Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Serious Adverse Outcomes in Patients with Cardiovascular or Cerebrovascular Disease A PRISMA-Compliant Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

摘要

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is seen in approximately 60% to 70% of patients with stroke or ischemic heart disease (IHD). The relationship between OSA and recurrent vascular events and all-cause mortality remains inconclusive. We aimed to systematically evaluate the associations between OSA and serious adverse outcomes following stroke or IHD by a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.
