Impact of obstructive sleep apnea on severe asthma exacerbations

摘要

Background: Patients with asthma have a higher incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the association between OSA and the exacerbation of severe asthma remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of OSA in a cross-sectional study of asthma patients and to prospectively examine the significance of the effect of OSA on severe asthma exacerbations.
