A systematic review of central sleep apnea in adult patients with chronic kidney disease

摘要

Obstructive sleep apnea has been widely studied in patients with chronic renal insufficiency; however only a limited number of studies have reviewed the association between central sleep apnea (CSA) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The objectives of this systematic review were to assess the prevalence of CSA in and its association with CKD in adult patients and to determine if inclusion of the central hypopnea index affected the reported rates for the prevalence of CSA in CKD.
