Brainstem infarction and sleep-disordered breathing in the BASIC sleep apnea study

摘要

Background: Association between cerebral infarction site and poststroke sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has important implications for SDB screening and the pathophysiology of poststroke SDB. Within a large, population-based study, we assessed whether brainstem infarction location is associated with SDB presence and severity.
