Abstract
OBSTRUCTIVE sleep apnea (OSA) is the most prevalent breathing disturbance in sleep,1 affecting 2–26% of the general population depending on sex, age, and the definition of criteria.2 OSA is associated with significant morbidity, including excessive daytime sleepiness, loud snoring during sleep, refractory hypertension, and impaired quality of life. Studies have also shown that OSA is associated with a high risk for traffic accidents and cardiovascular disease.3,4Keywords
