Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Immunity: Relationship of Lymphocyte Count and Apnea Hypopnea Index

Objectives: The impact of chronic poor quality sleep on immunity as seen in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has not been evaluated. We aim to explore the relationship between lymphocytes, neutrophil, and total leukocyte counts with severity stratified apnea hypopnea index (AHI) in patients with OSA. Methods: A retrospective review of…

Nocturnal Hypoxia and Arterial Lactate Levels in Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders

Background:Lactate may be useful in pointing out the higher risk subgroups in sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) with various patterns of hypoxemia. We aimed to search whether morning and night lactate levels are related to apnea-hypopnea, hypoventilation, and hypoxemia in patients with SRBD and to compare it with patients without SRBD…
