Long-term all-cause mortality risk in obstructive sleep apnea using hypopneas defined by a ≥3 percent oxygen desaturation or arousal

Long-term all-cause mortality risk in obstructive sleep apnea using hypopneas defined by a ≥3 percent oxygen desaturation or arousal

Study Objectives: Some prior studies have demonstrated an increase in mortality associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) utilizing a definition of OSA that requires a minimum 4% oxygen desaturation to identify a hypopnea. No large community-based studies have determined the risk of long-term mo...
