Clinical characteristics of snoring patients with primary aldosteronism and obstructive sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome

Sleep Architecture in Patients With Primary Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate sleep architecture in patients with primary snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Methods: In this study, we analyzed polysomnographic data of 391 clients who referred to Sleep Disorders Research Center (SDRS). These people were classified into three groups based on their Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) and snoring; control, Primary Snoring (PS), and Obs...

Obstructive sleep apnea and primary snoring: treatment.

Inability of clinical history to distinguish primary snoring from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children.

STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine whether primary snoring (PS) could be distinguished from childhood obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) by clinical history. DESIGN Retrospective study of clinical history of 83 children with snoring and/or sleep disordered breathing who were referred for polysomnography. SETTING Tertiary referral center; pediatric pulmonary sleep apnea clinic. MEASUREMENTS...

Sleep quality in patients with primary aldosteronism.

OBJECTIVE In subjects at high risk for sleep apnea (SA), aldosterone concentrations correlate with severity of SA and primary aldosteronism (PA) is very often diagnosed. Patients with PA show a high prevalence of SA. Treatment of PA either by adrenalectomy (ADX) or mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) blockade is thought to abolish the increased comorbidities. However, no data are available regardin...

Association between primary nocturnal enuresis and habitual snoring in children with obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome

INTRODUCTION Nocturnal enuresis (NE) and obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) are common problems during childhood, and population studies have reported a significant correlation between them. This study aimed to assess whether habitual snoring, mouth breathing and daytime sleepiness are associated with increased incidence of NE in children with OSAHS. MATERIAL AND METHODS Poly...
