OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is commonly assessed using the apnea-hypopnea index, although this measure does not fully reflect cardiovascular risk or the physiological impact of the disease. Emerging biomarkers, including sleep apnea-specific hypoxic burden, pulse wave amplitude drop index, and heart rate response, may provide additional information on cardiovascular vulnerability. This prospective multicenter observational study will investigate the association between these biomarkers, measured from the diagnostic sleep study, and adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy after three months. Symptoms, quality of life, clinical characteristics, and changes in biomarkers under continuous positive airway pressure will also be evaluated.
