Respiratory effort during sleep predicts mortality in patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea.
American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine·June 29, 2026·PMID 42371748
Why it mattersRespiratory effort during sleep may capture physiological stress not reflected by AHI or hypoxemia alone, offering a more comprehensive risk assessment for patients with suspected OSA. This could refine prognostic stratification and guide more personalized management in sleep and longevity-focused practices.
