| Summary: | Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is
characterized by recurrent episodes of
partial or complete airway obstruction
during sleep associated with a decrease in
oxyhemoglobin saturation leading to sleep
disruption. This chronic interrupted sleep
condition will eventually produce a
collection of physiologic derangements. If it
is left untreated, OSA can negatively affect
the neurocognition leading to impaired
concentration and memory, excessive
daytime somnolence, and ultimately,
increase the risk of cardiovascular morbidity
(Kenderska et al., 2014). The global
prevalence of OSA in adults is estimated to
be around 14% (Benjafield et al., 2019).
Similarly in Malaysia, about 15% to 20%
adults presented with OSA features
including obesity, snoring,
hypersomnolence and interrupted breathing
during sleep (Kamil et al., 2007) |
