Abstract
This may never be formally" proved" due to epidemiological problems in studies exploring such links. Regardless, interest in the link between OSA and stroke is growing, and numerous recent investigations have found a significant frequency of OSA following a stroke. Distinguishing whether OSA precedes and thus is a risk factor for stroke or whether OSA occurs because of stroke is challenging, and the question may never be fully resolved. Even if the sensory impairment at acceptance was very low in the lacunar group (SNSS 44 vs. 27, p-0.05), patients with lacunar infarcts showed poorer respiratory distress than in patients with previous cortical circulation disorders (mean AHI 44 vs. 28, p 0.05). The difference in AHI between those who died within 3 months (n = 10) and survivors (meaning AHI 33 vs. 25, p = 0.58) would be significant. In our group, the prevalence of sleep apnea (AHI 010) was higher than most previous studies. Bad breath was worse in the elderly and in people with lacunar strokes, but it improved in the weeks following the stroke. Many previous studies have used AHI 010 to characterize the SDB, and although this figure is inconclusive, we used it for comparison purposes. Many studies have noted the unusual age of the stroke cases investigated, most aged 65 or younger
