   Using the Berlin Questionnaire to identify patients at risk for the sleep apnea syndrome.

   Annals of internal medicine·1999·n=744200 influential citations

   <h4>Background</h4>Although sleep apnea is common, it often goes undiagnosed in primary care encounters.<h4>Objective</h4>To test the Berlin Questionnaire as a means of identifying patients with sleep apnea.<h4>Design</h4>Survey followed…

   Obstructive sleep apnea: implications for cardiac and vascular disease.

   JAMA·2003·n=15200 influential citations

   <h4>Context</h4>Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been increasingly implicated in the initiation and progression of cardiovascular diseases.<h4>Objective</h4>To systematically review the interactions of OSA with cardiovascular…

3. 03

   Risk factors for central and obstructive sleep apnea in 450 men and women with congestive heart failure.

   American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine·1999·n=450200 influential citations

   In previous analyses of the occurrence of central (CSA) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), only men were studied and risk factors for these disorders were not well characterized. We therefore…

4. 04

   Obstructive sleep apnoea.

   Lancet (London, England)·2002200 influential citations

   Obstructive sleep apnoea is a disease of increasing importance because of its neurocognitive and cardiovascular sequelae. Abnormalities in the anatomy of the pharynx, the physiology of the upper airway muscle dilator, and the stability of…

   Clinical practice guideline: diagnosis and management of childhood obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

   Pediatrics·2002200 influential citations

   This clinical practice guideline, intended for use by primary care clinicians, provides recommendations for the diagnosis and management of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The Section on Pediatric Pulmonology of the American…

   Increased incidence of cardiovascular disease in middle-aged men with obstructive sleep apnea: a 7-year follow-up.

   American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine·2002169 influential citations

   The incidence of a cardiovascular disease (CVD) was explored in a consecutive sleep clinic cohort of 182 middle-aged men (mean age, 46.8 +/- 9.3; range, 30-69 years in 1991) with or without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). All subjects were…

7. 07

   Obstructive sleep apnoea is independently associated with an increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome.

   European heart journal·2004162 influential citations

   <h4>Aims</h4>Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although it was previously assumed that this was due to its relation with obesity, recent data suggest that OSA is…

8. 08

   Clinical value of polysomnography.

   Lancet (London, England)·1992·n=163147 influential citations

   Polysomnography is used increasingly to investigate patients with possible sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (SAHS), but it has not been assessed critically. We thus examined prospectively the value of electrophysiological and respiratory…

9. 09

   Technical report: diagnosis and management of childhood obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

   Pediatrics·2002133 influential citations

   <h4>Objective</h4>This technical report describes the procedures involved in developing the recommendations of the Subcommittee on Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in children. The group of primary interest for this report was otherwise…

    Neuropsychological dysfunction in sleep apnea.

    Sleep·1987·n=10120 influential citations

    To evaluate the effect of intermittent hypoxemia on neuropsychological functioning, neuropsychological tests were administered to 14 sleep apnea patients, a control group of 10 patients with other disorders of excessive somnolence, and…
