Effects of severe obstructive sleep apnea on functional prognosis in the acute phase of ischemic stroke and quantitative electroencephalographic markers.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on functional prognosis in the acute phase and quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) markers during sleep in ischemic stroke patients. METHODS:This study included 125 mild-to-moderate acute ischemic stroke patients with OSA who underwent polysomnography (PSG) within one week of stroke onset between January 2015 and June 2020. Patients were grouped according to their apnea-hypopnea index (更多
