Clinical Application of the Multicomponent Grading System for Sleep Apnea Classification and Incident Cardiovascular Mortality.

ABSTRACT: Objective  To evaluate the clinical utility of the Baveno classification in predicting incident cardiovascular mortality after five years of follow-up in a clinic-based cohort of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Materials and Methods  We evaluated the reproducibility of the Baveno classification using data from the Santiago Obstructive Sleep Apnea (SantOSA) study. The groups were labeled Baveno A (minor symptoms and comorbidities), B (severe symptoms and minor comorbidities), C (minor symptoms and severe comorbidities), and D (severe symptoms and comorbidities). Within-group comparisons were performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc tests. The associations between groups and incident cardiovascular mortality were determined through the Mantel-Cox a
