Correlation Between Peripheral Blood Inflammatory Markers and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity.

ABSTRACT: ImportancePeripheral blood inflammatory indices provide a noninvasive and cost-effective means to assess systemic inflammation. This study highlights the potential of pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) as a reliable biomarker for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity, with implications for clinical risk stratification.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association between peripheral blood inflammatory markers and OSA severity and identify predictive biomarkers for disease classification.DesignProspective observational study.SettingSingle tertiary academic medical center (Peking University Third Hospital), outpatient sleep clinic.Participants266 adults with snoring (18-70 years) undergoing sleep monitoring, laryngoscopy, and blood tests. Exclusion criteria included recent infection, systemic illnes
