Sleep-disordered breathing and poststroke outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the association between sleep-disordered breathing and stroke outcomes, and determine the contribution of sleep-disordered breathing to outcome disparities in Mexican Americans.

Methods

Ischemic stroke patients (n = 995), identified from the population-based Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi Project (2010-2015), were offered participation in a sleep-disordered breathing study including a home sleep apnea test (ApneaLink Plus). Sleep-disordered breathing (respiratory event index ≥10) was determined soon after stroke. Neurologic, functional, cognitive, and quality of life outcomes were assessed at 90 days poststroke. Regression models were used to assess associations between sleep-disordered breathing and outcomes, adjusted for sociodemographics,
