Racial and ethnic differences in sleep-disordered breathing and sleep duration among stroke patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We sought to characterize racial and ethnic differences in pre- and post-stroke sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and pre-stroke sleep duration.

Methods

Within the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi cohort of patients with ischemic stroke (8/26/2010-1/31/2020), pre-stroke SDB risk was assessed retrospectively using the Berlin Questionnaire. Post-stroke SDB was defined by prospective collection of the respiratory event index (REI) using the ApneaLink Plus performed shortly after stroke. Pre-stroke sleep duration was self-reported. We used separate regression models to evaluate the association between race/ethnicity and each outcome (pre-stroke SDB, post-stroke SDB, and pre-stroke sleep duration), without and with adjustment for potential confounders.
