Nonlinear association between blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio and obstructive sleep apnea: a cross-sectional study from NHANES
This study reveals a significant correlation between elevated BUCR levels and the incidence of OSA, particularly in the presence of diabetes. This discovery underscores the necessity for additional research to investigate the underlying mechanisms and ramifications of this connection within the diabetic context.
