Respiratory Arousal Threshold in Patients with Epilepsy and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Our study provides insights into the presence of a low rAT in PWE+OSA, with no significant difference in its ratio compared to OSA controls. However, since rAT was estimated using a predictive model rather than direct measurement, this limitation may affect the interpretation of our findings. Further studies using gold-standard methods are needed to clarify the underlying mechanisms contributing to the higher OSA prevalence in PWE.
