Excessive daytime sleepiness and sex-related differences in the clinical presentation of obstructive sleep apnea in Italian patients
EDS occurred in <50 % of Italian untreated OSA patients and appeared modulated by several symptoms and hypoxemia. Compared to men, women showed similar EDS and a different pattern of symptoms/comorbidities. These findings provide insights for tailoring clinical management strategies in the Italian population.
