Association between obstructive sleep apnea and the risk of cerebrovascular disease in COPD patients
The severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was positively and proportionally associated with the risk of cerebrovascular disease among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The association between OSA and cerebrovascular disease was more pronounced among male patients and individuals aged ≥70 years. Strengthened preventive and management strategies for cerebrovascular disease should be prioritized in COPD patients, especially those with concomitant OSA.
