REM-related obstructive sleep apnoea in neuromuscular diseases: A 10-year retrospective cohort study

Key Points

• Obstructive sleep apnoea significantly affects sleep quality among individuals with neuromuscular diseases, underscoring the need for effective management strategies.
• A total of 10 years of data analysis uncovered notable respiratory events that correlate with REM sleep disruption in patients with these conditions.
• The retrospective cohort study highlights the critical role of sleep monitoring in understanding how neuromuscular diseases exacerbate sleep-related respiratory issues.
• Findings may enable improved diagnosis and treatment approaches, emphasizing the importance of addressing sleep disturbances in this population.
