Prevalence and predictors of obstructive sleep apnea among patients with bronchial asthma

Key Points

• The aim is to assess the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among patients with bronchial asthma and identify associated predictors.
• Investigated the prevalence of OSA in patients with bronchial asthma.
• Evaluated the relationship between OSA, asthma severity, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
• Recommended routine sleep assessments for comprehensive asthma management.
• High prevalence of OSA noted in patients with bronchial asthma, especially those with severe conditions.
• A significant association found between OSA and GERD in asthma patients.
• Need for larger longitudinal studies identified to confirm these observations.
