Key result
Neck circumference was an independent risk factor for severe OSAS (p=0.01), whereas metabolic syndrome prevalence did not differ between severe and non-severe OSAS patients (64% vs 61.1%, p=0.847).
Population
44 patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) based on overnight polysomnography

Neck circumference assessment may refine severe OSAS risk stratification; leaves open metabolic syndrome's association with severity.
Cross-Sectional (n=44)
Absolute Event Rate: 64% vs 61.1%
p-value: p=0.847
Neck circumference is an independent risk factor for severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, whereas metabolic syndrome prevalence does not correlate with OSAS severity.
Mustafa Yenigün (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (n=44). Severe OSAS vs. Non-severe OSAS was evaluated on Metabolic syndrome (p=0.847). Neck circumference was an independent risk factor for severe OSAS (p=0.01), whereas metabolic syndrome prevalence did not differ between severe and non-severe OSAS patients (64% vs 61.1%, p=0.847).
