“…Such patients are frequently admitted and treated empirically for other cardiopulmonary disorders, often for years, before the diagnosis is made. 3 The delay in diagnosis may be due to difficulties in obtaining timely (e.g., inpatient) polysomnography for the formal diagnosis of OSA. Inpatient portable monitoring is technically feasible, although few centers provide such testing.…”

“…Tüm dünyada artan obezite nedeni ile OHS sıklığı ve önemi giderek artmaktadır. OHS olgularında başta kardiyovasküler hastalıklar olmak üzere eşlik eden ko-morbiditeler nedeni ile hastane yatış oranı ve sağlık harcamaları yüksektir (4)(5)(6)(7)(8). OHS'de normal obezlere ve saf OUAS olgularına göre pulmoner hipertansiyon (PH) ve kor pulmonale daha sıktır (9)(10)(11).…”

“…OHS'de normal obezlere ve saf OUAS olgularına göre pulmoner hipertansiyon (PH) ve kor pulmonale daha sıktır (9)(10)(11). Bu nedenle morbidite ve mortalite de yüksektir (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). Yapılan sınırlı sayıdaki çalışmada OHS olgularında PH sıklığı %50-88 olarak bildirilmiştir (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17).…”
