| Abstract | Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is already a staunch contributor to the national burden of respiratory disease and this burden is growing rapidly. Healthcare professionals are now increasingly aware of presenting symptoms such as snoring, ‘choking’ episodes during sleep and excessive daytime somnolence. When excessive daytime sleepiness is present, the condition is referred to as obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). This review explores current knowledge regarding the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of OSAS, as well as looking in more detail at the links between OSAS and other common co-morbidities – an area of growing research interest that may provide alternative targets for therapeutic intervention. |
