The 29 pages that link to Obstructive sleep apnea, each with the reason it gives.

• ObesityRelated: Obesity increases its risk, making screening relevant in clinical assessment.

• Atrial fibrillationRelated: Sleep apnea is associated with atrial fibrillation and can affect recurrence after treatment.

• Respiratory depressionCompared with: It causes intermittent airflow obstruction rather than primarily suppressed breathing drive.

• Acute respiratory distress syndromeCompared with: It causes intermittent breathing disruption rather than acute inflammatory failure of the lung air-blood barrier.

• PolysomnographyRelated: Polysomnography detects its breathing events, oxygen changes, and sleep disruption.

• Sleep apneaBroader topic: Airway collapse is the most common mechanism behind sleep apnea.

• NarcolepsyCompared with: It can cause daytime sleepiness, but arises from disrupted breathing rather than narcoleptic sleep–wake regulation.

• PharynxRelated: Collapse of the pharyngeal airway is a common cause of obstruction during sleep.

• Sleep architectureRelated: Respiratory events can fragment sleep and alter the observed stage distribution.

• Sleep paralysisRelated: Sleep disruption from apnea may be associated with episodes of sleep paralysis.

• AcromegalyRelated: Enlarged soft tissues in the airway can raise the risk of this disorder.

• ApneaBroader topic: The airway closes despite continued effort to breathe.

• Restless legs syndromeRelated: It is a distinct sleep disorder that clinicians may consider when assessing disrupted sleep.

• Sleep medicineBroader topic: It is a common disorder diagnosed and treated in sleep clinics.

• Bariatric surgeryRelated: Weight loss after surgery can reduce airway obstruction and sleep apnea severity.

• Multiple Sleep Latency TestRelated: Untreated apnea can cause daytime sleepiness and complicate MSLT interpretation.

• Testosterone replacement therapyCompared with: Untreated severe disease can complicate treatment decisions and warrants attention before prescribing.

• BruxismCompared with: It may coexist with sleep bruxism, but airway obstruction is a separate diagnosis and treatment target.

• ModafinilRelated: Modafinil can treat residual sleepiness when airway treatment has not resolved it.

• SomnolenceBroader topic: Fragmented nighttime sleep commonly leaves affected people somnolent during the day.

• PulmonologyRelated: Sleep medicine overlaps with pulmonology, especially in diagnosing and treating sleep-related breathing disorders.

• HypopneaRelated: Partial airway obstruction can produce hypopneas as well as complete breathing pauses.

• Sleep disorderBroader topic: Airway obstruction fragments sleep and can cause intermittent drops in blood oxygen.

• TonsilRelated: Enlarged tonsils can narrow the airway, particularly in children.

• TonsillectomyRelated: Enlarged tonsils can narrow the airway, especially in children.

• SleepwalkingRelated: Breathing-related arousals can trigger episodes in susceptible people.

• Central hypoventilation syndromeCompared with: It can resemble central hypoventilation clinically, but airflow is obstructed rather than respiratory drive reduced.

• Otorhinolaryngologic DiseasesRelated: Upper-airway anatomy links this sleep disorder to ENT evaluation and treatment.

• SomnologyBroader topic: Its diagnosis and treatment rely on measuring sleep and breathing together.
