Burden of Comorbidities in Patients with OSAS and COPD-OSAS Overlap Syndrome
<i>Background and Objectives</i>: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are usually associated with multi-morbidity. The aim of this study was to retrospectively investigate the prevalence of comorbidities in a cohort of patients with OS...
