“…Meta-regression also showed the same modest trend of significant influence of age, BMI, and AHI. Many studies have found that patients with OSAS have higher level of TNF-α, 20,22,23,79,[85][86][87] and the level of TNF-α was correlated to OSA severity and nocturnal hypoxemia. 22,23,80,85 On the other hand, Fornadi et al did not find any significant difference in TNF-α level in 100 randomly selected kidney transplant patients, and there was no significant correlation with AHI.…”

“…1,2 Further support of this concept is derived from studies linking SDB to atherosclerotic pathways. [3][4][5][6] These studies provide insight into the mechanisms of vascular injury secondary to SDB. Although the impact of duration of this disorder on the development of risk factors for cardiovascular disease is difficult to estimate, morbidity secondary to SDB seems to manifest gradually, often taking decades.…”
