Abstract:Objective
The purpose of this study was to determine the sleep stage during which isolated snoring occurs in children and adults, and to analyze changes after treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Methods
This retrospective study examined duration of snoring time and respiratory events during each sleep stage in adults and children who underwent polysomnography, had an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) < 15/h and had snoring time ≥ 10% of total sleep time. Changes in duration of snoring time were also exam… Show more
