Özet
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder which is characterized by the recurrent episodic disruption of normal breathing (apnea, hypopnea) during sleep due to obstruction in upper respiratory tract and it is related with many organ systems. Frequent disruption of sleep activates sympathetic system which causes impairment of sleep and cardiovascular system disorders. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of daytime sleepiness on clinical outcomes in patients diagnosed with OSAS.
