Association between endothelial cell activation and stress index and prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea: a cross-sectional study from the United States

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder closely linked to endothelial dysfunction. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of three distinct endothelial cell activation and stress index (EASIX) variants in patients with OSA and to investigate their associations with this condition. This cross-secti...

Association between endothelial activation and stress index and all-cause mortality risk in cerebral infarction patients

Acute cerebral infarction (ACI) is a major cause of global morbidity and mortality, with endothelial dysfunction being a key factor in its pathophysiology. The Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX) is a novel biomarker reflecting endothelial injury and systemic stress; however, its prognostic role in mortalit...

Association of advanced lung cancer inflammation index with hypertension in obstructive sleep apnea

The relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension has been well established. The Advanced Lung Cancer Inflammation Index (ALI), which integrates markers of inflammation and nutritional status, has been associated with hypertension in OSA patients. This study aimed to explore the association betwee...

The mediating role of cardiac autonomic imbalance in the association between hypoxic burden and dyslipidemia in obstructive sleep apnea

Abstract Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cardiac autonomic dysfunction and impaired lipid homeostasis. We investigated whether cardiac autonomic imbalance mediates the association between hypoxic burden (HB) and dyslipidemia. Methods Between January 2022 and March 2026, we consecutively enro...

Obstructive sleep apnea-related hypoxemia and heart rate dynamics are associated with systemic inflammation in people living with HIV

People living with HIV (PLWH) have elevated systemic inflammation, even while adherent to anti-retroviral therapy (ART), contributing to high burden of cardiometabolic diseases. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which promotes inflammation, is more prevalent in this population, yet its contribution to increased morbidity...

Conventional and novel hypoxemia-related indices for obstructive sleep apnea severity and incident hypertension: a prospective cohort study

Background and objective Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with hypertension (HTN), but the apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) may not fully characterize nocturnal hypoxemia relevant to HTN development. We evaluated the associations of the sleep breathing impairment index (SBII) an...
