Abstract
|
|
|
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are individually quite common but co-existence is not highly prevalent at a population level. However, overlap syndrome is more common when considering populations diagnosed with either OSA or COPD. The overlap syndrome is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The survival of patients with overlap syndrome that is not treated with nocturnal positive airway pressure is significantly inferior to that of patients with overlap syndrome that is treated with. The diagnosis of OSA in patients with COPD requires awareness of relevant clinical features and there is a need for studies evaluating the role of screening for OSA in COPD.
