Incidence, Characterization, and Predictors of Sleep Apnea in Consecutive Brain Injury Rehabilitation Admissions

Abstract

Sleep apnea is prevalent in acute neurorehabilitation admissions and traditional risk profiles for sleep apnea may not effectively screen for the disorder. Given the progressive nature of obstructive sleep apnea and morbidity associated with even mild obstructive sleep apnea, early identification and intervention may address comorbidities influencing acute and long-term outcome.
