Sponsor's own description

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of obstructive events (apnea and hypopnea) and intermittent hypoxia, which in turn contributes to the systemic inflammation that underlies this disease and its consequences (Ryan et al 2009, Gileles-Hillel et al 2014). This systemic inflammation leads to endothelial dysfunction, which contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular complications in OSAS, in addition to the exposure to risk factors, such as male gender, older age, obesity, and lack of exercise (Lorenzi Filho et al 2010). Some red blood cells (RBC) and platelets indices have emerged as inflammatory biomarkers in various diseases (Tertemiz et al 2016) The severity of OSA is significantly associated with increase hematocrit, even after controlling for possible confounding variables. However, nocturnal hypoxemia in OSA does not usually lead to clinical polycythemia (Choi et al 2006). In patients referred with a clinical diagnosis of OSAS, RDW may be a marker for the severity of the condition. As RDW is usually included in a complete blood count, it could provide an inexpensive tool for triaging OSAS patients for polysomnography evaluation (Sökücü et al 2012). The hematological indices white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) have been proposed as alternative markers to those normally used clinically, e.g., interleukin-6 (IL6) and C-reactive protein, to evaluate the burden of inflammation in OSAS (Wu et al 2018)
