A new study has shown a 31 per cent increase in risk of hospitalization and mortality in impaired breathing patients and sleep - related hypoxia.
The research team, led by Reena Mehra, MD, examined retrospect data from the 5,400 Cleveland Clinic patients. The findings showed that while patients with respiratory disorders and sleep-related hypoxis do not have an increased risk of developing COVID-19, they have a worse clinical prognosis from the disease, writes Hindutimes, broadcast Klankosova.tv.
This study improved our understanding of the connection between sleep disorders and the risk of negative results of COVID-19. He suggests that biomarketers and inflammation can mediate this relationship,” said Dr Mehra, director of Sleep Disorders Research at Cleveland Clinic
The study was financed by a Neuroscience Transforming Resources Development Award given to Dr Mehra, and findings were published in the magazine HINA JAMA Network Open.
