Predicting the successful resolution of obstructive sleep apnoea following weight-loss surgery

目前的项目旨在确定肥胖是如何导致阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)的，OSA是一种与严重的心血管发病率和死亡率相关的疾病。鉴于肥胖是西方世界主要的医疗保健问题之一，这项研究是一个新兴领域。我们的发现可能最终提供一种改进的减肥干预措施，以最大限度地发挥其对阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征的影响，并在管理这种迫切需要的疾病方面提供新的治疗策略。

The current project aims to determine how obesity causes obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), a disorder associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity & mortality. This research is a burgeoning area given that obesity is one of the western world’s leading health care concerns. Our findings may ultimately offer a refinement of weight-loss interventions to maximise their effects on OSA as well as offering novel treatment strategies in the management of this disorder that is desperately needed.
