Clinical and physiological features of obstructive sleep apnoea phenotypes

阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停在不同的患者群体中有不同的病因和临床效果。我的研究将量化各种生理过程对不同亚型睡眠呼吸暂停中上呼吸道阻塞发展的贡献，并确定这如何影响临床表现。我将测量一些生理参数，并找出睡眠呼吸暂停在症状学和对健康的不良影响方面的表现。

Obstructive sleep apnoea has variable causes and clinical effects in different patient groups. My research will quantify the contribution of various physiological processes to the development of upper airway obstruction in different sub-types of sleep apnoea and to determine how this affects clinical presentation. I will be measuring a number of physiological parameters, and finding out how sleep apnoea manifests in terms of symptomatology and adverse health effects.
