Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in the general population: A systematic review.
Chamara V. Senaratna,Chamara V. Senaratna,Jennifer L. Perret,Caroline J Lodge,Adrian J. Lowe,Brittany Campbell,Melanie C. Matheson,Garun S. Hamilton,Shyamali C. Dharmage +8 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that advancing age, male sex, and higher body-mass index increase OSA prevalence, and the prevalence was also greater in obese men and women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validity of the Berlin questionnaire in detecting obstructive sleep apnea: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Chamara V. Senaratna,Chamara V. Senaratna,Jennifer L. Perret,Melanie C. Matheson,Caroline J Lodge,Adrian J. Lowe,Raisa Cassim,Melissa Russell,John Burgess,Garun S. Hamilton,Shyamali C. Dharmage +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the Berlin questionnaire is useful as a clinical screening test and epidemiological tool in the sleep clinic population and likely has potential clinical and research utility in other populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current evidence on prevalence and clinical outcomes of co-morbid obstructive sleep apnea and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A systematic review
Shajedur Rahman Shawon,Jennifer L. Perret,Chamara V. Senaratna,Chamara V. Senaratna,Caroline J Lodge,Garun S. Hamilton,Shyamali C. Dharmage +6 more
TL;DR: The objective of this systematic review is to synthesize the evidence on prevalence, polysomnographic findings and clinical outcomes of co-morbid obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) - known as the "overlap syndrome", and highlight the limitations and knowledge gaps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep apnoea in Australian men: disease burden, co-morbidities, and correlates from the Australian longitudinal study on male health.
Chamara V. Senaratna,Chamara V. Senaratna,Dallas R. English,Dianne Currier,Jennifer L. Perret,Adrian J. Lowe,Caroline J Lodge,Melissa Russell,Sashane Sahabandu,Melanie C. Matheson,Garun S. Hamilton,Shyamali C. Dharmage +11 more
TL;DR: Prevalence of self-reported health professional-diagnosed sleep apnoea is relatively common, particularly in older males, and as men are especially vulnerable to sleep apNoea as well as some of its chronic co-morbidities, they are potentially a priority group for health interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of surgical weight loss on obstructive sleep apnoea: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Ai-Ming Wong,Ai-Ming Wong,Hayley Barnes,Simon A. Joosten,Simon A. Joosten,Shane A. Landry,Eli Dabscheck,Eli Dabscheck,Darren Mansfield,Darren Mansfield,Shyamali C. Dharmage,Chamara V. Senaratna,Chamara V. Senaratna,Bradley A. Edwards,Garun S. Hamilton,Garun S. Hamilton +15 more
TL;DR: Overall, surgical weight loss resulted in reduction of BMI and AHI, however, OSA persisted at follow-up in the majority of subjects, and there was high between-study heterogeneity which was largely attributable to baseline AHI and duration of follow- up when analysed using meta-regression.
