Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete airway obstruction during sleep associated with a decrease in oxyhemoglobin saturation leading to sleep disruption. This chronic interrupted sleep condition will eventually produce a collection of physiologic derangements. If it is left untreated, OSA can negatively affect the neurocognition leading to impaired concentration and memory, excessive daytime somnolence, and ultimately, increase the risk of cardiovascular morbidity (Kenderska et al., 2014). The global prevalence of OSA in adults is estimated to be around 14% (Benjafield et al., 2019). Similarly in Malaysia, about 15% to 20% adults presented with OSA features including obesity, snoring, hypersomnolence and interrupted breathing during sleep (Kamil et al., 2007)
