Sleep apnoea-hypopnoea index is an independent predictor of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein elevation.

Recent reports have identified the apnoea and hypopnoea index (AHI) as an additional independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, several studies reported contradictory results about the association between the serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level and the severity of apnoea. Objective: The purpose of this work is to study this association in patients referred to the sleep laboratory for clinical suspicion of sleep apnoea and presenting a wide range of AHI.
