[Obstructive sleep apnea - underestimated cognitive impairments risk factor].

Abstract

About 40% of cases of cognitive impairment (CI) are associated with modifiable risk factors, such as inactivity, hypertension, diabetes and obesity. Recently, sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA), have been considered among these factors. OSA is one of the most widespread conditions among patients with CI. The pathogenesis of cerebral lesions in OSA is complex. Timely diagnosis and complex therapy of patients with OSA can reduce the risk, reduce the severity of CI and slow their progression. Along with non-drug methods of treatment, the use of the drug Cortexin with a multimodal mechanism of action can minimize the negative impact of OSA on the cognitive health of patients. Early detection and treatment of OSA can reduce the severity of CI and slow their progression.
