Sleep Apnea Highlights at ERS 2025 describe differences between sleepy and non sleepy phenotypes as well as association between chronotypes and comorbidities in obstructive sleep apnea.

COPD highlights at ERS 2025 spanned COPD frailty, rehab components, appetite, biomarkers, trial criteria and sleep patterns—highlighting multidimensional insights into chronic airway disease management.

Individuals with depression are at a higher risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), as per NHANES analysis of 14,492 adults. Depression increased OSA risk by 31% (OR 1.31), with the strongest effect observed in those without insomnia (OR 1.65). Major OSA predictors in depressed individuals included BMI, age, hypertension, sex, marital status, caffeine and alcohol consumption, and dietary fat.

Cancer survivors with high baseline CV risk, evaluated by the PREVENT equations, had a nearly 16-fold greater all-cause mortality (aHR 15.6) and nearly 13-fold greater CV mortality (aHR 12.7) over a median 9.8-year follow-up. Risk varied by cancer type, with colon (54%) and prostate (46%) survivors most affected. Each 5% rise in baseline CV risk increased all-cause mortality by 36% (1.36) and CV mortality by 51% (1.5...
