High likelihood for OSA, depression, poor asthma control in patients with asthma, insomnia

“I hope these findings raise awareness among providers that patients with asthma may have poor nocturnal control, or poor disease control in general, because of their asthma but also are impacted by other underlying mood and sleep disorders,” Sarah Rhoads, a second-year pulmonary sciences and critical care medicine fellow at the University of Colorado, told Healio. “I would like to see more attention paid to patients’ sleep quality, similar to the way that depression assessments have made it into the standard of care.”
