1 day ago · This group of patients has increased risk of OSA, possibly due to AR obstruction inhibiting nasal receptors and increasing airflow resistance. The authors recommend that, given its high prevalence and morbidity, patients with AR with moderate-to-severe sleep impairment should be considered for sleep disorder evaluation.

However, this may be done only after referral to the appropriate physician specialist, as part of a multi-disciplinary team, with consideration of the likely effectiveness of treatment, and after all likely and potential negative consequences have been considered and thoroughly discussed with the patient.
1 day ago · Type 2 diabetes drug tirzepatide has been shown to be effective in treating moderate to severe sleep apnoea in a worldwide clinical trial. US researchers showed that tirzepatide (Mounjaro) — a GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonist (RA) — can significantly lowers breathing interruptions during sleep, a key indicator of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) severity.
4 days ago · The SURMOUNT-OSA trials are pivotal for several reasons. First, they address a critical gap in the treatment of OSA by introducing a pharmacologic option that targets the root cause—excess adiposity. Second, the trials comprehensively evaluate the multifaceted benefits of tirzepatide, beyond its weight reduction properties.
