title = "Association of obstructive sleep apnoea and long-term cardiovascular events in a prospective sleep clinic cohort",
abstract = "Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), a complex heterogenous sleep disorder, is an independent risk factor for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE); however, the magnitude of this relationship is not fully understood. This thesis studied a large well-characterised sleep clinic cohort, the West Australian Sleep Health Study, and sought to examine the relationship between OSA, cardiovascular risk factors, and adherent long-term continuous positive airway pressure therapy to identify OSA phenotypes at increased risk of MACE. The findings of this thesis may help facilitate a precision medicine approach in OSA and provide important targets for clinical trials of OSA treatment. ",
