TL;DR
Respiratory disturbance index (RDI) was significantly higher in patients with uncontrolled hypertension than in those with controlled hypertension and should be considered, in addition to traditional confounders, as a risk factor for poor blood pressure control in younger hypertensive patients.
Abstract
SRBD should be considered, in addition to traditional confounders, as a risk factor for poor blood pressure control in younger hypertensive patients (< or = 50 years of age).
