Serum S100B: A possible biomarker for severity of obstructive sleep apnea
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by upper airway collapsibility and intermittent hypoxia (IH) during sleep. It has neurological complications and it has been associated with morbidity and mortality. Increased serum levels of S100B protein indicates brain injury. Early det...
