This study showed that there was no increase in OSAS frequency in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism, but it demonstrated that the ODI and the arousal index were significantly increased in OSAS patients diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism. It is thought that the diagnosis and treatment of OSAS in these patients may be important in preventing cardiovascular complications.
