This is the first report to investigate the prevalence of OSA in Japanese asthma patients, using an HST. This study suggests that an HST should be performed in addition to the sleep interview for asthma patients with refractory disease, a low pulmonary function, advanced age, and high BMI because the more severe the OSA, the lower the ESS value may be.
