    Nocturnal nasal obstruction is frequent and reduces sleep quality in patients with obstructive sleep apnea 
    Värendh, Maria; Andersson, Morgan; Björnsdóttir, Erla; Hrubos-Strøm, Harald; Johannisson, Arne; Arnardottir, Erna Sif; Gislason, Thorarinn; Júlíusson, Sigurður (Wiley, 2017-11-06)
    The prevalence and consequences of nasal obstruction in untreated obstructive sleep apnea patients are not known. The study objectives were to investigate the frequency of subjective and objective nasal obstruction in untreated sleep apnea patients and ...

    Obesity modulates the association between sleep apnea treatment and CHI3L1 levels but not CHIT1 activity in moderate to severe OSA: an observational study 
    Teitsdóttir, Unnur Diljá; Arnardottir, Erna Sif; Björnsdóttir, Erla; Gislason, Thorarinn; Petersen, Petur Henry (Springer Nature, 2018-10-11)
    Purpose The inflammatory markers chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) and chitotriosidase (CHIT1) have both been associated with cardiovascular complications. The aim of this preliminary observational study was to assess the roles and interaction ...

    PAP treatment in patients with OSA does not induce long‐term nasal obstruction 
    Värendh, Maria; Andersson, Morgan; Björnsdóttir, Erla; Arnardottir, Erna Sif; Gislason, Thorarinn; Pack, Allan; Hrubos-Strøm, Harald; Johannisson, Arne; Júlíusson, Sigurður (Wiley, 2018-09-28)
    We hypothesized that positive airway pressure treatment would induce nasal obstruction and decrease nasal cavity due to mucosal swelling. We further hypothesized that subjective and objective nasal obstruction at baseline would negatively affect positive ...

    Respiratory symptoms are more common among short sleepers independent of obesity 
    Björnsdóttir, Erla; Janson, Christer; Lindberg, Eva; Arnardottir, Erna Sif; Benediktsdóttir, Bryndís; Garcia-Aymerich, Judith; Carsin, Anne Elie; Real, Francisco Gómez; Torén, Kjell; Heinrich, Joachim; Nowak, Dennis; Sánchez-Ramos, José Luis; Demoly, Pascal; Arenas, Sandra Dorado; Navarro, Ramon Coloma; Schlünssen, Vivi; Raherison, Chantal; Jarvis, Debbie L; Gislason, Thorarinn (BMJ, 2017-08)
    Introduction Sleep length has been associated with obesity and various adverse health outcomes. The possible association of sleep length and respiratory symptoms has not been previously described. The aim of this study was to investigate the association ...

    Severe desaturations increase psychomotor vigilance task-based median reaction time and number of lapses in obstructive sleep apnoea patients 
    Kainulainen, Samu; Duce, Brett; Korkalainen, Henri; Oksenberg, Arie; Leino, Akseli; Arnardottir, Erna Sif; Kulkas, Antti; Myllymaa, Sami; Töyräs, Juha; Leppänen, Timo (European Respiratory Society (ERS), 2020-04)
    Current diagnostic parameters estimating obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) severity have a poor connection to the psychomotor vigilance of OSA patients. Thus, we aimed to investigate how the severity of apnoeas, hypopnoeas and intermittent hypoxaemia is ...
