Abstract

Objective: Several studies have investigated the association between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and depression and anxiety; however, the relationship is still not understood very well. In this study we aimed to investigate the association between the hospital anxiety and depression (HAD) scores and the symptoms and polysomnographic (PSG) findings in patients referred with OSAS symptoms.
