Summary

Purposes:

1. To investigate whether patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) are at higher risk for exercised-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) due to baseline airway inflammation compared with age, gender, and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls.
2. To investigate the effect of 3-month continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on EIB for patients with severe OSAS.
