Abstract

Asthma has long been recognized as a common respiratory disease, and the recognition of sleep-disordered breathing is becoming more prevalent. Patients with these disorders are commonly seen by clinicians caring for patients with respiratory disease. There is also much academic interest in asthma and sleep-disordered breathing. The purpose of this paper is to review the recent literature related to asthma and sleep-disordered breathing in a manner that is most likely to have interest to the readers of RESPIRATORY CARE.
