Cancer prevalence is increased in females with sleep apnoea: data from the ESADA study
Open accessAbstract
In a cross-sectional analysis of the European Sleep Apnoea Database (ESADA), cancer prevalence was higher in females with OSA and nocturnal hypoxia, but not in males. Further studies are needed to assess causality of gender, OSA and cancer incidence.http://bit.ly/2YuxyZA

Five epidemiologic studies with less than 20 years of follow-up reported a significant correlation between obstructive sleep apnea severity and all cancers.
“Five epidemiologic studies with a shorter (<20 years) follow-up also reported a significant correlation between OSA severity and all cancers.”

The Abstract (page not specified) reports that some previous studies found an association between OSA and cancer risk. It does not establish that five studies with less than 20 years of follow-up found a significant correlation between OSA severity and all cancers; it also says studies reached contradictory conclusions. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThese studies reported increased cancer prevalence in women with obstructive sleep apnea but not in men.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
