Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a frequent comorbidity in stroke patients. SDB is one of the independent risk factors for ischemic stroke. Conversely, stroke may contribute to SDB onset or aggravate premorbid SDB. Multiple mechanisms underlying SDB might be responsible for the development of stroke. The aim of this study was to compare polysomnographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of wake-up (WUS) and non-wake-up acute ischemic strokes (NWUS).
