The relationship between seasonal variation of obstructive sleep apnea and ambient temperature and pollutants has been inconsistent in previous studies. It is also unknown whether the seasonal variation in apnea-hypopnea index influences continuous positive airway pressure treatment dose. This study aims to examine the seasonality of obstructive sleep apnea and continuous positive airway pressure treatment, and the association between air pollutants and apnea-hypopnea index in adults with different sleep apnea severity during different sleep stages.
