Özet

Objective: Diabetes mellitus and obesity are well-known risk factors associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Cushing's syndrome (CS) is also characterized by obesity and diabetes mellitus. However, the association between CS and OSA remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the possible associations between CS and OSA in this study.
