Obstructive sleep apnea exacerbates airway inflammation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Highlights • We compared the levels of airway inflammation between overlap syndrome and COPD. • Levels of neutrophils, TNFα, and IL-8 were higher in patients with overlap syndrome. • The percentage of neutrophils was associated with the TNFα concentration and IL-8 levels. • TNFα levels were signific...
