Flowchart of the study. Patients who were referred because of suspected OSA were divided into the TLDA cohort and the qPCR cohort and further divided for study on the basis of non-OSA and OSA. Six non-OSA and 21 OSA patients were used to perform a general screening of 188 miRNAs. Differentially expressed miRNAs were validated in an independent cohort. The analyses in the validation cohort were stratified by sex.
