Association between Excessive Daytime Sleepiness and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Longitudinal Cohort Studies

This meta-analysis summarizes the evidence from longitudinal cohort studies on the relationship between EDS and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or all-cause mortality.
