Input (English): Question: Is sleep apnea an independent correlate of erectile and sexual dysfunction?

Irrespective of known risk factors, mean nocturnal SaO(2) was an additional, independent correlate of these dysfunctions, suggesting that OSA-related intermittent nocturnal hypoxemia specifically contributes to their development.
