Given a passage with a context and an answer, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. Construct the question in such a way that (i) it is unambiguous, (ii) it is answerable from the passage, (iii) its answer is unique (iv) it answer uses text phrases from the passage. Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.

Q: Context: Despite their high prevalence, sleep disorders often remain unrecognized and untreated because of barriers to assessment and management. The aims of the present study were to examine associations of complaints of sleep disturbances with cardiovascular disease, related risk factors, and inflammation in the community and to determine the contribution of sleep disturbances to self-perceived physical health.', 'The sample consists of n\u200a=\u200a10.000 participants, aged 35 to 74 years of a population based community sample in Germany. Cross-sectional associations of complaints of sleep disturbances with cardiovascular risk factors and disease, biomarkers of inflammation, depression, anxiety, and physical health status were analyzed.', '19% of our sample endorsed clinically significant sleep disturbances. In the unadjusted analyses severity of sleep disturbances increased with female sex, low socioeconomic status, living without a partnership, cardiovascular disease, depression, anxiety, poor physical health, increased levels of C-reactive protein and fibrinogen. After multivariate adjustment robust associations with coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and dyslipidemia remained. Complaints of sleep disturbances were strong and independent contributors to self-perceived poor physical health beyond depression, anxiety and medical disease burden.
Answer: Given the high prevalence of complaints of sleep disturbances and their strong impact on health status, increased efforts should be undertaken for their identification and treatment.

Q: Context: We hypothesised that short-term application of bi-level nasal continuous positive airway pressure CPAP (SiPAP) compared with conventional nasal CPAP (nCPAP) at the same mean airway pressure in infants with persistent oxygen need recovering from respiratory distress syndrome would improve CO2 removal with no change in oxygen requirement.', 'Non-blinded, randomised, observational four-period crossover study.', 'Level III NICU; low-birthweight infants requiring CPAP and oxygen while recovering from respiratory distress syndrome.', 'Infants requiring nasal CPAP for >24\u2005h prior to study enrolment, and fraction of inspired oxygen requirement (FiO2) of 0.25-0.5, were randomised to either nCPAP or SiPAP. A crossover design with four 1 h treatment periods was used such that each infant received both treatments twice. Oxygen saturations (SaO2), transcutaneous CO2 (tcCO2) and vital signs were monitored continuously. Polysomnographic recordings were analysed for apnoea, bradycardia and oxygen desaturation.', 'Twenty low-birthweight infants receiving 0.3±0.04% supplemental oxygen on CPAP of 6 cm H2O were studied at an average of 33\u2005days of age (±23\u2005days, SD). There were no differences in tcCO2 or other physiological parameters except mean blood pressure, which was lower during nCPAP (52.3±8.3 vs 54.4±9.1\u2005mm\u2005Hg; ±SD; p<0.01). No differences in short or prolonged apnoea, bradycardia or significant desaturation events were observed.
Answer: At similar mean airway pressures, SiPAP does not improve CO2 removal, oxygenation or other studied physiological parameters with the exception of mean blood pressure, which was not clinically significant.

A: Does bi-level CPAP improve gas exchange when compared with conventional CPAP for the treatment of neonates recovering from respiratory distress syndrome?

Q: Context: Statins have been shown to possess antiinflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. In this study, we sought to determine if preoperative statin therapy is associated with a reduced frequency of postoperative acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in surgical populations at increased risk of developing ARDS.', 'We performed a retrospective cohort evaluation of the association between preoperative statin therapy and early postoperative ARDS in patients undergoing elective high-risk thoracic and aortic vascular surgery. The association between preoperative statin therapy and postoperative ARDS was assessed using propensity-adjusted analyses to control for indication bias and confounding factors.', 'Of 1845 patients, 722 were receiving preoperative statin therapy. One hundred twenty patients developed postoperative ARDS. Frequencies of ARDS among those receiving statin therapy versus those who were not was 7.2% and 6.1%, respectively (OR = 1.20; 95% CI, 0.83-1.75; P = 0.330). Neither the stratified propensity score analysis (pooled OR 0.93; 95% CI, 0.60-1.43) nor matched analysis (OR = 0.78; 95% CI, 0.48-1.27) identified a statistically significant association between preoperative statin administration and postoperative ARDS. When compared to matched controls, patients who developed postoperative ARDS did not differ in mortality (7.7% vs 8.8%, P = 0.51), hospital length of stay (21 days vs 15 days, P = 0.21), or ventilator-free days (24 days vs 25 days, P = 0.62).
Answer: In patients undergoing high-risk surgery, preoperative statin therapy was not associated with a statistically significant reduction in postoperative ARDS. These results do not support the use of statins as prophylaxis against ARDS in patients undergoing high-risk surgery.
