However, dysfunctional breathing remains under-recognized with limited evidence in these patients. The study aimed to examine the relationship between dysfunctional breathing (DB) and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) among patients with moderate and severe OSA. The secondary objective was to compare DB between patients with moderate and severe OSA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross sectional study was performed at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore with 120 participants. The biomechanical component, biochemical component and patient reported symptoms of DB were assessed using manual assessment of respiratory motion (MARM), breath holding test (BHT) and self evaluation of breathing questionnaire (SEBQ), respectively. Correlation and regression analysis were used to determine the relationship between DB and AHI.
