Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that obstructive sleep apnea is associated with post-traumatic stress disorder?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed reviews and a large longitudinal military cohort report that obstructive sleep apnea and post-traumatic stress disorder are associated and often co-morbid, with OSA prevalence higher among PTSD sufferers. Several smaller cohort and case reports document the co-occurrence in specific populations.
