    Among obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, there exists a high prevalence of hypertension. Determining the optimal blood pressure (BP) monitoring modality in this population will lead to a better understanding of hypertension profiles and a more accurate diagnosis of hypertension. PubMed, Ovid/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL databases were screened, and the relevant articles regarding BP monitoring in OSA patient population were selected. Studies evaluating both ambulatory (ABPM) and office BP measurements were selected to be analyzed for the hypertension diagnosis specificity of ABPM measurement in OSA patients compared with office measurements. If reported, additional information regarding white-coat, masked hypertension, and circadian BP pattern prevalence was included. A cumulative analysis of five studies revealed a prevalence of hypertension based on BP to be 44%, whereas a cumulative analysis of four studies revealed a prevalence of hypertension based on ABPM to be 66%. Excluding a study with the nighttime assessment of hypertension reduced the cumulative prevalence of hypertension in OSA patients to 59%. The cumulative prevalence of Studies demonstrated the prevalence of masked and white-coat hypertension to be 34 and 9%, respectively. As a higher prevalence of hypertension was detected by ABPM and nighttime measurement, it can be deduced that ABPM is more sensitive in determining OSA patients with hypertension, and that nighttime ABPM further increases this sensitivity. The presence of masked and white-coat hypertension in OSA patients underlines the importance of correct hypertension diagnosis as it affects further management in this population with increased cardiovascular risk.
