Exhaled breath contains valuable information at the molecular level and offers promising potential for precision medicine. However, few breath tests transition to routine clinical practice, partly because of the missing validation in multicenter trials. Therefore, we developed and applied an interoperability framework for standardized multicenter data acquisition and processing for breath analysis with secondary electrospray ionization-high resolution mass spectrometry.

The direct pathophysiological effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have been well described. However, the systemic and metabolic consequences of OSA are less well understood.
