Abstract
Introduction: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), especially obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is commonly associated with respiratory diseases, such as COPD, asthma and interstitial lung disease.
Areas covered: This narrative review aims to comprehensively synthesize the existing information on SDB in respiratory diseases, investigate the role of gender in this association, and highlight the importance of OSA management in improving sleep, quality of life, and disease prognosis in these specific patient populations.
Expert opinion: Research indicates a synergistic link between OSA and chronic respiratory diseases, which leads to greater morbidity and mortality compared to each disorder alone. Given the lack of an optimal OSA screening tool for these patients, a comprehensive patient approach and overnight diagnostic sleep study are imperative. Despite the limited evidence available, it seems that gender has an impact on the prevalence, severity, and susceptibility of this coexistence. Recognizing the role of gender in the coexistence of OSA and other respiratory diseases can enhance everyday medical practice and enable clinicians to adopt a more personalized approach toward optimal screening and diagnosis of these patients.
简介:睡眠呼吸障碍(SDB),尤其是阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA),通常与慢性阻塞性肺疾病、哮喘和间质性肺疾病等呼吸系统疾病有关:这篇叙述性综述旨在全面综合呼吸系统疾病中 SDB 的现有信息,研究性别在这一关联中的作用,并强调 OSA 管理在改善这些特定患者群体的睡眠、生活质量和疾病预后方面的重要性:研究表明,OSA 与慢性呼吸系统疾病之间存在协同作用,与单独治疗两种疾病相比,OSA 会导致更高的发病率和死亡率。由于缺乏针对这些患者的最佳 OSA 筛查工具,因此必须对患者进行全面的检查和通宵睡眠诊断研究。尽管现有证据有限,但性别似乎对这种并存疾病的患病率、严重程度和易感性都有影响。认识到性别在 OSA 和其他呼吸系统疾病并存中的作用,可以提高日常医疗实践水平,使临床医生能够采用更加个性化的方法对这些患者进行最佳筛查和诊断。
