Abstract
Introduction
Among all patients with hypertension, those with resistant hypertension (RH) have the highest rates of subclinical organ damage (SOD). The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is high in RH patients, and it could contribute to SOD. We aimed to investigate how OSA and its treatment are related to SOD in a large cohort of RH patients.
Methods
This is an ancillary analysis to the SARAH study, a multicentre observational cohort aiming to evaluate the impact of OSA on RH. Individuals with RH who were undergoing a sleep study and have information on at least one of the SOD variables (vascular, cardiac or renal damage) were selected. Patients were followed-up for three years.
Results
In total, 503 subjects were included. The participants were predominantly male, obese, and the median (IQR) apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) was 15.5 (7.90–31.5) events/h. No differences in the presence of vascular or cardiac damage were observed between OSA and non-OSA patients. A lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was observed in participants with OSA than in those without OSA, with an adjusted effect of −8.69 mL/min/1.73 m2 (−13.59, −3.79; p value < 0.001). Kidney damage was also greater in subjects with OSA, with an adjusted OR (95% CI) of 1.77 (1.09, 2.87; p value = 0.02). The eGFR showed a linear dose–response relationship with OSA severity. Among patients treated with CPAP, lower eGFR values were observed in noncompliant subjects.
Conclusions
OSA could contribute to worsening renal function in patients with RH. No compliance with CPAP was associated with lower values of eGFR.
期刊介绍:
Archivos de Bronconeumologia is a scientific journal that specializes in publishing prospective original research articles focusing on various aspects of respiratory diseases, including epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical practice, surgery, and basic investigation. Additionally, the journal features other types of articles such as reviews, editorials, special articles of interest to the society and editorial board, scientific letters, letters to the editor, and clinical images. Published monthly, the journal comprises 12 regular issues along with occasional supplements containing articles from different sections.
All manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo rigorous evaluation by the editors and are subjected to expert peer review. The editorial team, led by the Editor and/or an Associate Editor, manages the peer-review process. Archivos de Bronconeumologia is published monthly in English, facilitating broad dissemination of the latest research findings in the field.
