Abstract
Background
Despite having the largest population in the world with 1.4 billion inhabitants, there is only scarce data on the prevalence of OSA from India.
Research question
This study aimed to find the prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) using Polysomnography (PSG) and current scoring rules (AASM 2012) in population and investigate OSA associations for cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities.
Study design
and Methods: Participants were randomly selected among the accompanying attendants of patients admitted to a hospital in Bhopal, India and underwent level I PSG. Anthropometric measurements, blood investigations were taken. The primary outcome was prevalence of OSA, assessed by the Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (AHI).
Results
Level I PSG was performed on 1015 adult participants from December 2019 to February 2023; after excluding 57 participants with sleep time <240 min, 958 participants (age range 18–80 years) were finally included in this study. Median (IQR) age was 40.0 years (31.0, 49.0) while median (IQR) BMI was 23.5 (20.7, 26.8) Kg/m2. Prevalence (95 % CI) of moderate-to-severe OSA (AHI ≥15) and severe OSA (AHI≥30) was 30.5 % (28–34 %) and 10.1 % (8.3–12), respectively. The upper quartile of the AHI (Q4 ≥17) was independently associated with the presence of Diabetes Mellitus [OR 2.14 (95 % CI 1.07–4.44)], Hypertension [OR1.98 (95 % CI 1.20–3.28)] and Metabolic Syndrome [OR 2.36 (95 % CI 1.37–4.09)] compared to the first quartile AHI.
Interpretation
OSA prevalence was found to be significantly higher than previously estimated in Indian population. Association of OSA with diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome was observed.
期刊介绍:
Sleep Medicine aims to be a journal no one involved in clinical sleep medicine can do without.
A journal primarily focussing on the human aspects of sleep, integrating the various disciplines that are involved in sleep medicine: neurology, clinical neurophysiology, internal medicine (particularly pulmonology and cardiology), psychology, psychiatry, sleep technology, pediatrics, neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, and dentistry.
The journal publishes the following types of articles: Reviews (also intended as a way to bridge the gap between basic sleep research and clinical relevance); Original Research Articles; Full-length articles; Brief communications; Controversies; Case reports; Letters to the Editor; Journal search and commentaries; Book reviews; Meeting announcements; Listing of relevant organisations plus web sites.
