Abstract
Objective: Evaluate the relationship between OSAS and floppy eyelid syndrome [FES], along with possible confounding factors such as gender, age, and BMI.
Methods: This was a multicenter, cross-sectional prospective study. Patients referred to the sleep clinic suspected of OSAS were included in the study. Polysomnography, ophthalmological examination, and standard sleep questionnaires were applied for all patients.
Results: A total of 617 patients, 68.4% of whom were men, with a mean age of 50.66 [±12.43] years were included. While FES was 70.2% in the group with OSAS for ≥5/h, OSAS was detected in 93.6% of the individuals with FES. In addition, a positive correlation was found between AHI and FES. Age and the male gender were independent risk factors for FES.
Conclusion: A direct relationship was found between FES and the severity of AHI and OSAS. However, there was no evidence that OSAS is an independent risk factor for FES.
