RATIONALE: Acetazolamide and atomoxetine-plus-oxybutynin ('AtoOxy') can improve obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) by stabilising ventilatory control and improving dilator muscle responsiveness respectively. Given the different pathophysiological mechanisms targeted by each intervention, we tested whether AtoOxy-plus-acetazolamide would be more efficacious than AtoOxy alone. METHODS: In a multicentre randomised crossover trial, 19 patients with moderate-to-severe OSA received AtoOxy (80/5 mg), acetazolamide (500 mg), combined AtoOxy-plus-acetazolamide or placebo at bedtime for three nights (half doses on first night) with a 4-day washout between conditions. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and night 3 of each treatment period. Mixed model analysis compared the reduction in Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (AHI) from baseline between AtoOxy-plus-acetazolamide and AtoOxy (primary outcome). Secondary outcomes included hypoxic burden and arousal index. RESULTS: Although AtoOxy lowered AHI by 49 (33, 62)%baseline (estimate (95% CI)) vs placebo, and acetazolamide lowered AHI by+34 (14, 50)%baseline vs placebo, AtoOxy-plus-acetazolamide was not superior to AtoOxy alone (difference: -2 (-18, 11)%baseline, primary outcome p=0.8). Likewise, the hypoxic burden was lowered with AtoOxy (+58 (37, 71)%baseline) and acetazolamide (+37 (5, 58)%baseline), but no added benefit versus AtoOxy occurred when combined (difference: -13 (-5, 39)%baseline). Arousal index was also modestly reduced with each intervention (11%baseline-16%baseline). Mechanistic analyses revealed that similar traits (ie, higher baseline compensation, lower loop gain) were associated with both AtoOxy and acetazolamide efficacy. CONCLUSIONS: While AtoOxy halved AHI, and acetazolamide lowered AHI by a third, the combination of these leading experimental interventions provided no greater efficacy than AtoOxy alone. Failure of acetazolamide to further increase efficacy suggests overlapping physiological mechanisms. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03892772.

BACKGROUND: Continuation of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy after initial prescription has been shown to reduce all-cause mortality versus therapy termination. However, there is a lack of data on the rates and impact of resuming CPAP in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). This analysis determined the prevalence of CPAP resumption in the year after termination, characterised determinants of CPAP resumption, and examined the impact of CPAP resumption on all-cause mortality. METHODS: French national health insurance reimbursement system data for adults aged ≥18â years were used. CPAP prescription was identified by specific treatment codes. Patients who resumed CPAP after first therapy termination and continued to use CPAP for 1â year were matched with those who resumed CPAP then terminated therapy for a second time. RESULTS: Out of 103 091 individuals with a first CPAP termination, 26% resumed CPAP over the next 12â months, and 65% of these were still using CPAP 1â year later. Significant predictors of CPAP continuation after resumption included male sex, hypertension and CPAP prescription by a pulmonologist. In the matched population, the risk of all-cause death was 38% lower in individuals who continued using CPAP after therapy resumption versus those who had a second therapy discontinuation (hazard ratio 0.62, 95% CI 0.48-0.79; p=0.0001). CONCLUSION: These data suggest that individuals with OSA who fail initial therapy with CPAP should be offered a second trial with the device to ensure that effective therapy is not withheld from those who might benefit.

BACKGROUND: There is a close relationship between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and resistant hypertension (RH). However, studies assessing the long-term effect of diagnosing and treating OSA on blood pressure (BP) control in these patients are lacking. METHODS: To address this gap, we recruited 478 RH patients from hypertension units and followed them prospectively after they were screened for OSA through a sleep study. By performing 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) annually, the effect of OSA management was assessed. RESULTS: The patients had a median (interquartile range (IQR)) age of 64.0 (57.2-69.0)â years, 67% were males and most were nonsleepy, with a median (IQR) apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) of 15.8 (7.9-30.7)â events·h-1. The median (IQR) follow-up time was 3.01 (2.93-3.12)â years. At baseline, severe OSA was associated with uncontrolled BP, nocturnal hypertension and a nondipper circadian BP pattern. Moreover, these patients had higher BP values during follow-up than did patients in the other groups. However, among patients with moderate and severe OSA, the management of sleep disordered breathing, including the implementation of continuous positive airway pressure treatment, was associated with a reduction in 24-h ABPM parameters, especially night-time BP values, at the 1-year follow-up. These benefits were attenuated over time and only subjects with severe OSA maintained an ABPM night-time reduction at 3â years. Furthermore, clinical variables such as uncontrolled BP, sex and age showed a predictive value for the BP response at 1â year of follow-up. CONCLUSION: A favourable long-term decrease in BP was detected by diagnosing and treating OSA in a cohort of RH patients from hypertension units, but over time this decrease was only partially maintained in severe OSA patients.

BACKGROUND: Differences in the pharyngeal site of collapse influence efficacy of non-continuous positive airway pressure therapies for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Notably, complete concentric collapse at the level of the palate (CCCp) during drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is associated with reduced efficacy of hypoglossal nerve stimulation, but CCCp is currently not recognisable using polysomnography. Here we develop a means to estimate DISE-based site of collapse using overnight polysomnography. METHODS: 182 OSA patients provided DISE and polysomnography data. Six polysomnographic flow shape characteristics (mean during hypopnoeas) were identified as candidate predictors of CCCp (primary outcome variable, n=44/182), including inspiratory skewness and inspiratory scoopiness. Multivariable logistic regression combined the six characteristics to predict clear presence (n=22) versus absence (n=128) of CCCp (partial collapse and concurrent tongue base collapse excluded). Odds ratios for actual CCCp between predicted subgroups were quantified after cross-validation. Secondary analyses examined complete lateral wall, tongue base or epiglottis collapse. External validation was performed on a separate dataset (ntotal=466). RESULTS: CCCp was characterised by greater scoopiness (ß=1.5±0.6 per 2sd, multivariable estimate±se) and skewness (ß=11.4±2.4) compared with non-CCCp. The odds ratio for CCCp in predicted positive versus negative subgroups was 5.0 (95% CI 1.9-13.1). The same characteristics provided significant cross-validated prediction of lateral wall (OR 6.3, 95% CI 2.4-16.5), tongue base (OR 3.2, 95% CI 1.4-7.3) and epiglottis (OR 4.4, 95% CI 1.5-12.4) collapse. CCCp and lateral wall collapse shared similar characteristics (skewed, scoopy), diametrically opposed to tongue base and epiglottis collapse characteristics. External validation confirmed model prediction. CONCLUSIONS: The current study provides a means to recognise patients with likely CCCp or other DISE-based site of collapse categories using routine polysomnography. Since site of collapse influences therapeutic responses, polysomnographic airflow shape analysis could facilitate precision site-specific OSA interventions.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Sleep is an important component of cardiovascular (CV) health. This review summarizes the complex relationship between sleep and CV disease (CVD). Additionally, we describe the data supporting the treatment of sleep disturbances in preventing and treating CVD. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent guidelines recommend screening for obstructive sleep apnea in patients with atrial fibrillation. New data continues to demonstrate the importance of sleep quality and duration for CV health. There is a complex bidirectional relationship between sleep health and CVD. Sleep disturbances have systemic effects that contribute to the development of CVD, including hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. Additionally, CVD contributes to the development of sleep disturbances. However, more data are needed to support the role of screening for and treatment of sleep disorders for the prevention of CVD.

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to systematically evaluate the current evidence surrounding the effect of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on quality of sleep and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among patients with epilepsy. METHODS: A literature search was conducted using the Embase and MEDLINE databases. Studies were included if they involved patients with drug-resistant epilepsy treated with VNS and used validated tools to report on quality of sleep or sleep apnea. The literature search yielded 112 citations related to VNS and sleep quality, and 82 citations related to sleep apnea. Twelve articles were included in the review, of which five measured quality of sleep among patients who underwent VNS, six studies measured sleep apnea, and one study measured both outcomes. RESULTS: Studies measuring quality of sleep used different methods, including sleep quality questionnaires and the percentage of sleep in each cycle. Studies also varied in patient populations, the use of control groups, and whether multiple measurements were taken for each patient. Some studies found improved sleep quality after VNS, whereas others found reductions in deep sleep stages. Additionally, mixed results in sleep quality were found when comparing patients with epilepsy who received VNS treatment versus patients with epilepsy who did not receive VNS treatment. Variables such as VNS intensity and age could potentially confound quality of sleep. Studies measuring sleep apnea consistently found increased proportions of patients diagnosed with OSA or increased sleep index scores after VNS implantation. SIGNIFICANCE: Overall, the effect of VNS on quality of sleep remains unclear, as studies were very heterogeneous, although the effect on sleep apnea has consistently shown an increase in sleep apnea severity indices after VNS implantation. Future studies with consistent measures and discussions of confounding are required to determine the effect of VNS on quality of sleep, and the effect of VNS parameters should be further explored among patients who develop sleep apnea.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Hypoxemia is one of the most common adverse events during colonoscopy, particularly among patients who are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or are overweight. Consequently, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) ventilation for patients with high-risk hypoxemia during colonoscopy with sedation. METHODS: In this trial, 127 patients who met the eligibility criteria were randomly assigned to the BPAP oxygen group and nasal cannula (NC) group. The primary endpoint was the incidence of hypoxemia. RESULTS: Compared with the use of NC, BPAP ventilation exhibited a significant reduction in the incidence of hypoxemia, decreasing it from 23.8% to 6.3% (absolute risk difference, 17.5%; 95% conï¬dence interval, 5.4-29.6; P = .006). Importantly, BPAP ventilation prevented the occurrence of severe hypoxemia (9.5% vs 0%; absolute risk difference, 9.5%; 95% confidence interval, 2.3-16.7; P = .035). In addition, the BPAP group required fewer airway interventions (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: In individuals with OSA or overweight status, the use of BPAP ventilation during colonoscopy significantly reduced the incidence of hypoxemia.

Determining the endotypes of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has potential implications for precision interventions. Here we assessed whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment outcomes differ across endotypic subgroups. We conducted a retrospective analysis of data obtained from 225 patients with moderate-to-severe OSA from a single sleep centre. Polysomnographic and CPAP titration study data were collected between May 2020 and January 2022. One-month CPAP treatment adherence was followed. Obstructive sleep apnea endotypes, namely arousal threshold, collapsibility, loop gain, and upper airway gain were estimated from polysomnography and dichotomised as high versus low. We examined associations between endotypic subgroups and (1) optimal CPAP titration pressure, (2) CPAP-related improvements in sleep architecture (proportions of slow-wave and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep), and (3) CPAP adherence. We observed that patients with high collapsibility required a higher CPAP pressure than those with low collapsibility (∆ = 0.4 cmH2 O, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.3-1.7). A larger increase in slow-wave sleep and in REM sleep proportions after CPAP treatment were observed in patients with a high arousal threshold, high collapsibility, high loop gain, or high upper airway gain than in those with low levels of endotypes. High loop gain and high collapsibility were independently associated with longer CPAP use hours per night (∆ = 0.6 h, 95% CI = 0.2-1.5 and ∆ = 0.3 h, 95% CI = 0.03-1.5, respectively). In conclusion, different endotypic subgroups of OSA exhibit a difference in outcomes of CPAP treatment. Knowledge of endotypes may help clinicians to understand which patients are expected to benefit most from CPAP therapy prior to its administration.

There is strong evidence for clinically relevant night-to-night variability of respiratory events in patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep experts retrospectively evaluated diagnostic data in 56 patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea. Experts were blinded to the fact that they were diagnosing the same case twice, once based on a short report of a single in-laboratory respiratory polygraphy and once with the additional information of 14 nights of pulse oximetry at home. All experts (n = 22) were highly qualified, 13 experts (59.1%) treated > 100 patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea per year. In 12 patients, the apnea-hypopnea index in the respiratory polygraphy was < 5 per hr, but the mean oxygen desaturation index of 14 nights of pulse oximetry was ≥ 5 per hr. The additional information of 14 nights of pulse oximetry helped to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea with a 70% consensus in two of those patients (16.7% [95% confidence interval: 4.7/44.8]). In eight patients, experts could not agree to a 70% consensus regarding continuous positive airway pressure therapy recommendation after respiratory polygraphy. The additional information of multiple-night testing led to a consensus in three of those cases (37.5% [95% confidence interval: 14/69]). Change of obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis and continuous positive airway pressure recommendation was significantly negatively associated with the number of treated obstructive sleep apnea patients > 100 per year compared with 0-29 patients per year (Coef. [95% confidence interval] -0.63 [-1.22/-0.04] and -0.61 [-1.07/-0.15], respectively). Experts found already a high level of consensus regarding obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis, severity and continuous positive airway pressure recommendation after a single respiratory polygraphy. However, longitudinal sleep monitoring could help increase consensus in selected patients with diagnostic uncertainty.

Sleep disturbances after ischaemic stroke include alterations of sleep architecture, obstructive sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, daytime sleepiness and insomnia. Our aim was to explore their impacts on functional outcomes at month 3 after stroke, and to assess the benefit of continuous positive airway pressure in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea. Ninety patients with supra-tentorial ischaemic stroke underwent clinical screening for sleep disorders and polysomnography at day 15 ± 4 after stroke in a multisite study. Patients with severe obstructive apnea (apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 30 per hr) were randomized into two groups: continuous positive airway pressure-treated and sham (1:1 ratio). Functional independence was assessed with the Barthel Index at month 3 after stroke in function of apnea-hypopnea index severity and treatment group. Secondary objectives were disability (modified Rankin score) and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale according to apnea-hypopnea index. Sixty-one patients (71.8 years, 42.6% men) completed the study: 51 (83.6%) had obstructive apnea (21.3% severe apnea), 10 (16.7%) daytime sleepiness, 13 (24.1%) insomnia, 3 (5.7%) depression, and 20 (34.5%) restless legs syndrome. Barthel Index, modified Rankin score and Stroke Scale were similar at baseline and 3 months post-stroke in the different obstructive sleep apnea groups. Changes at 3 months in those three scores were similar in continuous positive airway pressure versus sham-continuous positive airway pressure patients. In patients with worse clinical outcomes at month 3, mean nocturnal oxygen saturation was lower whereas there was no association with apnea-hypopnea index. Poorer outcomes at 3 months were also associated with insomnia, restless legs syndrome, depressive symptoms, and decreased total sleep time and rapid eye movement sleep.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on resistant hypertension in patients at high risk with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) needs further investigation. We aimed to determine the effect of CPAP on blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension and OSA. Databases including PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, and CMB were searched. Data were pooled using a random-effects or fixed-effects model to derive weighted mean differences (WMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RECENT FINDINGS: A total of 12 trials and 718 participants were included. Compared with control, CPAP significantly reduced 24-h systolic blood pressure (SBP) (WMD: - 5.92 mmHg [ - 8.72, - 3.11]; Pï¼0.001), 24-h diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (WMD: - 4.44 mmHg [- 6.26 , - 2.62]; P ï¼0.001), daytime SBP (WMD: - 5.76 mmHg [ - 9.16, - 2.36]; P ï¼0.001), daytime DBP (WMD: - 3.92 mmHg [- 5.55, - 2.30]; nighttime SBP (WMD: - 4.87 mmHg [ - 7.96 , - 1.78]; P = 0.002), and nighttime DBP (WMD: - 2.05 mmHg [- 2.99, - 1.11]; Pï¼0.001) in patients with resistant hypertension and OSA. CPAP improved the blood pressure both in the short (ï¼3 months) and long term (≥ 3 months). No significant impact on mean heart rate was noted (WMD: -2.76 beats per min [- 7.50, 1.97]; P = 0.25). CPAP treatment was associated with BP reduction in patients with resistant hypertension and OSA.

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to various health complications, including erectile dysfunction (ED), which is more prevalent in individuals with OSA. This study explored ED in Korean OSA patients and assessed the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on ED. METHODS: A total of 87 male patients with OSA from four different sleep centers underwent physical measurements and completed sleep and mental health (MH) questionnaires, including the Korean version of the International index of erectile function (IIEF), before and three months after initiating CPAP therapy. RESULTS: After three months of CPAP therapy, the patients demonstrated a significant improvement in ED as measured on the IIEF. However, the study found no significant correlation between the duration of CPAP use and the improvement in IIEF score. It did identify the SF36 quality of life assessment as a significant factor influencing ED improvement after CPAP. CONCLUSIONS: ED is a prevalent issue that escalates with age and is associated with OSA. CPAP therapy has shown potential in alleviating ED symptoms, particularly in those with underlying psychological conditions, although further research is required to confirm these findings and understand the underlying mechanisms.

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) consists of the delivery of a constant positive pressure in the airways by means of a noninvasive interface aiming to maintain airway patency throughout the entire respiratory cycle. PEEP is increasingly used in the chronic care of children with anatomical or functional abnormalities of the upper airways to correct severe persistent obstructive sleep apnea despite optimal management which commonly includes adenotonsillectomy in young children. PEEP may be used at any age, due to improvements in equipment and interfaces. Criteria for CPAP/NIV initiation, optimal setting, follow-up and monitoring, as well as weaning criteria have been established by international experts, but validated criteria are lacking. As chronic PEEP is a highly specialised treatment, patients should be managed by an expert pediatric multidisciplinary team.

BACKGROUND: Opioid administration to patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is controversial because they are believed to be more sensitive to opioids. However, objective data on opioid effects in OSA are lacking. We tested the hypothesis that subjects with untreated OSA have increased sensitivity to opioids compared with subjects without OSA, or with OSA treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel positive airway pressure (BIPAP). METHODS: This was a single-centre, prospective cohort study in subjects without OSA (n=20), with untreated OSA (n=33), or with treated OSA (n=21). OSA diagnosis was verified using type III (in-home) polysomnography. Subjects received a stepped-dose remifentanil infusion (target effect-site concentrations of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 ng ml-1). Primary outcome was miosis (pupil area fractional change), the most sensitive opioid effect. Secondary outcomes were ventilatory rate, end-expired CO2, sedation, and thermal analgesia. RESULTS: There were no differences in miosis between untreated OSA subjects (mean=0.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.41-0.61) and subjects without OSA (mean=0.49, 95% CI 0.36-0.62) (mean difference=0.02, 95% CI -0.18 to 0.22); between treated OSA subjects (mean=0.56, 95% CI 0.43-0.68) and subjects without OSA (difference=0.07, 95% CI -0.16 to 0.29); or between untreated OSA and treated OSA (difference=-0.05, 95% CI -0.25 to 0.16). There were no significant differences between subjects without OSA, untreated OSA, and treated OSA in ventilatory rate, end-expired CO2, sedation, or thermal analgesia responses to remifentanil. There was no relationship between OSA severity and magnitude of opioid effects. CONCLUSIONS: Neither obstructive sleep apnoea nor obstructive sleep apnoea treatment affected sensitivity to the miotic, sedative, analgesic, or respiratory depressant effects of the opioid remifentanil in awake adults. These results challenge conventional notions of opioid effects in obstructive sleep apnoea. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT02898792 (clinicaltrials.gov).

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent amongst surgical patients and associated with an increased incidence of perioperative complications. The gold standard treatment for moderate-to-severe OSA is positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. Practice guidelines by the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the Society of Anesthesia and Sleep Medicine have recommended preoperative screening for OSA and consideration of initiation of PAP therapy for patients with severe OSA. These guidelines, developed mainly by the consensus of experts, highlight the adverse impact of OSA on postoperative outcomes and recommend the use of postoperative PAP in surgical patients with moderate to severe OSA. Since the development of these guidelines, there has been an increase in the number of publications regarding the efficacy of PAP therapy in surgical patients with OSA. Our review provides an update on the existing literature on the efficacy of PAP therapy in surgical patients with OSA. We focus on the postoperative complications associated with OSA, potential mechanisms leading to the increased risk of postoperative adverse events, and summarize the perioperative guidelines for the management of patients with OSA, evidence supporting perioperative PAP therapy, as well as limitations to PAP therapy and alternatives. An update on the existing literature of the efficacy of PAP therapy in surgical patients with OSA is critical to assess the impact of prior guidelines, determine when and how to effectively implement PAP therapy, and target barriers to PAP adherence in the perioperative setting.

Sleep-disordered breathing, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA), is common in severe heart failure (HF) patients. There is limited data on the effect of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) on sleep apnea. We performed a retrospective review of 350 durable LVAD patients and found 5 with a history of pre- and post-LVAD sleep studies. All five patients had OSA, and three had concomitant CSA. We observed reduced apnea-hypopnea index following LVAD placement. This was due to a near abolishment of CSA in three mixed sleep apnea patients-as seen by a central apnea index improvement from an average of 25.9 ± 13.1 to 1.4 ± 2.5 events per hour (p = 0.063). LVAD placement was associated with an increase in thermodilution cardiac output from 2.7 ± 0.6 to 4.1 ± 1.1 L/min (p = 0.014). These findings support chemoreception physiology seen in patients with poor circulation and the effect of restoring this circulation with LVAD support.

Background: Positive airway pressure (PAP) is a highly effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but adherence limits its efficacy. In addition, coverage of PAP by CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and other insurers in the United States depends on adherence. This leaves many beneficiaries without PAP, disproportionally impacting non-white and low socioeconomic position patients with OSA and exacerbating sleep health disparities. Methods: An inter-professional, multidisciplinary, international committee with various stakeholders was formed. Three working groups (the historical policy origins, impact of current policy, and international PAP coverage models) met and performed literature reviews and discussions. Using surveys and an iterative discussion-based consensus process, the policy statement recommendations were created. Results: In this position paper, we advocate for policy change to CMS PAP coverage requirements to reduce inequities and align with patient-centered goals. We specifically call for eradicating repeat polysomnography, eliminating the 4-hour rule, and focusing on patient-oriented outcomes such as improved sleepiness and sleep quality. Conclusions: Modifications to the current policies for PAP insurance coverage could improve health disparities.

Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with impaired glycemic control and a higher risk of vascular complications, such as diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, the effect of apnea-hypopnea suppression on DKD progression is unclear. Objectives: To assess the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in patients with DKD and OSA. Methods: In a 52-week, multicentric, open-label, parallel, and randomized clinical trial, 185 patients with OSA and DKD were randomized to CPAP and usual care (n = 93) or usual care alone (n = 92). Measurements and Main Results: UACR, estimated glomerular filtration rate, serum concentrations of creatinine and glycated hemoglobin, insulin resistance, lipid concentrations, sleepiness, and quality of life. A 52-week change in UACR from baseline did not differ significantly between the CPAP group and the usual-care group. However, in per-protocol analyses that included 125 participants who met prespecified criteria for adherence, CPAP treatment was associated with a great reduction in UACR (mean difference, -10.56% [95% confidence interval, -19.06 to -2.06]; P = 0.015). CPAP effect on UACR was higher in nonsleepy patients with more severe OSA, worse renal function, and a more recent diagnosis of DKD. CPAP treatment also improved glycemic control and insulin resistance, as well as sleepiness and health-related quality of life. Conclusions: In patients with OSA and DKD, the prescription of CPAP did not result in a statistically significant reduction in albuminuria. However, good adherence to CPAP treatment in addition to usual care may result in long-term albuminuria reduction compared with usual care alone. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02816762).

BACKGROUND: The influence of sleep disorders on metabolism, especially concerning obesity and diabetes, as well as obesity and obstructive sleep apnea, has been widely investigated. However, the effect of nutrition and the intake of certain foods on sleep has only recently gained attention. In recent years, there have been publications on intake of certain foods and certain diets regarding their influence on sleep, as well as activity of adipocytes and their effect on production of sleep hormones. METHODS: Following PRISMA guidelines, we performed a PubMed search using the key words "sleep," "sleep disorders," "nutrition," "food," and "food intake" published from 2012 to 2022. We excluded by consensus all articles with diets and exercise programs or bariatric surgery for weight loss to treat sleep apnea, all articles on connections between sleep disorders and metabolic disorders, and articles concerning the influence of drugs on neuroactive substances. RESULTS: Of the 4155 publications revealed, 988 had nutrition, metabolism, and sleep as the primary topic of research. Of these 988 publications, only 26 fulfilled the content requirements concerning the influence of certain food and diets on sleep or sleep disorders, including the influence of the gastrointestinal system and adipocytes on sleep hormones. None of the investigations revealed clear evidence of an effect of a certain diet or food on sleep. Epidemiologic surveys suggest that shortened or fragmented sleep and chronotype in adults influence nutrition and fat metabolism. Additionally, there is evidence that adipocyte signaling influences neuronal mediators and hormones of the sleep-wake cycle. CONCLUSION: There is no evidence of a direct influence of certain nutrition or food intake on sleep. Obesity via adipocyte signaling may influence the sleep-wake cycle, though the molecular research on this topic is based on animal studies.
