RESUMO

Chronotype is linked to adverse health measures and may have important associations with obstructive sleep apnea and blood pressure, but data are limited. This study aimed to determine the separate and combined associations of chronotype with obstructive sleep apnea and blood pressure in a middle-aged community population. Adults (n = 811) from the Raine Study (female = 59.2%; age mean [range] = 56.6 [42.1-76.6] years) were assessed for chronotype (Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire), blood pressure and hypertension (doctor diagnosed or systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic ≥ 90 mmHg), and obstructive sleep apnea at different in-laboratory apnea-hypopnea index thresholds (5, 10, 15 events per hr). Linear and logistic regression models examined relationships between chronotype and the presence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea, blood pressure, hypertension, and blood pressure stratified by obstructive sleep apnea severity at above-mentioned apnea-hypopnea index thresholds. Covariates included age, sex, body mass index, alcohol consumption, smoking, physical activity, sleep duration, anti-hypertensive medication, insomnia, and depressive symptoms. Most participants were categorised as morning (40%) or intermediate (43%), with 17% meeting criteria for evening chronotypes. Participants with apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 15 events per hr and morning chronotype had higher systolic (9.9 mmHg, p < 0.001) and a trend for higher diastolic blood pressure (3.4 mmHg, p = 0.07) compared with those with an evening chronotype, and higher systolic blood pressure compared with those with an intermediate chronotype (4.8 mmHg, p = 0.03). Across chronotype categories, no differences in systolic or diastolic blood pressure or odds of hypertension were found at apnea-hypopnea index thresholds of ≥ 5 or ≥ 10 events per hr. Among participants with apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 15 events per hr, systolic blood pressure is higher in those with a morning chronotype than evening and intermediate chronotypes. Assessment for morning chronotype may improve risk stratification for hypertension in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

RESUMO

Social jetlag is the discrepancy between socially determined sleep timing on workdays and biologically determined sleep timing on days free of social obligation. Poor circadian timing of sleep may worsen sleep quality and increase daytime sleepiness in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We analysed de-identified data from 2,061 participants (75.2% male, mean [SD] age 48.6 [13.4] years) who completed Sleep Apnea Global Interdisciplinary Consortium (SAGIC) research questionnaires and underwent polysomnography at 11 international sleep clinic sites. Social jetlag was calculated as the absolute difference in the midpoints of sleep between weekdays and weekends. Daytime sleepiness was assessed using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Linear regression analyses were performed to estimate the association between social jetlag and daytime sleepiness, with consideration of age, sex, body mass index, ethnicity, insomnia, alcohol consumption, and habitual sleep duration as confounders. Of the participants, 61.5% had <1 h of social jetlag, 27.5% had 1 to <2 h, and 11.1% had ≥2 h. Compared to those with <1 h of social jetlag, those with ≥2 h of social jetlag had 2.07 points higher ESS (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.77-3.38, p = 0.002), and those with 1 to <2 h of social jetlag had 0.80 points higher ESS (95% CI 0.04-1.55, p = 0.04) after adjustment for potential confounding. Interaction with OSA severity was observed; social jetlag appeared to have the greatest effect on daytime sleepiness in mild OSA. As social jetlag exacerbates daytime sleepiness in OSA, improving sleep timing may be a simple but novel therapeutic target for reducing the impact of OSA.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Sleep apnoea, a common sleep-disordered breathing condition, is characterised by upper airway collapse during sleep resulting in transient hypoxia, hypoperfusion of the optic nerve, and spike in intracranial pressure. Previous studies have reported conflicting findings on the association of sleep apnoea with glaucoma, and there are limited reports on the link between sleep apnoea and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS: Middle-aged and older participants from the longitudinal United Kingdom (UK) Biobank (n = 502,505) and the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA; n = 24,073) were included in this analysis. Participants in the UK Biobank and the CLSA were followed for 8 and 3 years, respectively. Participants with diagnosed glaucoma or AMD at baseline were excluded from the analysis. In the UK Biobank, sleep apnoea and incident cases of glaucoma and AMD were identified through hospital inpatient admission, primary care records, and self-reported data. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to explore associations of sleep apnoea with incidence of glaucoma or AMD. RESULTS: During the 8-year follow-up in the UK Biobank, glaucoma incidence rates per 1000 person-years were 2.46 and 1.59 for participants with and without sleep apnoea, and the AMD incidence rates per 1000 person-years were 2.27 and 1.42 for participants with and without sleep apnoea, respectively. Multivariable adjusted hazard ratios of glaucoma and AMD risk for sleep apnoea were 1.33 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.10-1.60, P = 0.003) and 1.39 (95% CI 1.15-1.68, P <  0.001) relative to participants without sleep apnoea. In the CLSA cohort, disease information was collected through in-person interview questionnaires. During the 3-year follow-up, glaucoma incidence rates per 1000 person-years for those with and without sleep apnoea were 9.31 and 6.97, and the AMD incidence rates per 1000 person-years were 8.44 and 6.67, respectively. In the CLSA, similar associations were identified, with glaucoma and AMD odds ratios of 1.43 (95% CI 1.13-1.79) and 1.39 (95% CI 1.08-1.77), respectively, in participants with sleep apnoea compared to those without sleep apnoea (both P <  0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In two large-scale prospective cohort studies, sleep apnoea is associated with a higher risk of both glaucoma and AMD. These findings indicate that patients with sleep apnoea might benefit from regular ophthalmologic examinations.

RESUMO

This study examined the nature and characteristics of sleep-disordered breathing, including obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea, in patients with post-stroke dysphagia, to determine the demographic, anthropometric and clinical variables that were associated with sleep-disordered breathing. Thirty-nine patients diagnosed with acute stroke (28 males and 11 females with a mean age of 72.3 ± 10.0 years) underwent overnight polysomnography (within 3.9 ± 1.6 days after admission). Sleep-disordered breathing was described by the apnea-hypopnea index and its obstructive and central components by the obstructive apnea-hypopnea index and central apnea-hypopnea index, respectively. Severity of dysphagia was assessed using the Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability score. Severity of stroke and functional dependence were assessed by the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale and the modified Barthel index, respectively. Most of the cohort (87%) had moderate-to-severe dysphagia (Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability of 143.2 ± 19.9). Sleep-disordered breathing (apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 5 events/hr) was present in 38 participants (97%) with a mean apnea-hypopnea index of 37.5 ± 24.4 events/hr. Sleep-disordered breathing was predominantly obstructive in nature, with a mean obstructive apnea-hypopnea index and central apnea-hypopnea index of 19.6 ± 15.7 and 11.4 ± 17.6 events/hr, respectively. Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that the apnea-hypopnea index was associated with sex (p = .0001), body mass index (p = .029) and the modified Barthel index (p = .006); the obstructive apnea-hypopnea index was associated with the Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability (p = .006), sex (p = .004) and body mass index (p = .015) and had a nonlinear relationship with the modified Barthel index (p = .019); and the central apnea-hypopnea index was associated with sex (p = .027) and the modified Barthel index (p = .019). The present study showed that dysphagia severity was associated with obstructive sleep apnea severity and this association was independent of sex, modified Barthel index and body mass index. However, stroke-induced dysphagia was not associated with central sleep apnea or overall sleep-disordered breathing.

RESUMO

The use of adaptive servo ventilation to treat central sleep apnea in the clinical setting is incompletely understood and could be under-utilized. We reviewed our experience of adaptive servo ventilation use in patients with central sleep apnea. This study shows the effectiveness of adaptive servo ventilation in treating patients with central sleep apnea, irrespective of a predisposing factor, as assessed during a 4-week treatment trial. Results show that adaptive servo ventilation was effective and superior to continuous positive airway pressure in controlling central sleep apnea and improving symptoms. Only a small proportion of these patients had comorbid heart failure. Early treatment with adaptive servo ventilation may improve long-term adherence to therapy. These findings highlight the utility of adaptive servo ventilation in the management of central sleep apnea.

RESUMO

Importance: Many adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) use device treatments inadequately and remain untreated. Objective: To determine whether combined palatal and tongue surgery to enlarge or stabilize the upper airway is an effective treatment for patients with OSA when conventional device treatment failed. Design, Setting, and Participants: Multicenter, parallel-group, open-label randomized clinical trial of upper airway surgery vs ongoing medical management. Adults with symptomatic moderate or severe OSA in whom conventional treatments had failed were enrolled between November 2014 and October 2017, with follow-up until August 2018. Interventions: Multilevel surgery (modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty and minimally invasive tongue volume reduction; n = 51) or ongoing medical management (eg, advice on sleep positioning, weight loss; n = 51). Main Outcomes and Measures: Primary outcome measures were the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI; ie, the number of apnea and hypopnea events/h; 15-30 indicates moderate and >30 indicates severe OSA) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS; range, 0-24; >10 indicates pathological sleepiness). Baseline-adjusted differences between groups at 6 months were assessed. Minimal clinically important differences are 15 events per hour for AHI and 2 units for ESS. Results: Among 102 participants who were randomized (mean [SD] age, 44.6 [12.8] years; 18 [18%] women), 91 (89%) completed the trial. The mean AHI was 47.9 at baseline and 20.8 at 6 months for the surgery group and 45.3 at baseline and 34.5 at 6 months for the medical management group (mean baseline-adjusted between-group difference at 6 mo, -17.6 events/h [95% CI, -26.8 to -8.4]; P < .001). The mean ESS was 12.4 at baseline and 5.3 at 6 months in the surgery group and 11.1 at baseline and 10.5 at 6 months in the medical management group (mean baseline-adjusted between-group difference at 6 mo, -6.7 [95% CI, -8.2 to -5.2]; P < .001). Two participants (4%) in the surgery group had serious adverse events (1 had a myocardial infarction on postoperative day 5 and 1 was hospitalized for observation following hematemesis of old blood). Conclusions and Relevance: In this preliminary study of adults with moderate or severe OSA in whom conventional therapy had failed, combined palatal and tongue surgery, compared with medical management, reduced the number of apnea and hypopnea events and patient-reported sleepiness at 6 months. Further research is needed to confirm these findings in additional populations and to understand clinical utility, long-term efficacy, and safety of multilevel upper airway surgery for treatment of patients with OSA.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events; whether treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) prevents major cardiovascular events is uncertain. METHODS: After a 1-week run-in period during which the participants used sham CPAP, we randomly assigned 2717 eligible adults between 45 and 75 years of age who had moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea and coronary or cerebrovascular disease to receive CPAP treatment plus usual care (CPAP group) or usual care alone (usual-care group). The primary composite end point was death from cardiovascular causes, myocardial infarction, stroke, or hospitalization for unstable angina, heart failure, or transient ischemic attack. Secondary end points included other cardiovascular outcomes, health-related quality of life, snoring symptoms, daytime sleepiness, and mood. RESULTS: Most of the participants were men who had moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea and minimal sleepiness. In the CPAP group, the mean duration of adherence to CPAP therapy was 3.3 hours per night, and the mean apnea-hypopnea index (the number of apnea or hypopnea events per hour of recording) decreased from 29.0 events per hour at baseline to 3.7 events per hour during follow-up. After a mean follow-up of 3.7 years, a primary end-point event had occurred in 229 participants in the CPAP group (17.0%) and in 207 participants in the usual-care group (15.4%) (hazard ratio with CPAP, 1.10; 95% confidence interval, 0.91 to 1.32; P=0.34). No significant effect on any individual or other composite cardiovascular end point was observed. CPAP significantly reduced snoring and daytime sleepiness and improved health-related quality of life and mood. CONCLUSIONS: Therapy with CPAP plus usual care, as compared with usual care alone, did not prevent cardiovascular events in patients with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea and established cardiovascular disease.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to increased glaucoma risk in middle-aged and older adults. However, little is known about associations between OSA and glaucoma-related optic disc parameters in young adults. We explored associations between overnight polysomnography-derived measures of OSA and the optic disc in young adults. DESIGN: Cross-sectional cohort study. PARTICIPANTS: Eight hundred forty-eight adults 19 to 22 years of age. METHODS: Participants underwent an ophthalmic examination that included OCT imaging of the optic disc and measurements of intraocular pressure, axial length, and refractive error. Participants then underwent an overnight polysomnography study that obtained measurements of apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), peripheral oxygen saturation level, and number of cortical arousals from sleep. Based on the AHI results, participants were grouped into no OSA (AHI < 5 events/hour), mild OSA (AHI ≥ 5 and <15 events/hour), moderate OSA (AHI ≥ 15 and <30 events/hour), or severe OSA (AHI ≥ 30 events/hour). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Neuroretinal rim area, horizontal and vertical widths, and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. RESULTS: The median AHI result across the study cohort was 2.2 events per hour (interquartile range, 1.0-4.4 events/hour). Based on the AHI results, 178 participants (21.0%) demonstrated OSA: 150 with mild OSA, 26 with moderate OSA, and 2 with severe OSA. In the unadjusted analyses, participants with OSA on average showed thinner peripapillary RNFL at the inferotemporal (P = 0.026) and superotemporal (P = 0.008) segments compared with those without OSA. Additionally, higher AHI results were associated with thinner RNFL superotemporally (P = 0.007). These findings remained significant after adjusting for gender, body mass index, ethnicity, and potential ocular confounders. There were no significant differences in optic disc measures between groups of OSA severity. CONCLUSIONS: Obstructive sleep apnea may be associated with preclinical thinning of the peripapillary RNFL in young adults. This suggests that an increased glaucoma risk already may be present in individuals with OSA since young adulthood. Long-term follow-up of this cohort will allow further optic disc changes in relationship to polysomnography parameters to be documented and associations with future glaucoma diagnosis to be explored.

RESUMO

Restless legs syndrome has been associated with serum iron deficiency in clinical studies. However, studies investigating this relationship have had inconsistent results and there are no studies in young adults. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between serum measures of iron stores and restless legs syndrome in young adults in the community. Participants in the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study answered questions on restless legs syndrome (n = 1,100, 54% female) at age 22 years, and provided serum measures of iron stores (ferritin and transferrin saturation) at ages 17 and 22 years. Restless legs syndrome was diagnosed when four International RLS Study Group criteria were met (urge to move, dysaesthesia, relief by movement, worsening during evening/night) and these symptoms occurred ≥5 times per month. Logistic regression was used to assess associations between serum iron stores and restless legs syndrome, adjusting for potential confounders. The prevalence of restless legs syndrome at age 22 years was 3.0% (n = 33, 70% female). Among those who provided restless legs syndrome and iron data at age 22 years (n = 865), the median (interquartile range) ferritin was not different between the restless legs syndrome (55 [29.5-103.5] µg L-1 ) and the non-restless legs syndrome group (65.0 [35.0-103.3] µg L-1 , p = 0.2), nor were there differences in iron deficiency prevalence (p = 0.36). There was no association between restless legs syndrome (22 years) and iron stores (17, 22 years) before or after adjustment for potential confounders. There was no association between restless legs syndrome at 22 years and iron stores at 17 or 22 years in this cohort. Serum iron stores may not be a useful indicator of restless legs syndrome risk in young adults in the community.

RESUMO

Early in the history of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for disorders of hypoventilation, treatment was provided by volume-limited (VL) devices. Currently, NIV is commonly provided by pressure-limited (PL) devices because of greater portability, lower cost and studies showing increased patient comfort. There are now volume-targeted (VT) devices, which aim to combine the advantages of more stable ventilation associated with VL and greater comfort of PL mode. VT devices automatically adjust pressure support, within a defined range, to target a preset level of ventilation. This review focuses on current evidence, as provided by clinical randomized controlled trial (RCT) data, for the effectiveness of VT devices. The RCT data have significant methodological limitations, including lack of study blinding, recruitment of patients who are not naïve to NIV and failure to optimize PL settings with recent polysomnography (PSG) titration. However, the data broadly show that VT has similar short-term clinical outcomes to standard PL mode with regard to measures of nocturnal and daytime ventilation and sleep quality. The literature has not clearly identified if there are subgroups that benefit from VT. Recently, automatic expiratory positive airway pressure (AutoEPAP) algorithms, which aim to automatically control the upper airway during sleep, have been added to VT devices which may obviate the need for PSG to manually titrate EPAP. VT mode has the potential to reduce reliance on PSG and so save on healthcare costs; however, to date, a clear benefit of VT over PL NIV has not been demonstrated.
