ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) may be associated with a worse prognosis in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, the prevalence of sleep disorders in IPF and the pathophysiological link between SRBD and IPF is unclear. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
In this prospective trial, consecutive patients with stable IPF underwent polysomnography and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Epworth sleepiness scale, Regensburg insomnia scale, and Pittsburgh sleep quality index were evaluated. Exclusion criteria were oxygen supplementation therapy, lung emphysema, and heart failure. For pairwise comparison of categorical data, the two-proportion z-test was applied. Correlation between continuous variables was assessed via the Pearson correlation coefficient. Patients without and with SRBD were compared. To find predictors for SRBD in IPF, multivariable logistic regression was applied.RESULTS:
A total of 74 IPF patients were evaluated and 45 patients (11 female, median age 74 years, forced vital capacity 71.3%, DLCO 53.9%) were analyzed. Any kind of sleep disorder was found in 89% of patients. SRBD was present in 49% (81% obstructive sleep apnea, 19% central sleep apnea), insomnia in 40%, and periodic leg movements in 47% of subjects. The SRBD subgroup presented with a significantly lower performance (workload(peak)%pred 86.5 vs. 101.0 (p = 0.036); V'O2(AT) 618.5 ml/min vs. 774.0 ml/min (p = 0.043)) and exhibited a significantly higher V'E/V'CO2(peak) of 43.0 l/l vs. 38.5 l/l (p = 0.037). In search of predictors for SRBD by logistic regression, workload(peak)%pred was identified as a significant variable (p = 0.033).CONCLUSIONS:
SRBD is frequent in IPF. Pulmonary vascular limitations may represent the pathophysiological link between IPF and SRBD. Workload(peak)%pred may be an independent risk factor for the occurrence of SRBD.Palabras clave
