Detection and severity assessment of obstructive sleep apnea according to deep learning of single-lead electrocardiogram signals. J Sleep Res 2024:e14285. [PMID: 39021352 DOI: 10.1111/jsr.14285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
Developing a convenient detection method is important for diagnosing and treating obstructive sleep apnea. Considering availability and medical reliability, we established a deep-learning model that uses single-lead electrocardiogram signals for obstructive sleep apnea detection and severity assessment. The detection model consisted of signal preprocessing, feature extraction, time-frequency domain information fusion, and classification segments. A total of 375 patients who underwent polysomnography were included. The single-lead electrocardiogram signals obtained by polysomnography were used to train, validate and test the model. Moreover, the proposed model performance on a public dataset was compared with the findings of previous studies. In the test set, the accuracy of per-segment and per-recording detection were 82.55% and 85.33%, respectively. The accuracy values for mild, moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea were 69.33%, 74.67% and 85.33%, respectively. In the public dataset, the accuracy of per-segment detection was 91.66%. A Bland-Altman plot revealed the consistency of true apnea-hypopnea index and predicted apnea-hypopnea index. We confirmed the feasibility of single-lead electrocardiogram signals and deep-learning model for obstructive sleep apnea detection and severity evaluation in both hospital and public datasets. The detection performance is high for patients with obstructive sleep apnea, especially those with severe obstructive sleep apnea.

Li A, Zhang Q, Yao Y, Zhu X, Liu C, Guo Y, Kan H, Chen R. Higher ambient temperatures may worsen obstructive sleep apnea: A nationwide smartwatch-based analysis of 6.2 million person-days. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2024; 69:2114-2121. [PMID: 38821748 DOI: 10.1016/j.scib.2024.05.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious type of sleep disorder that can lead to cardiometabolic and neurocognitive diseases. We utilized smart device-based photoplethysmography technology to collect sleep data from the Chinese population from 2019 to 2022. Distributed lag nonlinear models combined with a generalized nonlinear model or a linear mixed effects model were used to investigate the short-term associations between daily temperature and indicators of OSA severity. We included a total of 6,232,056 d of sleep monitoring data from 51,842 participants with moderate to severe risk of OSA from 313 Chinese cities. The relationships between ambient temperature and OSA exacerbation, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and minimum oxygen saturation (MinSpO2) were almost linear and present only on the same day. Higher temperatures were associated with a greater risk of OSA exacerbation, with an 8.4% (95% confidence interval (CI): 7.6%-9.3%) increase per 10 °C increase in temperature. A 10 °C increase in daily temperature corresponded to an AHI increase of 0.70 events/h (95% CI: 0.65-0.76) and a MinSpO2 decrease of 0.18% (95% CI: 0.16%-0.19%). Exposure to elevated temperatures during the night can also lead to adverse effects. The effects of higher temperatures on OSA severity were stronger among men, participants with a body mass index ≥ 24 kg/m2, those aged 45 years and older, individuals with a history of hypertension and diabetes, and during the cold season. This large-scale, nationwide, longitudinal study provides robust evidence suggesting that higher ambient temperatures may immediately worsen OSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep disturbances have been shown to result in considerable morbidity and mortality. It is important for dental clinicians to understand the neuroscience behind sleep disorders. TYPES OF STUDIES REVIEWED The authors conducted a search of the literature published from January 1990 through March 2024 of sleep medicine-related articles, with a focus on neuroscience. The authors prioritized articles about the science of sleep as related to dental medicine. RESULTS The authors found a proliferation of articles related to sleep neuroscience along with its implications in dental medicine. The authors also found that the intricate neuroscientific principles of sleep medicine are being investigated robustly. The salient features of, and the differences between, central and obstructive sleep apneas have been elucidated. Sleep genes, such as CRY, PER1, PER2, and CLOCK, and their relationship to cancer and neurodegeneration are also additions to this rapidly developing science. CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS The dental clinician has the potential to be the first to screen patients for possible sleep disorders and make prompt referrals to the appropriate medical professionals. This can be lifesaving as well as minimize potential future morbidity for the patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous risk factors in paediatric narcolepsy may predispose them to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The concurrent presence of OSA in these patients might lead to underdiagnosing narcolepsy. This research investigates the prevalence and potential causality between OSA and paediatric narcolepsy. METHODS A case-control study coupled with a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was employed to explore the prevalence and causal link between paediatric narcolepsy and OSA risk. RESULTS The case-control study revealed that paediatric narcolepsy patients are at an increased risk of OSA, with an Odds ratio (OR) of 4.87 (95% CI: 2.20-10.71; P < 0.001). The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) model further suggests a potential causal link between narcolepsy and OSA (IVW OR: 4.671, 95% CI: 1.925-11.290; P < 0.001). Additionally, sensitivity analysis confirmed these findings' reliability. CONCLUSION The findings highlight an elevated prevalence and genetic susceptibility to OSA among paediatric narcolepsy patients, underscoring the necessity for clinical screening of OSA. Continued research is essential to clarify the pathogenic mechanisms and develop potential treatments.

Abstract
Aim: Salusin-α and salusin-β peptides are crucial in the development of cardiovascular diseases like coronary artery disease (CAD). This study compared serum levels of these peptides in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), those with both OSA and CAD. Materials & methods: Patients without OSA were included in Group 1, those with OSA alone comprised Group 2, and those with OSA and CAD were in Group 3. Results: Salusin-α level was significantly higher in controls than in Groups 2 and 3, while salusin-β levels were significantly higher in Groups 2 and 3 compared with the control group. Conclusion: Salusin-α and -β levels may be parameters that can guide the diagnosis of OSA in patients with a consistent clinical history.

Abstract
This study aimed to verify the effect of 12 weeks of HIIT on the perceived sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). For this, a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial, including 36 adults with moderate-severe OSA (19 males; 52.2 ± 9.8 years; body mass index = 34.2 ± 5.8; AHI = 42.0 ± 22.9 e/h) was performed. Participants were randomly assigned to HIIT [5 periods of 4 min of walking or running on a treadmill at 90-95 % of maximum heart rate (HRmax) interspersed with 3 min of walking at 50-55 % of HRmax performed three times per week for 12 weeks] or a control group (CG; stretching exercises performed two times per week for 12 weeks). Specific domains of subjective sleep quality and EDS were assessed at baseline and post 12 weeks. Generalized estimated equation were used to verify between groups and times differences. There were no group × time interactions for the domains sleep duration (0.416), sleep efficiency (0.198), sleep disturbance (0.523), and sleep medications (0.915). However, significant group × time interactions were observed for global sleep score (0.022), and for the domains sleep quality (0.001), sleep latency (0.029), and daytime dysfunction (0.012). In addition, there was a significant group × time interaction for EDS (HIIT = -3.4 ± 0.9; CG change = -1.0 ± 1.0; p = 0.023). Thus, in patients with OSA, 12 weeks of HIIT improves perceived sleep quality and daytime sleepiness.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a common sleep-disordered breathing condition, is characterized by intermittent hypoxia (IH) and sleep fragmentation and has been implicated in the pathogenesis and severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Abnormal molecular changes mediated by IH, such as high expression of hypoxia-inducible factors, are reportedly involved in abnormal pathophysiological states, including insulin resistance, abnormal lipid metabolism, cell death, and inflammation, which mediate the development of NAFLD. However, the relationship between IH and NAFLD remains to be fully elucidated. In this review, we discuss the clinical correlation between OSA and NAFLD, focusing on the molecular mechanisms of IH in NAFLD progression. We meticulously summarize clinical studies evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure treatment for NAFLD in OSA. Additionally, we compile potential molecular biomarkers for the co-occurrence of OSA and NAFLD. Finally, we discuss the current research progress and challenges in the field of OSA and NAFLD and propose future directions and prospects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep apnea syndrome, characterized by recurrent cessation (apnea) or reduction (hypopnea) of breathing during sleep, is a major risk factor for postoperative respiratory depression. Challenges in sleep apnea assessment have led to the proposal of alternative metrics derived from oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2), such as oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and percentage of cumulative sleep time spent with SpO2 below 90% (CT90), as predictors of postoperative respiratory depression. However, their performance has been limited with area under the curve of 0.60 for ODI and 0.59 for CT90. Our objective was to propose novel features from preoperative overnight SpO2 which are correlated with sleep apnea severity and predictive of postoperative respiratory depression. METHODS Preoperative SpO2 signals from 235 surgical patients were retrospectively analyzed to derive seven features to characterize the sleep apnea severity. The features included entropy and standard deviation of SpO2 signal; below average burden characterizing the area under the average SpO2; average, standard deviation, and entropy of desaturation burdens; and overall nocturnal desaturation burden. The association between the extracted features and sleep apnea severity was assessed using Pearson correlation analysis. Logistic regression was employed to evaluate the predictive performance of the features in identifying postoperative respiratory depression. RESULTS Our findings indicated a similar performance of the proposed features to the conventional apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) for assessing sleep apnea severity, with average area under the curve ranging from 0.77 to 0.81. Notably, entropy and standard deviation of overnight SpO2 signal and below average burden showed comparable predictive capability to AHI but with minimal computational requirements and individuals' burden, making them promising for screening purposes. Our sex-based analysis revealed that compared to entropy and standard deviation, below average burden exhibited higher sensitivity in detecting respiratory depression in women than men. CONCLUSION This study underscores the potential of preoperative SpO2 features as alternative metrics to AHI in predicting postoperative respiratory.

Abstract
The aim of this meta-meta-analysis was to systematically review randomised controlled trial (RCT) evidence examining the effectiveness of e- and m-Health interventions designed to improve physical activity, sedentary behaviour, healthy eating and sleep. Nine electronic databases were searched for eligible studies published from inception to 1 June 2023. Systematic reviews with meta-analyses of RCTs that evaluate e- and m-Health interventions designed to improve physical activity, sedentary behaviour, sleep and healthy eating in any adult population were included. Forty-seven meta-analyses were included, comprising of 507 RCTs and 206,873 participants. Interventions involved mobile apps, web-based and SMS interventions, with 14 focused on physical activity, 3 for diet, 4 for sleep and 26 evaluating multiple behaviours. Meta-meta-analyses showed that e- and m-Health interventions resulted in improvements in steps/day (mean difference, MD = 1329 [95% CI = 593.9, 2065.7] steps/day), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MD = 55.1 [95% CI = 13.8, 96.4] min/week), total physical activity (MD = 44.8 [95% CI = 21.6, 67.9] min/week), sedentary behaviour (MD = -426.3 [95% CI = -850.2, -2.3] min/week), fruit and vegetable consumption (MD = 0.57 [95% CI = 0.11, 1.02] servings/day), energy intake (MD = -102.9 kcals/day), saturated fat consumption (MD = -5.5 grams/day), and bodyweight (MD = -1.89 [95% CI = -2.42, -1.36] kg). Analyses based on standardised mean differences (SMD) showed improvements in sleep quality (SMD = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.40, 0.72) and insomnia severity (SMD = -0.90, 95% CI = -1.14, -0.65). Most subgroup analyses were not significant, suggesting that a variety of e- and m-Health interventions are effective across diverse age and health populations. These interventions offer scalable and accessible approaches to help individuals adopt and sustain healthier behaviours, with implications for broader public health and healthcare challenges.

Abstract
Down syndrome is the most frequently occurring genetic condition, with a substantial escalation in risk associated with advanced maternal age. The syndrome is characterized by a diverse range of phenotypes, affecting to some extent all levels of organization, and its progeroid nature - early manifestation of aspects of the senile phenotype. Despite extensive investigations, many aspects and mechanisms of the disease remain unexplored. The current review aims to provide an overview of the main causes and manifestations of Down syndrome, while also examining the phenomenon of accelerated aging and exploring potential therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Circadian rhythm disruptions are a common concern for poststroke patients undergoing rehabilitation and might negatively impact their functional outcomes. OBJECTIVE Our research aimed to uncover unique patterns and disruptions specific to poststroke rehabilitation patients and identify potential differences in specific rest-activity rhythm indicators when compared to inpatient controls with non-brain-related lesions, such as patients with spinal cord injuries. METHODS We obtained a 7-day recording with a wearable actigraphy device from 25 poststroke patients (n=9, 36% women; median age 56, IQR 46-71) and 25 age- and gender-matched inpatient control participants (n=15, 60% women; median age 57, IQR 46.5-68.5). To assess circadian rhythm, we used a nonparametric method to calculate key rest-activity rhythm indicators-relative amplitude, interdaily stability, and intradaily variability. Relative amplitude, quantifying rest-activity rhythm amplitude while considering daily variations and unbalanced amplitudes, was calculated as the ratio of the difference between the most active 10 continuous hours and the least active 5 continuous hours to the sum of these 10 and 5 continuous hours. We also examined the clinical correlations between rest-activity rhythm indicators and delirium screening tools, such as the 4 A's Test and the Barthel Index, which assess delirium and activities of daily living. RESULTS Patients who had a stroke had higher least active 5-hour values compared to the control group (median 4.29, IQR 2.88-6.49 vs median 1.84, IQR 0.67-4.34; P=.008). The most active 10-hour values showed no significant differences between the groups (stroke group: median 38.92, IQR 14.60-40.87; control group: median 31.18, IQR 18.02-46.84; P=.93). The stroke group presented a lower relative amplitude compared to the control group (median 0.74, IQR 0.57-0.85 vs median 0.88, IQR 0.71-0.96; P=.009). Further analysis revealed no significant differences in other rest-activity rhythm metrics between the two groups. Among the patients who had a stroke, a negative correlation was observed between the 4 A's Test scores and relative amplitude (ρ=-0.41; P=.045). Across all participants, positive correlations emerged between the Barthel Index scores and both interdaily stability (ρ=0.34; P=.02) and the most active 10-hour value (ρ=0.42; P=.002). CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the relevance of circadian rhythm disruptions in poststroke rehabilitation and provides insights into potential diagnostic and prognostic implications for rest-activity rhythm indicators as digital biomarkers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The coexistence of insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) poses a complex and challenging clinical scenario, commonly referred to as comorbid insomnia and OSA (COMISA). The bidirectional relationship between these two sleep disorders is explored, illuminating how the presence of one can exacerbate the severity and manifestations of the other. We under took this study to understand the prevalence of COMISA in Indians which is never studied. AIM To study the prevalence of COMISA in tertiary hospital in India. METHODS All OSA patients diagnosed with polysomnography were interviewed with insomnia severity index. Patients having score of more than 15 were considered to have insomnia. Demographic factors, clinical and physical examination and polysomnography values were noted. RESULTS 25% of 64 patients were diagnosed to have COMISA. Female gender, BMI, and STOP BANG score had positive association with COMISA, whereas age was not associated with increased risk. CONCLUSION COMISA can be more complex to diagnose and manage than insomnia or OSA alone. The symptoms and mechanisms of each condition have synergistic effect and is a barrier to treating COMISA.

Chest 2024; 166:212-225. [PMID: 38218217 DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2024.01.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Positional OSA (POSA) is a recognized subtype of OSA that exhibits distinct endotypic characteristics when compared with nonpositional OSA (NPOSA). The basis for the disparity in endotypes between these subtypes remains poorly understood. RESEARCH QUESTION (1) Do individuals with NPOSA and POSA have different underlying OSA endotypes? (2) Which endotypic characteristics are critical in determining NPOSA and POSA severity? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Within the Shanghai Sleep Health Study cohort, individuals with OSA were recruited and classified as having POSA or NPOSA. Endotypes were calculated using polysomnography. RESULTS Endotype analysis was conducted in 1,036 individuals with OSA. Compared with individuals with NPOSA, those with POSA had lower loop gain calculated during all sleep stages and all sleep positions (0.55; interquartile range [IQR], 0.46-0.66 vs 0.68, IQR, 0.52-0.90; P < .001), lower arousal threshold calculated during all sleep stages and all sleep positions (ArTHAll) (138.67; IQR, 118.94-180.87 percentage of the eupneic ventilation [%Veupnea] vs 189.00; IQR, 129.71-257.76 %Veupnea; P < .001), lower pharyngeal collapsibility calculated during all sleep stages and all sleep positions (VpassiveAll) (91.85; IQR, 83.13-95.15 %Veupnea vs 76.38; IQR, 23.77-92.08 %Veupnea; P < .001), and higher muscle compensation calculated during all sleep stages and all sleep positions (6.50; IQR, -6.77 to 16.39 %Veupnea vs 3.65; IQR, -10.47 to 12.14 %Veupnea; P = .003). Logistic regression analyses indicated that higher VpassiveAll was associated with increased odds of POSA vs NPOSA. In NPOSA, fully adjusted linear regression analyses indicated that VpassiveAll (β = -0.55; 95% CI, -0.68 to -0.42; P < .001) and lower loop gain calculated during all sleep stages and all sleep positions (β = 0.19; 95% CI, 0.08-0.30; P < .001) were significant independent predictors of the apnea hypopnea index, with VpassiveAll being the most critical factor. In contrast, in POSA, collapsibility appeared to be less influential (β = -0.09; 95% CI, -0.21 to 0.03; P = .138). Nonanatomic endotypic characteristics (LGAll: β = 0.29; 95% CI, 0.18-0.41; P < .001; arousal threshold in all sleep stages and all sleep positions: β = 0.15; 95% CI, 0.01-0.28; P = .031; muscle compensation in all sleep stages and all sleep positions: β = -0.21; 95% CI, -0.29 to -0.12; P < .001) were significant in determining the severity of POSA, with loop gain being the most crucial factor. INTERPRETATION This study highlights the differences in endotypes between NPOSA and POSA. In Chinese individuals, anatomic factors were more significant in determining the severity of NPOSA, whereas nonanatomic traits were more likely to determine the severity of POSA. Future research should focus on developing personalized management strategies for individuals with NPOSA and POSA based on their endotypes.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can affect children and adults, and, if left untreated, could have a major impact on the general and overall well-being of the patient. Dental health care providers and orthodontists have an interdisciplinary role in screening patients at risk for OSA and make a referral to establish a definitive diagnosis by a sleep physician. The gold standard of diagnostic testing is polysomnography. The adeno-tonsillar hypertrophy is the primary cause of sleep apnea in children; therefore, adeno-tonsillectomy must be the first line of treatment. Post adeno-tonsillectomy, if there is residual OSA due to underlying skeletal discrepancy, the patient may be referred to an orthodontist for appropriate management. Currently the evidence in the literature for prophylactic growth modification in children to prevent OSA is weak. In adults, the gold standard for managing OSA is Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy; however, adherence to this treatment is rather low. The oral appliance (OA) therapy is an alternate for PAP intolerant patients and for mild to moderate OSA patients. The OA therapy has to be administered by a qualified dentist or orthodontist after careful examination of dental and periodontal health as well as any pre-existing joint conditions. The OA therapy could cause OA-associated malocclusion and patients have to be made aware of prior to initiating treatment. In patients with severe OSA, surgical maxilla-mandibular advancement (MMA) is highly effective.

Abstract
Some healthy lifestyle components have been linked with sleep disordered breathing (SDB), yet little is known about the relationship between comprehensive lifestyle factors and SDB. This study aimed to examine the healthy lifestyle with SDB in community-dwelling adults. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the Suzhou Food Consumption and Health Survey in China between 2018 and 2020. The healthy lifestyle index (HLI) was created by combining smoking, alcohol drinking, diet, physical activity, and body mass index (BMI). Its association with SDB was assessed by multiple logistic regression analysis. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were conducted to assess the robustness of our results. The final analysis included 3788 participants (2859 without SDB and 929 with SDB). In multivariable-adjusted analyses, non-smoking (OR: 0.58, 95 % CI: 0.47-0.71), non-drinking (OR: 0.55, 95 % CI: 0.45-0.68), healthy diet (OR: 0.79, 95 % CI: 0.65-0.95), and healthy BMI (OR: 0.72, 95 % CI: 0.6-0.86) were associated with SDB. Compared with participants with HLI score of 0-1, participants with HLI score of 2, 3, 4, and 5 had OR of 0.68 (95 % CI: 0.51-0.91), 0.49 (95 % CI: 0.37-0.64), 0.29 (95 % CI: 0.21-0.38), and 0.22 (95 % CI: 0.15-0.33), respectively, after adjustment for confounding factors (P-trend<0.001). An inverse dose-response relationship between HLI and SDB was also observed. The association was similar in subgroups stratified by sex, marital status, diabetes and dyslipidemia. A higher score of HLI was associated with reduced odds of SDB in Chinese adults. Our findings suggest the potential of addressing five modifiable lifestyle factors for the prevention of SDB.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bilateral internal ramus distraction (BIRD) is now part of select protocols for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Introducing a home monitoring protocol offers a valuable alternative to overnight laboratory polysomnography (PSG). PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare OSA parameters obtained via home respiratory polygraphy (HRP) and hospital PSG in a cohort of patients undergoing mandibular distraction for OSA management. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE Hospital Universitario La Princesa (Madrid) researchers conducted a prospective cohort study with patients diagnosed with moderate (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) = 15 to 30) to severe (AHI>30) OSA undergoing BIRD followed by LeFort maxillary osteotomy. Exclusion criteria were as follows: severe systemic diseases, central apneas, smoking, poor dental hygiene, or prior OSA interventions. PREDICTOR VARIABLE The predictor variable was PSG and HRP techniques. MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLES The main outcome variable comprises a collection of OSA parameters, including the AHI, oxygen desaturation index (ODI), and time spent below 90% oxygen saturation (T90). These data were measured both before and after distraction, as well as after 6 mm, 9 mm, and 12 mm of mandibular distraction. COVARIATES The covariates were age, sex, cardiovascular risk parameters, and the Epworth sleepiness scale. ANALYSES Pearson's correlation analyzed AHI, ODI, and T90 values from PSG and HRP. Wilcoxon Signed Rank-Sum Test compared 2 distraction stages, and the Friedman Test evaluated 3 stages (P < .05). Multiple regression analysis assessed if covariates were independent risk factors for postoperative persistent OSA. RESULTS The study included 32 patients (25% with moderate and 75% with severe OSA). Final AHI was 10.9 ± 8.9 (events/hour) with HRP, compared to 15.2 ± 13.4 with PSG (r = 0.7, P < .05). ODI was 9.0 ± 8.1 (des/h) with HRP and 8.7 ± 9.5 with PSG (r = 0.85, P < .05). T90 was 1.6 ± 2.2 with HRP and 1.3 ± 3.0 with PSG (r = 0.6, P < .05). Based on HRP data, AHI improved from D1 (34.0 ± 19.5) to D2 (20.8 ± 14.1) and D3 (12.5 ± 10.4) (P < .05). ODI decreased from D1 (26.1 ± 19.0) to D2 (16.0 ± 12.6) and D3 (9.4 ± 8.8) (P < .05). T90 reduced from D1 (8.2 ± 12.6) to D2 (4.1 ± 5.2) and D3 (1.9 ± 2.8) (P < .05). Multiple regression analysis of comorbidities produced nonsignificant results. CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE Monitoring BIRD through HRP has demonstrated efficacy in yielding results that align with PSG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although it is recommended that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) be screened for using a validated self-report questionnaire in patients experiencing dizziness, there is still a lack of research on the relationship between high risk of OSA and chronic dizziness. OBJECTIVES The study aimed to examine the relationship between the high risk of OSA and chronic dizziness and investigate how this relationship is affected by sleep duration. METHODS This cross-sectional study used data from the 8th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2019-2021). Adults aged 40 years or older were included and divided into two groups using the STOP-Bang Questionnaire (SBQ): a high-risk group for OSA or not. Complex samples logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the odds ratios of chronic dizziness based on the national population estimates. RESULTS Our findings showed that individuals in the high-risk group for OSA were significantly more likely to experience chronic dizziness. Specifically, among subgroups based on sleep duration, the high-risk group for OSA with a short sleep duration of ≤5 hours demonstrated the highest odds of chronic dizziness, showing a significantly 2.48-fold increased likelihood compared to the non-high risk for OSA with a sleep duration of 5-9 hours. DISCUSSION The SBQ can be beneficial when other causes do not explain chronic dizziness, helping to rule in the possibility of OSA. Educating individuals suspected of having OSA or who have been diagnosed with OSA about the importance of adequate sleep duration may help reduce the risk of chronic dizziness.

Sleep Bruxism and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Are Not Risk Factors for Tension-Type Headache (TTH): A Polysomnographic Study. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3835. [PMID: 38999400 PMCID: PMC11242812 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13133835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common primary headache. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sleep bruxism (SB) are two of the most common sleep disorders; however, the relationship between TTH, OSA, and SB has not been conclusively proved in the literature. The objective of our study was to estimate potential associations with OSA and SB in TTH subjects. Methods: 108 adult individuals who underwent polysomnography (vPSG) were included, and the group was divided into two subgroups: TTH (n = 34) and control (n = 74). The International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) guidelines were used to diagnose TTH. OSA and SB diagnoses were based on vPSG examination with electromyographic (EMG) recordings and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) criteria. The results were analyzed, where p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: In the TTH group, the incidence of SB was more than two times lower than the control (OR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.17-0.96, p < 0.05). However, the incidence of severe SB (BEI > 4) was similar in the TTH and control groups (OR = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.21-1.35, p > 0.05). Additionally, phasic and tonic SB episodes were less frequent in the TTH group compared to the controls (p < 0.05). The mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was not significantly different between the TTH and control groups (p > 0.05). The sleep architecture and respiratory disturbances did not differ between the examined groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions: SB is not a risk factor for TTH. Moreover, severe SB is not connected with TTH. OSA is not a risk factor for TTH. Sleep quality did not differ between both groups during PSG; therefore, TTH may not change sleep structure. The mechanism of these findings is still unclear, and further studies should explain in detail the association between TTH and OSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sleep disturbance is common among individuals with eating disorders (EDs), with approximately 50% of patients with EDs reporting sleep disturbance. Sleep problems may promote, exacerbate, or maintain ED symptoms through a variety of hypothesized mechanisms, such as impaired executive function, increased negative affect, and disruptions to appetitive rhythms. Although research investigating the role of sleep in EDs is growing, the current literature suffers from methodological limitations and inconsistencies, which reduce our ability to translate findings to improve clinical practice. The purpose of this forum is to propose a coordinated approach to more seamlessly integrate sleep research into ED research with particular emphasis on best practices in the definition and assessment of sleep characteristics. METHODS In this article, we will describe the current status of sleep-related research and relevant gaps within ED research practices, define key sleep characteristics, and review common assessment strategies for these sleep characteristics. Throughout the forum, we also discuss study design considerations and recommendations for future research aiming to integrate sleep research into ED research. RESULTS/DISCUSSION Given the potential role of sleep in ED maintenance and treatment, it is important to build upon preliminary findings using a rigorous and systematic approach. Moving forward as a field necessitates a common lens through which future research on sleep and EDs may be conducted, communicated, and evaluated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In adults and children with intellectual disability (ID), sleep -disordered breathing (SDB) is thought to be common. However, large epidemiological studies are lacking, and there are few studies on optimal methods of investigation and even fewer randomised, controlled intervention trials of treatment. METHOD Peer-reviewed publications from various databases were examined in line with search terms relevant to ID and SDB spanning the years 200-2024. RESULTS Findings suggest that, due to comorbid conditions, children and adults with ID may experience both an increased risk of SDB, as well as lower frequency of diagnosis. SDB can compromise the emotional, physical and mental health of individuals with ID. Appropriate treatment when tolerated leads to an improvement in health and well-being and several studies emphasized the importance of consistent follow-up of people with ID - something that is not universally occurring during childhood, in the transition to adulthood and during adulthood itself. As the most frequently occurring form of ID worldwide, we use Down syndrome as a specific example of how diagnosing and treating SDB can lead to improved outcomes. CONCLUSIONS This review highlights the importance of identifying SDB in this heterogenous population, recognising the multi-faceted, deleterious consequences of untreated SDB in people with ID, and presents some strategies that can be harnessed to improve diagnosis and management. Until further ID-specific research is available, we urge flexibility in the approach to people with ID and SDB based in guidelines and standard practice developed for the typically developing population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and validate machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models using drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) images to predict the therapeutic efficacy of hypoglossal nerve stimulator (HGNS) implantation. METHODS Patients who underwent DISE and subsequent HGNS implantation at a tertiary care referral center were included. Six DL models and five ML algorithms were trained on images from the base of tongue (BOT) and velopharynx (VP) from patients classified as responders or non-responders as defined by Sher's criteria (50% reduction in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and AHI < 15 events/h). Precision, recall, F1 score, and overall accuracy were evaluated as measures of performance. RESULTS In total, 25,040 images from 127 patients were included, of which 16,515 (69.3%) were from responders and 8,262 (30.7%) from non-responders. Models trained on the VP dataset had greater overall accuracy when compared to BOT alone and combined VP and BOT image sets, suggesting that VP images contain discriminative features for identifying therapeutic efficacy. The VCG-16 DL model had the best overall performance on the VP image set with high training accuracy (0.833), F1 score (0.78), and recall (0.883). Among ML models, the logistic regression model had the greatest accuracy (0.685) and F1 score (0.813). CONCLUSION Deep neural networks have potential to predict HGNS therapeutic efficacy using images from DISE, facilitating better patient selection for implantation. Development of multi-institutional data and image sets will allow for development of generalizable predictive models. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE N/A Laryngoscope, 2024.

Front Public Health 2024; 12:1425060. [PMID: 38975351 PMCID: PMC11224541 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2024.1425060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Previous observational studies have shown a correlation between leisure sedentary behaviors (LSB) and physical activity (PA) with the incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the causal associations remain unknown. Therefore, our study used bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to identify potential causal relationships between LSB/PA and OSA. Methods We sourced genetic variation data for LSB and PA from the UK Biobank, while data on OSA were collected from the FinnGen study. The primary analysis method employed was the inverse variance weighted (IVW) approach, complemented by the weighted median and MR-Egger methods. For sensitivity analyses, we conducted Cochran's Q test, the MR-Egger intercept test, the MR-PRESSO global test, and the leave-one-out analysis. Results IVW analyses showed that genetically predicted leisure television watching (odds ratio [OR] = 1.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.09-1.75, p = 0.007) and computer use (OR = 1.48, 95% CI = 1.15-1.92, p = 0.002) significantly increased the risk of OSA. Conversely, self-reported vigorous physical activity (VPA) (OR = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.11-0.98, p = 0.046) may reduce the risk of OSA. No causal effects on OSA risk were observed for driving or self-reported moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Furthermore, the reverse MR analysis indicated no significant causal relationship between OSA and any LSB/PA phenotype. Sensitivity tests showed no significant heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy. Conclusion This study suggests that leisurely television watching and computer use are risk factors for OSA, while VPA may be a protective factor. Additionally, OSA does not affect PA or LSB levels. We recommend reducing sedentary activities, particularly television watching and computer use, and prioritizing VPA to reduce the risk of OSA. Further research in diverse populations and settings is needed to validate these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No therapy has been shown to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and death in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OBJECTIVES The authors sought to investigate the long-term relationship between metabolic surgery and incident MACE in patients with OSA and obesity. METHODS Adult patients with a body mass index 35 to 70 kg/m2 and moderate-to-severe OSA at a U.S. health system (2004-2018) were identified. Baseline characteristics of patients who underwent metabolic surgery were balanced with a nonsurgical control group using overlap-weighting methods. Multivariable Cox regression analysis estimated time-to-incident MACE. Follow-up ended in September 2022. RESULTS A total of 13,657 patients (7,496 [54.9%] men; mean age 52.0 ± 12.4 years; median body mass index 41.0 kg/m2 [Q1-Q3: 37.6-46.2 kg/m2]), including 970 patients in the metabolic surgery group and 12,687 patients in the nonsurgical group, with a median follow-up of 5.3 years (Q1-Q3: 3.1-8.4 years) were analyzed. The mean between-group difference in body weight at 10 years was 26.6 kg (95% CI: 25.6-27.6 kg) or 19.3% (95% CI: 18.6%-19.9%). The 10-year cumulative incidence of MACE was 27.0% (95% CI: 21.6%-32.0%) in the metabolic surgery group and 35.6% (95% CI: 33.8%-37.4%) in the nonsurgical group (adjusted HR: 0.58 [95% CI: 0.48-0.71]; P < 0.001). The 10-year cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality was 9.1% (95% CI: 5.7%-12.4%) in the metabolic surgery group and 12.5% (95% CI: 11.2%-13.8%) in the nonsurgical group (adjusted HR: 0.63 [95% CI: 0.45-0.89]; P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS Among patients with moderate-to-severe OSA and obesity, metabolic surgery, compared with nonsurgical management, was associated with a significantly lower risk of incident MACE and death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tinnitus affects approximately 740 million adults globally, involving hearing, emotion, and sleep systems. However, studies using polysomnography and pure-tone audiometry (PTA) are limited. We aimed to assess the correlation between tinnitus and hearing, sleep quality, characteristics, and depression using polysomnography and PTA. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we divided participants into tinnitus and non-tinnitus groups. We included 100 outpatients (65 with tinnitus, 35 without) from a medical center in Taiwan, who underwent polysomnography and completed rating scales including the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Chinese-Mandarin version of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI-CM). We analyzed correlations, conducted group comparisons, assessed factors related to THI-CM scores, constructed ROC curves to predict depression in the tinnitus group, and performed multinomial and logistic regression to explore associations. RESULTS Descriptive statistics identified a cohort with mean age 53.9 ± 12.80 years, 63% exhibited PHQ-9 scores ≥ 10, and 66% had Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) > 5. The ratio of rapid eye movement and deep sleep to stage 1 + 2 sleep was relatively low and non-significant. Likewise, leg movements was higher in the tinnitus group but not statistically significant. In the tinnitus group, 63.08% had depression, and 81.54% had AHI > 5. Univariate logistic regression linked tinnitus to AHI > 5 (Odds ratio (OR) 2.67, p = 0.026) and male sex (OR 2.49, p = 0.034). A moderate positive correlation was found between the THI-CM score and PHQ-9 score (rs = 0.50, p < 0.001). Further adjustment for obstructive sleep apnea showed associations between PHQ-9 (total score) or depression and THI-CM Grade 3-5 (OR = 1.28; OR = 8.68). Single- and multifactor regression analyses highlighted significant associations of PSQI scores > 13 (OR 7.06, p = 0.018) and THI-CM scores > 47 (OR 7.43, p = 0.002) with depression. CONCLUSIONS Our study recruited tinnitus participants with slight or mild hearing loss and mild tinnitus handicap. Depression was identified as a predominant factor in tinnitus-related handicap. The mild tinnitus handicap in tinnitus participants may explain the lack of significant differences in depression, sleep quality, and polysomnographic sleep characteristics between tinnitus and non-tinnitus groups. Further extensive and prospective studies are needed to elucidate the complex links among depression, sleep, and tinnitus.

Abstract
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder. The availability of an easy-to-use sleep apnea predictor would provide a public health benefit by promoting early diagnosis and treatment. Our goal was to develop a prediction tool that used commonly available variables and was accessible to the public through a web site. Using data from polysomnography (PSG) studies that measured the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), we built a machine learning tool to predict the presence of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (defined as AHI ≥15). Our tool employs only seven widely available predictor variables: age, sex, weight, height, pulse oxygen saturation, heart rate and respiratory rate. As a preliminary step, we used 16,958 PSG studies to examine eight machine learning algorithms via five-fold cross validation and determined that XGBoost exhibited superior predictive performance. We then refined the XGBoost predictor by randomly partitioning the data into a training and a test set (13,566 and 3392 PSGs, respectively) and repeatedly subsampling from the training set to construct 1000 training subsets. We evaluated each of the resulting 1000 XGBoost models on the single set-aside test set. The resulting classification tool correctly identified 72.5 % of those with moderate to severe OSA as having the condition (sensitivity) and 62.8 % of those without moderate to-severe OSA as not having it (specificity); overall accuracy was 66 %. We developed a user-friendly publicly available website (https://manticore.niehs.nih.gov/OSApredictor). We hope that our easy-to-use tool will serve as a screening vehicle that enables more patients to be clinically diagnosed and treated for OSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is the highest estimated number of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in China. Early treatment could lead to fewer complications associated with OSA. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing help-seeking from the first symptom discovery to treatment in OSA. METHODS Semi-structured interview outline was designed to conduct face-to-face interview based on the analyses of a great number of related literatures on the delay in seeking medical attention of patients with OSA. 15 patients diagnosed were interviewed between June 2021 to September 2022 in general hospital of Shenyang, Northeastern of China. Qualitative data was analyzed by content analysis using the Model of Pathways to Treatment. RESULTS Analyses identified factors contributing to elapsed time from first symptom discovery to received treatment that are linked to disease characteristic, patients, health system organization. Appraisal interval is most obvious for patients with OSA, but it is difficult to pinpoint precisely because the patients didn't remember exactly when the first symptom was detected. CONCLUSIONS Patients diagnosed with OSA didn't initially interpret the snore as a warning sign and even thought it was a blessing. The findings provided guidance or avenues for reducing elapsed time between the first symptom and received treatment.

J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e033810. [PMID: 38842290 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.033810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder associated with cardiovascular risks. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of probable OSA and its relationship with cardiovascular risks and diseases focusing on age-stratified young adults (20-40 years) and older (>40 years). METHODS AND RESULTS The study used a cross-sectional design, analyzing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 2013 and 2018, comprising 9887 community-dwelling adults aged ≥20 years. Probable OSA was determined on the basis of self-report of OSA-related symptoms (eg, snoring, gasping/breath cessation while sleeping). Cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and metabolic syndrome, were evaluated according to established guidelines. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) included self-reported heart conditions, including congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, angina, heart attacks, and strokes. Individuals with probable OSA showed a significantly higher prevalence of health conditions, including hypertension (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR], 1.19; P<0.001), diabetes (aPR, 1.17; P: 0.01), metabolic syndrome (aPR, 1.14; P<0.001), heart attack (aPR, 1.63; P<0.01), stroke (aPR, 1.41; P: 0.03), and any CVD event (aPR, 1.36; P: 0.01) after adjusting for relevant factors. Young adults with probable OSA showed higher prevalence rates of any CVD events (aPR, 3.44; P<0.001), hypertension (aPR, 1.45; P<0.001), metabolic syndrome (aPR, 1.25; P<0.001), and angina (aPR, 10.39; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The study suggests early identification and management of OSA in individuals at risk for CVD. While cross-sectional, it emphasizes that health care providers should recognize OSA as significantly associated with CVDs and its precursor risks in young adults, stressing proactive care and screening to reduce CVD risk in this population.

[PMID: 38888001 DOI: 10.1111/jsr.14273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) causes sleep fragmentation and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). OSA has been hypothesised to impair the circadian sleep-wake rhythm, and this dysregulation may in turn exacerbate OSA-related diurnal symptoms. Hence, this study aimed to assess the sleep-wake rhythm through actigraphy, and its relationship with EDS in patients with untreated OSA. Patients with moderate-severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index ≥15/h) and healthy controls (HC) underwent a 7-day actigraphic recording to evaluate the sleep-wake rhythm. Participants underwent a sleep medicine visit and completed the self-report questionnaires assessing EDS (Epworth sleepiness scale, ESS), sleep quality (Pittsburgh sleep quality index, PSQI), and chronotype (morningness-eveningness questionnaire, MEQ). This study included 48 OSA patients (72.9% males; mean age 56.48 ± 9.53 years), and 22 HC (45.5% males; mean age 53.73 ± 18.20 years). After controlling for MEQ scores, actigraphic recording showed that the OSA patients present a lower sleep time (p = 0.011) and sleep efficiency (p = 0.013), as well as a higher sleep latency (p = 0.047), and sleep fragmentation (p = 0.029) than the HC. Regarding the sleep-wake rhythm actigraphic parameters, the OSA patients showed a lower average activity during the most active 10-hour period (p = 0.036) and a lower day/night activity ratio (p = 0.007) than the HC. Patients with OSA also reported higher ESS (p = 0.005) and PSQI scores (p < 0.001), and a chronotype less of morning type (p = 0.027) than the HC. In conclusion, this study documented a reduced diurnal motor activity and lower day/night activity ratio in OSA patients than in controls. These findings suggest a dysregulation of the circadian sleep-wake rhythm in OSA, possibly related to both EDS and reduced daytime motor activity.

[PMID: 38885891 DOI: 10.1016/j.resp.2024.104298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Intermittent hypoxia (IH) and intermittent transcutaneous electrical stimulation (ITES) might benefit patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the therapeutic value of combined IH and ITES in OSA is unknown. In this prospective, randomized, controlled crossover study, normoxia (air exposure for 50 min before sleep and sham stimulation for 6 h during sleep), IH (5 repeats of 5 min 10-12 % O2 alternating with 5 min air for 50 min, and sham stimulation for 6 h), ITES (air exposure for 50 min and 6 repeats of 30 min transcutaneous electrical stimulation alternating with 30 min of sham stimulation for 6 h), and IH&ITES (10-12 % O2 alternating with air for 50 min and transcutaneous electrical stimulation alternating with sham stimulation for 6 h) were administered to patients with OSA over four single-night sessions. The primary endpoint was difference in OSA severity between the interventions according to apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI). The efficacy was response to IH, ITES, IH&ITES defined as a ≥50 % reduction in AHI compared with normoxia. Twenty participants (17 male, 3 female) completed the trial. The median (IQR) AHI decreased from 14.5 (10.8, 17.5) events/h with normoxia to 6.9 (3.9, 14.8) events/h with IH (p=0.020), 5.7 (3.4, 9.1) events/h with ITES (p=0.001), and 3.5 (1.8, 6.4) events/h with IH&ITES (p=0.001). AHI was significantly different between IH and IH&ITES (p=0.042) but not between ITES and IH&ITES (p=0.850). For mild-moderate OSA (n=17), IH, ITES, and IH&ITES had a significant effect on AHI (p=0.013, p=0.001, p=0.001, respectively) compared with normoxia, but there were no differences in post hoc pairwise comparisons between intervention groups. No serious adverse events were observed. In conclusion, IH, ITES, and IH&ITES significantly reduced OSA severity. IH&ITES showed better efficacy in mild-moderate OSA than IH and was comparable to ITES. Our data do not support recommending IH&ITES over ITES for OSA.

Abstract
Introduction Hemodialysis (HD) populations have a high prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), which was specifically linked with fluid overload. HD fluid management targeting a low dry weight was shown to reduce OSA severity, opening to novel therapeutic options. We assessed nephrologists' awareness of OSA diagnosis in HD patients and whether they integrate the current knowledge into their fluid management strategy. Material and methods We performed a multicenter, cross-sectional study between July 2022 and July 2023, screening all HD patients of four HD units, and included those with confirmed OSA. We collected anthropometric parameters and fluid status from electronic dossiers. Predialysis fluid overload was measured by multifrequency bioelectrical impedance (BCM®). Nephrologists were asked to identify patients with known OSA, without consulting medical dossiers. The fluid management of patients identified as "OSA positive" was compared to that of patients misclassified as "OSA negative". Results Among 193 HD patients, 23.0% (n=45) had confirmed OSA. The mean age was 76.0 ± 7.5 years, 82.2% were men. Only 60% were correctly identified as "OSA positive" by nephrologists; 14.7% of patients on CPAP were identified. BMI was the only factor associated with correct OSA identification. The predialysis fluid overload tended to be greater in "OSA positive" patients than in the "OSA negative" patients (2.2 ± 1.4 kg vs 1.5 ± 1.3 kg; p=0.08), but there was no difference in postdialysis achievement of dry weight between the groups (residual overweight 0.2 ± 1.0 kg and 0.1 ± 0.7 kg; p= 0.672). Conclusions Our study suggests that the application of scientific evidence to the management of OSA in dialysis patients is not systematic. However, nephrologists have attempted to strictly achieve dry weight in all patients, regardless of OSA status. Sensibilization of nephrologists on the clinical and diagnostic peculiarities of OSA in HD patients may improve OSA diagnosis and therapeutic care.

Abstract
Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a respiratory disorder characterized by chronic intermittent hypoxia and fragmented sleep, leading to inflammatory response and oxidative stress. However, the differences in immune inflammatory response in OSA patients with different severity remain unclear. Purpose This study aims to examine the differences in peripheral blood immune cells and their risk factors in OSA patients. Patients and Methods A total of 277 snoring patients from the Sleep Respiratory Disorder Monitoring Center of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University were recruited in this study. According to the diagnosis and severity criteria of OSA, the included patients were further divided into simple snoring, mild, moderate, and severe groups. Peripheral blood immune cell counts including white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, red blood cells, platelets, and polysomnography indicators were collected from the patients. Results Compared with simple snoring patients, the OSA patients had increased circular monocyte and basophil count levels. In addition, correlation analysis results indicated that monocyte count was positively associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), smoking, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), the longest apnea duration, and Oxygen desaturation index (ODI), and negatively correlated with average SpO2 in snoring patients. Finally, multiple linear regression analysis revealed that AHI, COPD, smoking, and maximum heart rate were independent predictors of monocyte count. Conclusion OSA patients had a significant increase in their peripheral blood monocyte count. AHI, COPD, smoking, and maximum heart rate were risk factors for increased peripheral blood monocyte count in OSA patients. These findings suggest that peripheral blood monocytes can be considered an inflammatory biomarker of OSA.

Comparing Human-Smartphone Interactions and Actigraphy Measurements for Circadian Rhythm Stability and Adiposity: Algorithm Development and Validation Study. J Med Internet Res 2024; 26:e50149. [PMID: 38838328 PMCID: PMC11187513 DOI: 10.2196/50149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the relationships between adiposity and circadian rhythm and compare the measurement of circadian rhythm using both actigraphy and a smartphone app that tracks human-smartphone interactions. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that the app-based measurement may provide more comprehensive information, including light-sensitive melatonin secretion and social rhythm, and have stronger correlations with adiposity indicators. METHODS We enrolled a total of 78 participants (mean age 41.5, SD 9.9 years; 46/78, 59% women) from both an obesity outpatient clinic and a workplace health promotion program. All participants (n=29 with obesity, n=16 overweight, and n=33 controls) were required to wear a wrist actigraphy device and install the Rhythm app for a minimum of 4 weeks, contributing to a total of 2182 person-days of data collection. The Rhythm app estimates sleep and circadian rhythm indicators by tracking human-smartphone interactions, which correspond to actigraphy. We examined the correlations between adiposity indices and sleep and circadian rhythm indicators, including sleep time, chronotype, and regularity of circadian rhythm, while controlling for physical activity level, age, and gender. RESULTS Sleep onset and wake time measurements did not differ significantly between the app and actigraphy; however, wake after sleep onset was longer (13.5, SD 19.5 minutes) with the app, resulting in a longer actigraphy-measured total sleep time (TST) of 20.2 (SD 66.7) minutes. The obesity group had a significantly longer TST with both methods. App-measured circadian rhythm indicators were significantly lower than their actigraphy-measured counterparts. The obesity group had significantly lower interdaily stability (IS) than the control group with both methods. The multivariable-adjusted model revealed a negative correlation between BMI and app-measured IS (P=.007). Body fat percentage (BF%) and visceral adipose tissue area (VAT) showed significant correlations with both app-measured IS and actigraphy-measured IS. The app-measured midpoint of sleep showed a positive correlation with both BF% and VAT. Actigraphy-measured TST exhibited a positive correlation with BMI, VAT, and BF%, while no significant correlation was found between app-measured TST and either BMI, VAT, or BF%. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that IS is strongly correlated with various adiposity indicators. Further exploration of the role of circadian rhythm, particularly measured through human-smartphone interactions, in obesity prevention could be warranted.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea is a common comorbidity that occurs in individuals with obesity. It classically manifests with excessive daytime sleepiness, resulting in reduced quality of life, workplace productivity, and an increased risk of motor vehicle accidents. Weight gain plays an important role in its pathogenesis through worsening upper airway collapsibility, and current treatment options are targeted towards mechanically overcoming upper airway obstruction and weight loss. Continuous positive airway pressure therapy remains the most widely prescribed treatment for obstructive sleep apnea but poor tolerance is a common barrier to effective treatment. Sustainable weight loss is an important treatment option but can be difficult to achieve without bariatric surgery. The recent advances in incretin-based pharmacotherapies represent a promising avenue not only in achieving long-term weight loss but also in treating obstructive sleep apnoea and alleviating the burden of its symptoms and comorbidities.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES The relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is complex. We aimed to determine the association of self-reported and objective sleep parameters with diverse manifestations of the GERD spectrum. METHODS We prospectively recruited 561 individuals who underwent an electrocardiogram-based cardiopulmonary coupling for OSA screening during a health check-up. All participants received the Reflux Disease Questionnaire and an upper endoscopy to determine the presence of troublesome reflux symptoms and erosive esophagitis (EE). Sleep quality was evaluated by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and sleep dysfunction was defined as a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score > 5. OSA was defined as a cardiopulmonary coupling-derived apnea-hypopnea index exceeding 15 events/h. Comparisons were made between participants on the GERD spectrum with respect to their various self-reported and objective sleep parameters. RESULTS Among the 277 patients with GERD (49.4%), 198 (35.3%) had EE. Patients with GERD had higher PSQI scores (6.99 ± 3.97 vs 6.07 ± 3.73, P = .005) and a higher prevalence of sleep dysfunction (60.6% vs 49.6%, P = .009). Patients with EE had a higher prevalence of OSA (42.9% vs 33.9%, P = .034). Along the GERD spectrum, symptomatic patients with EE had the highest PSQI scores and prevalence of sleep dysfunction (70.7%), while asymptomatic patients with EE had the highest prevalence of OSA (44%).

[PMID: 38662324 PMCID: PMC11136900 DOI: 10.1007/s40120-024-00607-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Low-sodium oxybate (LXB) is approved for treatment of narcolepsy in patients aged 7 years and older and treatment of idiopathic hypersomnia in adults. LXB contains the same active moiety with 92% less sodium than sodium oxybate (SXB). As the indication for oxybate treatment in patients with idiopathic hypersomnia is new and allows for individualized dosing optimization, guidance for beginning LXB treatment is needed. In particular, clinicians may benefit from guidance regarding treatment initiation, dosing/regimen options, potential challenges, and treatment expectations. Additionally, pharmacokinetic profiles differ slightly between both treatments, and further guidance on transitioning from SXB to LXB in patients with narcolepsy may aid clinicians. METHODS An expert panel of five sleep specialists was convened to obtain consensus on recommendations for these topics using a modified Delphi process. RESULTS Across two virtual meetings, the panel agreed on 31 recommendations with a high degree of consensus that fell into four overarching topics: (1) introducing LXB to patients; (2) initiating LXB for adult narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia; (3) addressing challenges in using LXB; and (4) transitioning from SXB to LXB. The panel recommended that clinicians provide a clear overview of how LXB works for treating symptoms in narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia, as appropriate for their patients, explain safety aspects, and set expectations prior to initiating LXB treatment. Strategies for initial dosing and regimen are provided. Strategies for adjusting the dose, regimen, timing, and consideration of individual factors were developed for specific instances in which patients may have trouble staying asleep or waking up, as well as guidance for addressing potential adverse events, such as nausea, dizziness, anxiety, and depression. Discussion points based on existing literature and clinical experience were included as relevant for each statement. CONCLUSION Clinicians may use this resource to guide LXB dosing optimization with patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Weight reduction is a standard recommendation for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment in people with obesity or overweight; however, weight loss can be challenging to achieve and maintain without bariatric surgery. Currently, no approved anti-obesity medication has demonstrated effectiveness in OSA management. This study is evaluating the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide for treatment of moderate to severe OSA in people with obesity. METHODS SURMOUNT-OSA, a randomized, placebo -controlled, 52-week phase 3 trial, is investigating the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide for treatment of moderate to severe OSA (apnea hypopnea- index ≥15 events/h) in participants with obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2) and an established OSA diagnosis. SURMOUNT-OSA is made of 2 intervention-specific appendices (ISAs): ISA-1 includes participants with no current OSA treatment, and ISA-2 includes participants using positive airway pressure therapy. Overall, 469 participants have been randomized 1:1 to receive tirzepatide or placebo across the master protocol (ISA-1, n = 234; ISA-2, n = 235). All participants are also receiving lifestyle intervention for weight reduction. RESULTS The primary endpoint for the individual ISAs is the difference in apnea hypopnea- index response, as measured by polysomnography, between tirzepatide and placebo arms at week 52. Secondary endpoints include sleep apnea-specific hypoxic burden, functional outcomes, and cardiometabolic biomarkers. The trial employs digital wearables, including home sleep testing to capture time to improvement and accelerometry for daily physical activity assessment, to evaluate exploratory outcomes. CONCLUSION SURMOUNT-OSA brings a novel design to investigate if tirzepatide provides clinically meaningful improvement in obesity-related OSA by targeting the underlying etiology.

Abstract
PURPOSE Poor sleep health, a composite measure of key sleep characteristics, may relate to increased depressive symptoms among individuals treated for obstructive sleep apnea. The current investigation examined the association between sleep health and depressive symptomatology. METHODS In a pilot sample of 13 symptomatic OSA military Veterans with adequate CPAP adherence (mean age = 54.8, 76.9% male, 100% White), empirically validated cutoffs were applied to actigraphy-derived sleep variables: duration, efficiency, timing, and regularity. RESULTS Participants with zero optimal sleep scores had significantly higher depressive scores (M = 19.0, SD = 3.0) than participants with 1 or 2 (M = 9.8. SD = 4.3, p = .016) and 3 or more optimal sleep scores (M = 11.3, SD = 4.9, p = .038). CONCLUSIONS These preliminary findings suggest that better sleep health was associated with lower depressive symptomatology. Future work should replicate these preliminary findings in a larger sample.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnostic uses polysomnography or limited polygraphy and requires specialized personnel and technical equipment. Glycoprotein biomarkers and microRNAs are being explored as a possible new method for screening. We aimed to evaluate whether certain biomarkers and microRNA, previously identified as related to OSA, could be influenced by factors such as gender, age, and obesity level in patients with OSA. METHODS In this retrospective analytical study, patients with moderate to severe OSA (n = 130) were compared with the control group. Serum levels of selected biomarkers and microRNA were taken from both groups. The group of OSA patients was then stratified by gender, obesity level, and age to see the possible influence of those variables on biomarker levels. RESULTS Levels of all studied biomarkers - C-reactive protein (CRP), high-sensitivity troponin I (hsTnI), pentraxin-3 (PTX-3), and microRNA-499 were significantly higher in patients with OSA compared to the control group. In the OSA group only hsTnI showed a statistically significant relationship with gender. Levels of CRP and hsTnI showed a significant dependence on the level of obesity. Dependency on age was proven for hsTnI. CRP, PTX-3, and microRNA-499 did not have any statistically significant relationship with age. CONCLUSION We found that serum levels of pentraxin-3 and microRNA-499 in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea are independent of gender, obesity, and age. CRP was affected by the level of obesity and hsTnI was influenced by all 3 variables. We consider these findings important for further research of OSA biomarkers.

Abstract
Background Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) forms a prevalent symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and narcolepsy type 1 (NT1), while the latter might always be overlooked. Machine learning (ML) models can enable the early detection of these conditions, which has never been applied for diagnosis of NT1. Objective The study aimed to develop ML prediction models to help non-sleep specialist clinicians identify high probability of comorbid NT1 in patients with OSA early. Methods Totally, clinical features of 246 patients with OSA in three sleep centers were collected and analyzed for the development of nine ML models. LASSO regression was used for feature selection. Various metrics such as the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were employed to evaluate and compare the performance of these ML models. Model interpretability was demonstrated by Shapley Additive explanations (SHAP). Results Based on the analysis of AUC, DCA, and calibration curves, the Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) model demonstrated superior performance compared to other machine learning (ML) models. The top five features used in the GBM model, ranked by feature importance, were age of onset, total limb movements index, sleep latency, non-REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep stage 2 and severity of OSA. Conclusion The study yielded a simple and feasible screening ML-based model for the early identification of NT1 in patients with OSA, which warrants further verification in more extensive clinical practices.

Abstract
TOPIC IMPORTANCE Stroke is the second-leading cause of death worldwide. OSA is an independent risk factor for stroke and is associated with multiple vascular risk factors. Poststroke OSA is prevalent and closely linked with various stroke subtypes, including cardioembolic stroke and cerebral small vessel disease. Observational studies have shown that untreated poststroke OSA is associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke, mortality, poorer functional recovery, and longer hospitalizations. REVIEW FINDINGS Poststroke OSA tends to be underdiagnosed and undertreated, possibly because stroke patients with OSA present atypically compared with the general population with OSA. Objective testing, such as the use of ambulatory sleep testing or in-laboratory polysomnography, is recommended for diagnosing OSA. The gold standard for treating OSA is CPAP therapy. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that treatment of poststroke OSA using CPAP improves nonvascular outcomes such as cognition and neurologic recovery. However, findings from RCTs that have evaluated the effect of CPAP on recurrent stroke risk and mortality have been largely negative. SUMMARY There is a need for high-quality RCTs in poststroke OSA that may provide evidence to support the utility of CPAP (and/or other treatment modalities) in reducing recurrent vascular events and mortality. This goal may be achieved by examining treatment strategies that have yet to be trialed in poststroke OSA, tailoring interventions according to poststroke OSA endotypes and phenotypes, selecting high-risk populations, and using metrics that reflect the physiological abnormalities that underlie the harmful effects of OSA on cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep breathing disorder characterized by intermittent hypoxia (IH), with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) as its standard treatment. However, the effects of intermittent hypoxia/reoxygenation (IH/R) on weight regulation in obesity and its underlying mechanism remain unclear. Gut microbiota has gained attention for its strong association with various diseases. This study aims to explore the combined influence of IH and obesity on gut microbiota and to investigate the impact of reoxygenation on IH-induced alterations. Methods Diet-induced obese (DIO) rats were created by 8-week high-fat diet (HFD) feeding and randomly assigned into three groups (n=15 per group): normoxia (NM), IH (6% O2, 30 cycles/h, 8 h/day, 4 weeks), or hypoxia/reoxygenation (HR, 2-week IH followed by 2-week reoxygenation) management. After modeling and exposure, body weight and biochemical indicators were measured, and fecal samples were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing. Results DIO rats in the IH group showed increased weight gain (p=0.0016) and elevated systemic inflammation, including IL-6 (p=0.0070) and leptin (p=0.0004). Moreover, IH rats exhibited greater microbial diversity (p<0.0167), and significant alterations in the microbial structure (p=0.014), notably the order Clostridiales, accompanied by an upregulation of bile acid metabolism predicted pathway (p=0.0043). Reoxygenation not only improved IH-exacerbated obesity, systemic inflammation, leptin resistance, and sympathetic activation, but also showed the potential to restore IH-induced microbial alterations. Elevated leptin levels were associated with Ruminococcaceae (p=0.0008) and Clostridiales (p=0.0019), while body weight was linked to Blautia producta (p=0.0377). Additionally, the abundance of Lactobacillus was negatively correlated with leptin levels (p=0.0006) and weight (p=0.0339). Conclusion IH leads to gut dysbiosis and metabolic disorders, while reoxygenation therapy demonstrates a potentially protective effect by restoring gut homeostasis and mitigating inflammation. It highlights the potential benefits of CPAP in reducing metabolic risk among obese patients with OSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism. However, whether there is an independent association between Sleep Apnea-Specific Hypoxic Burden (SASHB) and glycolipid metabolism disorders in patients with OSA is unknown. METHODS We enrolled 2,173 participants with suspected OSA from January 2019 to July 2023 in this study. Polysomnographic variables, biochemical indicators, and physical measurements were collected from each participant. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to evaluate independent associations between SASHB, AHI, CT90 and glucose as well as lipid profile. Furthermore, logistic regressions were used to determine the odds ratios (ORs) for abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism across various SASHB, AHI, CT90 quartiles. RESULTS The SASHB was independently associated with fasting blood glucose (FBG) (β = 0.058, P = 0.016), fasting insulin (FIN) (β = 0.073, P < 0.001), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (β = 0.058, P = 0.011), total cholesterol (TC) (β = 0.100, P < 0.001), total triglycerides (TG) (β = 0.063, P = 0.011), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (β = 0.075, P = 0.003), apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) (β = 0.051, P = 0.049), apolipoprotein B (apoB) (β = 0.136, P < 0.001), apolipoprotein E (apoE) (β = 0.088, P < 0.001) after adjustments for confounding factors. Furthermore, the ORs for hyperinsulinemia across the higher SASHB quartiles were 1.527, 1.545, and 2.024 respectively, compared with the lowest quartile (P < 0.001 for a linear trend); the ORs for hyper-total cholesterolemia across the higher SASHB quartiles were 1.762, 1.998, and 2.708, compared with the lowest quartile (P < 0.001 for a linear trend) and the ORs for hyper-LDL cholesterolemia across the higher SASHB quartiles were 1.663, 1.695, and 2.316, compared with the lowest quartile (P < 0.001 for a linear trend). Notably, the ORs for hyper-triglyceridemia{1.471, 1.773, 2.099} and abnormal HOMA-IR{1.510, 1.492, 1.937} maintained a consistent trend across the SASHB quartiles. CONCLUSIONS We found SASHB was independently associated with hyperinsulinemia, abnormal HOMA-IR, hyper-total cholesterolemia, hyper-triglyceridemia and hyper-LDL cholesterolemia in Chinese Han population. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm that SASHB can be used as a predictor of abnormal glycolipid metabolism disorders in patients with OSA.

Liu K, Geng S, Shen P, Zhao L, Zhou P, Liu W. Development and application of a machine learning-based predictive model for obstructive sleep apnea screening. Front Big Data 2024; 7:1353469. [PMID: 38817683 PMCID: PMC11137315 DOI: 10.3389/fdata.2024.1353469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To develop a robust machine learning prediction model for the automatic screening and diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using five advanced algorithms, namely Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), and Random Forest (RF) to provide substantial support for early clinical diagnosis and intervention. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 439 patients who underwent polysomnography at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between October 2019 and October 2022. Predictor variables such as demographic information [age, sex, height, weight, body mass index (BMI)], medical history, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) were used. Univariate analysis was used to identify variables with significant differences, and the dataset was then divided into training and validation sets in a 4:1 ratio. The training set was established to predict OSA severity grading. The validation set was used to assess model performance using the area under the curve (AUC). Additionally, a separate analysis was conducted, categorizing the normal population as one group and patients with moderate-to-severe OSA as another. The same univariate analysis was applied, and the dataset was divided into training and validation sets in a 4:1 ratio. The training set was used to build a prediction model for screening moderate-to-severe OSA, while the validation set was used to verify the model's performance. Results Among the four groups, the LightGBM model outperformed others, with the top five feature importance rankings of ESS total score, BMI, sex, hypertension, and gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), where Age, ESS total score and BMI played the most significant roles. In the dichotomous model, RF is the best performer of the five models respectively. The top five ranked feature importance of the best-performing RF models were ESS total score, BMI, GERD, age and Dry mouth, with ESS total score and BMI being particularly pivotal. Conclusion Machine learning-based prediction models for OSA disease grading and screening prove instrumental in the early identification of patients with moderate-to-severe OSA, revealing pertinent risk factors and facilitating timely interventions to counter pathological changes induced by OSA. Notably, ESS total score and BMI emerge as the most critical features for predicting OSA, emphasizing their significance in clinical assessments. The dataset will be publicly available on my Github.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hyoid and tongue base suspension may treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study summarizes device-related adverse events associated with the AIRvance and AIRLIFT systems used for hyoid and tongue base suspension. MATERIALS AND METHODS The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database was queried for reports describing adverse events associated with hyoid or tongue base suspension from January 2012 to December 2022. RESULTS 77 adverse events were identified. When performed separately, adverse events were equally as common with hyoid suspension as with tongue base suspension. More complications occurred postoperatively (51 [66.2 %]) than intraoperatively (26 [33.8 %]). The most reported adverse events were infection (23 [29.9 %]), broken screw (15 [19.5 %]), pain or discomfort (10 [13.0 %]), suture rupture (8 [10.4 %]), and dislodged screw (7 [9.1 %]). 10 infections required drainage or debridement; 12 required device explantation. CONCLUSIONS The present study is the largest and most longitudinal review of adverse events associated with hyoid and tongue base suspension. Infection was the most common adverse event, and may require device explantation. While adverse events were most frequently attributed to device malfunction, broken screw, suture rupture, and broken needle were often attributed to operator error due to application of excessive force. Surgeon training to increase familiarity with hyoid and tongue base suspension may reduce adverse events caused by operator error. The MAUDE database is limited as a passive surveillance system. Standardized reporting may improve understanding of associated adverse events, enabling better informed comparisons between surgical treatment options for OSA.

Abstract
Sleep apnea (SA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder that tends to induce a series of complications, such as pediatric intracranial hypertension, psoriasis, and even sudden death. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment can effectively prevent malignant complications SA incurs. Portable monitoring (PM) is a widely used tool for people to monitor their sleep conditions outside of hospitals. In this study, we focus on SA detection based on single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) signals which are easily collected by PM. We propose a bottleneck attention based fusion network named BAFNet, which mainly includes five parts of RRI (R-R intervals) stream network, RPA (R-peak amplitudes) stream network, global query generation, feature fusion, and classifier. To learn the feature representation of RRI/RPA segments, fully convolutional networks (FCN) with cross-learning are proposed. Meanwhile, to control the information flow between RRI and RPA networks, a global query generation with bottleneck attention is proposed. To further improve the SA detection performance, a hard sample scheme with k-means clustering is employed. Experiment results show that BAFNet can achieve competitive results, which are superior to the state-of-the-art SA detection methods. It means that BAFNet has great potential to be applied in the home sleep apnea test (HSAT) for sleep condition monitoring.

Abstract
The American Heart Association recently included sleep health as one of eight factors that define cardiovascular health. Restorative sleep is a pillar of lifestyle medicine influenced by sleep duration, quality, and disorders. Short and long sleep duration are associated with greater risk of cardiovascular disease. Short sleep appears causally related to cardiovascular risk. Long sleep is more strongly predictive of cardiovascular risk, which may be due to comorbidities and other risk factors. Good-quality sleep appears to protect against the increased risk and is independently associated with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Insomnia, particularly difficulty falling asleep and non-restorative sleep, is associated with an increase in cardiac events. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cardiac risk and outcomes, which is typically observed in the context of contributing comorbidities. However, treating OSA with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may not improve prognosis. Further research is needed to understand the causal mechanisms connecting sleep health with CVD and whether modifying sleep can improve outcomes. Sleep health should be considered as part of a holistic approach to improving cardiovascular health, as reflected in the scoring of LE8 and as one of the interrelated components of lifestyle medicine.

The Long-Term Prognostic Role of Nighttime Resting Heart Rate in Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome. J Atheroscler Thromb 2024; 31:603-615. [PMID: 38148032 PMCID: PMC11079480 DOI: 10.5551/jat.64517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM A close relationship exists between resting heart rate (RHR) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Still, the prognostic importance of nighttime RHR in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with or without OSA remains unclear. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index of ≥ 15 events/h, and the high nighttime RHR (HNRHR) was defined as a heart rate of ≥ 70 bpm. The primary endpoint was a major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-driven revascularization, or hospitalization for heart failure. RESULTS Among the 1875 enrolled patients, the mean patient age was 56.3±10.5 years, 978 (52.2%) had OSA, and 425 (22.7%) were in HNRHR. The proportion of patients with HNRHR is higher in the OSA population than in the non-OSA population (26.5% vs. 18.5%; P<0.001). During 2.9 (1.5, 3.5) years of follow-up, HNRHR was associated with an increased risk of MACCE in patients with OSA (adjusted HR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.09-2.23, P=0.014), but not in patients without OSA (adjust HR: 1.13, 95% CI: 0.69-1.84, P=0.63). CONCLUSIONS In patients with ACS, a nighttime RHR of ≥ 70 bpm was associated with a higher risk of MACCE in those with OSA but not in those without it. This identifies a potential high-risk subgroup where heart rate may interact with the prognosis of OSA. Further research is needed to determine causative relationships and confirm whether heart rate control impacts cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ACS-OSA.
