Abstract
Rationale: In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), increased activity of neck inspiratory muscles has been reported as a compensatory response to hyperinflation-related diaphragmatic dysfunction. The persistence of this activity during sleep could attenuate sleep-related hypoventilation and also negatively impact sleep and clinical outcomes.Objectives: To assess the persistence of neck-muscle activity during sleep in patients with COPD recovering from severe exacerbations (i.e., requiring hospitalization) and its impact on sleep quality and recurrence of exacerbations.Methods: Video polysomnography with neck-muscle EMG was performed in patients with COPD who were recovering from a severe exacerbation. The follow-up period lasted 6 months to record the next severe exacerbation.Measurements and Main Results: Twenty-nine patients were included in the study (median [25th-75th percentile] age, 71 [64-72] yr; 55% male; body mass index, 24 [21-29]; FEV1% predicted, 37 [29-45]; and BODE [body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise] index, 6 [5-7]). Twenty-six of these patients exhibited sleep-related neck-muscle activity, which was intermittent (limited to stage 3 sleep) in 17 and permanent throughout sleep in 9. α-Delta EEG activity during stage 3 sleep was observed in 87% of the patients. Compared with patients with no or intermittent neck-muscle activity, those with permanent neck-muscle activity showed more disrupted sleep, had experienced more exacerbations in the previous year, and suffered their next severe exacerbation earlier.Conclusions: Sleep-related neck-muscle activity occurs frequently in patients with COPD who are recovering from a severe exacerbation and seems to negatively affect sleep quality and prognosis; therefore, identification of this activity might improve COPD management after a severe exacerbation.

Abstract
AbstractStudy objectivesThe wake-sleep transition zone represents a poorly defined borderland, containing, for example, microsleep episodes (MSEs), which are of potential relevance for diagnosis and may have consequences while driving. Yet, the scoring guidelines of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) completely neglect it. We aimed to explore the borderland between wakefulness and sleep by developing the Bern continuous and high-resolution wake-sleep (BERN) criteria for visual scoring, focusing on MSEs visible in the electroencephalography (EEG), as opposed to purely behavior- or performance-defined MSEs.MethodsMaintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) trials of 76 randomly selected patients were retrospectively scored according to both the AASM and the newly developed BERN scoring criteria. The visual scoring was compared with spectral analysis of the EEG. The quantitative EEG analysis enabled a reliable objectification of the visually scored MSEs. For less distinct episodes within the borderland, either ambiguous or no quantitative patterns were found.ResultsAs expected, the latency to the first MSE was significantly shorter in comparison to the sleep latency, defined according to the AASM criteria. In certain cases, a large difference between the two latencies was observed and a substantial number of MSEs occurred between the first MSE and sleep. Series of MSEs were more frequent in patients with shorter sleep latencies, while isolated MSEs were more frequent in patients who did not reach sleep.ConclusionThe BERN criteria extend the AASM criteria and represent a valuable tool for in-depth analysis of the wake-sleep transition zone, particularly important in the MWT.
