Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported associations between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and several mental disorders. However, further research is required to determine whether these associations are causal. Therefore, we evaluated the bidirectional causality between the genetic liability for OSA and nine mental disorders by using Mendelian randomization (MR). METHOD We performed two-sample bidirectional MR of genetic variants for OSA and nine mental disorders. Summary statistics on OSA and the nine mental disorders were extracted from the FinnGen study and the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium. The primary analytical approach for estimating causal effects was the inverse-variance weighted (IVW), with the weighted median and MR Egger as complementary methods. The MR Egger intercept test, Cochran's Q test, Rucker's Q test, and the MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) test were used for sensitivity analyses. RESULT MR analyses showed that genetic liability for major depressive disorder (MDD) was associated with an increased risk of OSA (odds ratio [OR] per unit increase in the risk of MDD, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.11-1.49; P < 0.001). In addition, genetic liability for OSA may be associated with an increased risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (OR = 1.26; 95% CI, 1.02-1.56; p = 0.032). There was no evidence that OSA is associated with other mental disorders. CONCLUSION Our study indicated that genetic liability for MDD is associated with an increased risk of OSA without a bidirectional relationship. Additionally, there was suggestive evidence that genetic liability for OSA may have a causal effect on ADHD. These findings have implications for prevention and intervention strategies targeting OSA and ADHD. Further research is needed to investigate the biological mechanisms underlying our findings and the relationship between OSA and other mental disorders.

J Psychosom Res 2024; 179:111620. [PMID: 38430795 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychores.2024.111620] [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: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Numerous studies have reported the close association of depression with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the causal nature and direction remain unclear. This study aimed to identify the genetic causal relationship between depression and OSA using Mendelian randomization (MR). METHODS Based on publicly available genome-wide association studies data of depression and OSA, we conducted a bidirectional two-sample MR study. The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) was used as the main analysis method. Moreover, multivariable MR was performed to further explore the underlying genetic causality of OSA and depression after adjusting for several potential mediators. RESULTS The univariable MR analysis revealed a significant causality of depression on the susceptibility of OSA (ORivw = 1.29, 95%CI:1.11,1.50; p < 0.001). This relationship was evidenced by the phenotypes for broad depression (ORivw = 3.30, 95%CI: 1.73, 6.29; p < 0.001), probable major depression (ORivw = 18.79, 95%CI: 5.69, 61.99; p < 0.001), and ICD-10 major depression (ORivw = 23.67, 95%CI: 4.13, 135.74; p < 0.001). In the reverse direction, no significant causal effect of OSA on depression was found. After adjusting for smoking, alcohol use, obesity, type 2 diabetes, insomnia, age, gender, and codeine, most of these results suggested that depression remained significantly and positively associated with OSA. CONCLUSION These findings may contribute to the understanding of the etiology of depression and OSA and also suggest the clinical significance of controlling depression for the prevention of OSA.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) significantly impairs children's growth and cognition. This study aims to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying OSAHS in children, with a particular focus on the alterations in cortical information interaction during respiratory events. We analyzed sleep electroencephalography before, during, and after events, utilizing Symbolic Transfer Entropy (STE) for brain network construction and information flow assessment. The results showed a significant increase in STE after events in specific frequency bands during N2 and rapid eye movement (REM) stages, along with increased STE during N3 stage events. Moreover, a noteworthy rise in the information flow imbalance within and between hemispheres was found after events, displaying unique patterns in central sleep apnea and hypopnea. Importantly, some of these alterations were correlated with symptom severity. These findings highlight significant changes in brain region coordination and communication during respiratory events, offering novel insights into OSAHS pathophysiology in children.

Abstract
Background Extensive observational evidence suggests an association between psychiatric disorders (PDs) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but their causal relationship remains unexplored. The objective of this study was to examine the causal relationship between PDs and OSA. Methods Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted with summary genetic data from the FinnGen and Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC). Inverse-variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, weighted median, and weighted mode methods were employed to ascertain causal influence. Sensitivity analysis employing various methodologies assessed the robustness of the findings. Furthermore, multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR) was used to clarify if the exposures independently caused OSA. Results MR analysis showed that genetically determined major depressive disorder (MDD) increased the risk of OSA (IVW odds ratio [OR]: 1.377, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.242-1.526, P = 1.05×10-9). Sensitivity analysis showed no evidence of pleiotropy and heterogeneity. In MVMR, the significant association persisted after adjusting for BMI, smoking, and alcohol consumption. No conclusive evidence indicated the causal impact of other psychological characteristics on OSA. In the reverse MR analyses, there was no causal effect of OSA on PDs. Conclusion This study suggests a causal effect of MDD on OSA risk. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and understand how MDD contributes to OSA development, potentially aiding in reducing OSA incidence.

A real-world observational study assessing relationships between excessive daytime sleepiness and patient satisfaction in obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep Med 2024; 114:42-48. [PMID: 38154148 PMCID: PMC10961719 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2023.12.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES/BACKGROUND To estimate prevalence and severity of excessive daytime sleepiness among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who were prescribed treatment; assess perception and satisfaction of OSA-related care; describe relationships between excessive daytime sleepiness, treatment adherence, and patient satisfaction. PATIENTS/METHODS A national population-based cross-sectional sample of US adults with clinician-diagnosed OSA was surveyed in January 2021 via Evidation Health's Achievement App. Patients completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, rated satisfaction with healthcare provider and overall OSA care, and reported treatment adherence. Covariates affecting excessive daytime sleepiness (average weekly sleep duration, treatment adherence, sleepiness-inducing medications, age, sex, body mass index, nasal congestion, smoking status, and comorbidities) were adjusted in multivariate regression models. RESULTS In 2289 participants (50.3 % women; 44.8 ± 11.1 years), EDS was highly prevalent (42 %), and was experienced by 36 % of patients with high positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy adherence. Each additional hour of nightly PAP use was associated with improved sleepiness (a 0.28-point lower Epworth score; p < 0.001). Excessive daytime sleepiness was associated with lower patient satisfaction with healthcare providers and overall care (OR [95 % CI] 0.62 [0.48-0.80] and 0.50 [0.39-0.64], respectively; p < 0.0001), whereas PAP adherence was associated with higher patient satisfaction (OR [95 % CI] 2.37 [1.64-3.43] and 2.91 [2.03-4.17]; p < 0.0001), after adjusting for confounders. CONCLUSIONS In a real-world population-based study of patients with OSA, excessive daytime sleepiness was highly prevalent and associated with poor patient satisfaction ratings. Better patient-centered care among patients with OSA may require interventions aimed at addressing excessive daytime sleepiness and treatment adherence.

Abstract
Bidirectional relationship between sleep disturbances and affective disorders is increasingly recognised, but its underlying mechanisms are far from clear, and there is a scarcity of studies that report on sleep disturbances in recurrent depressive disorder (RDD) and bipolar affective disorder (BPAD). To address this, we conducted a retrospective study of polysomnographic and clinical records of patients presenting to a tertiary sleep disorders clinic with affective disorders. Sixty-three BPAD patients (32 female; mean age ± S.D.: 41.8 ± 12.4 years) and 126 age- and gender-matched RDD patients (62 female; 41.5 ± 12.8) were studied. Whilst no significant differences were observed in sleep macrostructure parameters between BPAD and RDD patients, major differences were observed in comorbid sleep and physical disorders, both of which were higher in BPAD patients. Two most prevalent sleep disorders, namely obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) (BPAD 50.8.0% vs RDD 29.3%, P = 0.006) and insomnia (BPAD 34.9% vs RDD 15.0%, P = 0.005) were found to be strongly linked with BPAD. In summary, in our tertiary sleep clinic cohort, no overt differences in the sleep macrostructure between BPAD and RDD patients were demonstrated. However, OSA and insomnia, two most prevalent sleep disorders, were found significantly more prevalent in patients with BPAD, by comparison to RDD patients. Also, BPAD patients presented with significantly more severe OSA, and with higher overall physical co-morbidity. Thus, our findings suggest an unmet/hidden need for earlier diagnosis of those with BPAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and alcohol-related diseases (ARDs), including alcohol use disorder, alcohol-related psychiatric disorders, alcoholic liver disease, alcoholic polyneuropathy alcoholic cardiomyopathy, and alcoholic gastritis, are both highly prevalent conditions. Alcohol consumption is associated with a higher risk of sleep apnea. However, whether OSA increases the risk of ARD has not, as yet, been studied comprehensively. Our study aimed to determine whether OSA increases the subsequent risk of ARD. METHODS This study utilized the data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Database between 2000 and 2015. We identified 7722 individuals newly diagnosed with OSA and randomly selected sex-, age-, and index date-matched (1:3) 22,166 controls without OSA, with a total of 29,888 subjects. We used the Fine and Gray's survival analysis to estimate the effects of OSA on ARD. RESULTS The OSA cohort had an adjusted hazard ratio of subsequent ARDs as 1.486 (95% Confidence Interval: 1.301-1.698), when comparing the cohort without OSA. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the cumulative incidence of ARDs was significantly higher in the OSA cohort than in the controls in the first year of follow-up, till the end of the follow-up. A post-hoc analysis showed that OSA was associated with alcohol use disorder, alcohol-related psychiatric disorders, and alcoholic liver disease, but not alcoholic polyneuropathy, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, and alcoholic gastritis. The use of psychoactive medication, including the sedative-hypnotics, antidepressants or antipsychotics were associated with a lower risk of ARDs. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that the OSA patients are at a higher risk of developing ARDs.

Abstract
The association between sleep apnea (SA) and depression had been reported in a few previous studies. However, whether SA increases the risk of major depressive disorder (MDD) has not been studied comprehensively in a large-scale study. We performed this population-based cohort study to assess the association between SA and MDD. We identified adult patients having SA from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database and excluded those having MDD before SA diagnosis. Thirty control subjects were randomly selected to match to each SA patient by age and sex. Totally, 10,259 SA patients were matched to 102,590 control subjects. The incidence rate and cumulative incidence of MDD were significantly higher in SA patients than in the control subjects (both p < 0.0001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that SA remained an independent risk factor for incident MDD after adjusting for age, sex, residency, income level, and comorbidities (hazard ratio = 2.9 [95% CI 2.8–3.1], p < 0.0001). In summary, SA patients have an increased risk to develop MDD. Physicians caring for SA patients must pay attention to their psychosocial health status.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can present with or provoke various psychological symptoms. In this article, we critically review studies that have examined dreams, dream recall, and dream content in patients with OSA. Obstructive events induce recurrent sleep fragmentation and intermittent desaturations in patients with OSA, which may trigger different parasomnias, including nightmares. Contradictory results have been reported concerning dreams in patients with OSA; while some investigators have reported less dreams in OSA patients, others have described that patients with OSA have increased dreams with emotional content, mainly violent and hostile content. Although there are reports of respiratory-related dream content in patients with OSA, most studies that have assessed the dream content of patients with OSA revealed that respiratory-related dream content was unusual. A clear association between post-traumatic stress disorders, comorbid OSA, and nightmares has been reported in several studies. Furthermore, an improvement in nightmare frequency with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment has been shown. An inverse relationship between the severity of OSA reflected by the apnea-hypopnea index and dream recall has been demonstrated in several studies. Future studies should differentiate between patients with non-stage specific OSA and patients with rapid eye movement (REM) predominant OSA.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the association between pulmonary embolism (PE) and the risk of psychiatric disorders. A total of 21,916 patients aged ≥20 years with PE between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2015, were selected from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, along with 65,748 (1:3) controls matched for sex and age. Cox regression model revealed the crude HR was 1.539 (95% CI 1.481 to 1.599; p<0.001), and after adjusting all the covariates, the adjusted HR was 1.704 (95% CI 1.435 to 1.991, p<0.001), for the risk of psychiatric disorders in the PE cohort. PE was associated with the overall psychiatric disorders, dementia, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders, after the exclusion of the psychiatric diagnoses in the first year. PE was associated with the overall psychiatric disorders, dementia, anxiety, and depression, after the exclusion of the psychiatric diagnoses in the first 5 years. The patients with PE were associated with psychiatric disorders. This finding could serve as a reminder to the physicians to be more watchful and aware in the long-term follow-up of patients with PE for their care and potential mental health problems.

Abstract
During the 2017 IFOS ENT World Congress, an international expert panel was asked to clarify the role of ENT in the diagnosis process of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) in adults around the world. OSA is a major public health issue throughout the world. OSA is a highly prevalent disease with heavy clinical, social and economical outcomes. This high prevalence raises serious difficulties of diagnosis accessibility if only somnologists are able to confirm OSA diagnosis. First of all, the panellists reviewed the impact of OSA. Secondly, they defined the ENT role stressing ENT legitimacy, professional expertise and academic and institutional tasks. They also defined when somnologists were necessary. For the international panel, the ENT is a major player in the OSA diagnosis process.

Abstract
This study determined the prevalence of rapid eye movement (REM) related sleep-disordered breathing (REM-SDB) in the general population and investigated the associations of REM-SDB with hypertension, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and depression.Home polysomnography (PSG) recordings (n=2074) from the population-based HypnoLaus Sleep Cohort (48.3% men, 57±11 years old) were analysed. The apnoea-hypopnoea index was measured during REM and non-REM sleep (as REM-AHI and NREM-AHI, respectively). Regression models were used to explore the associations between REM-SDB and hypertension, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and depression in the entire cohort and in subgroups with NREM-AHI <10 events·h-1 and total AHI <10 events·h-1The prevalence of REM-AHI ≥20 events·h-1 was 40.8% in the entire cohort. An association between increasing REM-AHI and metabolic syndrome was found in the entire cohort and in both the NREM-AHI and AHI subgroups (p-trend=0.014, <0.0001 and 0.015, respectively). An association was also found between REM-AHI ≥20 events·h-1 and diabetes in both the NREM-AHI <10 events·h-1 (odds ratio (OR) 3.12 (95% CI 1.35-7.20)) and AHI <10 events·h-1 (OR 2.92 (95% CI 1.12-7.63)) subgroups. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were positively associated with REM-AHI ≥20 events·h-1REM-SDB is highly prevalent in our middle-to-older age sample and is independently associated with metabolic syndrome and diabetes. These findings suggest that an increase in REM-AHI could be clinically relevant.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Bipolar disorder (BD) medical comorbidity presents significant clinical and public health concerns with serious impact on health. The aim of this article is to present an updated narrative review of original research articles (case control, longitudinal cohort, and cross-sectional studies) and meta-analyses published in English language journals from January 2013 to May 2017 focusing on general medical comorbidity in BD, including the added risks of iatrogenic factors relevant to the treatment of BD. RECENT FINDINGS We found numerous patterns of association between BD and various medical disorders involving multiple organ systems. One pattern indicated reciprocal increase in the rate of each comorbid condition, such as an increased rate of BD in asthma or migraine, and likewise an increase in the rate of asthma or migraine in patients with BD. A second pattern was a predominantly unidirectional increase in the rate of BD in patients with certain medical disorders, such as multiple sclerosis or cerebellar diseases. A third pattern was a predominantly unidirectional increased rate of medical disorders in patients with BD. One study suggested the potential involvement of genetic mechanisms for the association between BD and migraine. Most of the studies had cross-sectional or retrospective designs, and many relied on analysis of large administrative databases inviting multiple potential biases. Our review highlights the association between BD and a variety of medical disorders. Further research is needed to elucidate the potential underlying etiopathological mechanisms that contribute to observed comorbidities. The results of this review also emphasize the need for comprehensive screening for medical disorders in BD and for adoption of an integrated model of care to address these complex comorbidities.

Does the Medical Comorbidity Profile of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients Treated With Maxillomandibular Advancement Differ From That of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients Managed Nonsurgically? J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2018; 76:1999.e1-1999.e8. [PMID: 29425754 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2018.01.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2017] [Revised: 12/28/2017] [Accepted: 01/06/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients with retrognathia and measurable anatomic airway determinants may represent a subset of OSA patients and have distinct comorbidity profiles. Our aim was to compare the medical comorbidities of OSA patients managed surgically with maxillomandibular advancement with those of nonsurgical patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional retrospective study, patients for both cohorts were identified through the Massachusetts General Hospital oral and maxillofacial surgery data registry and the Massachusetts General Hospital Research Patient Data Registry. The inclusion criteria consisted of clinical records documenting body mass index (BMI), apnea-hypopnea index, respiratory disturbance index, and/or oxygen nadir. The primary predictor variable was the treatment modality chosen: surgical (maxillomandibular advancement) or nonsurgical. Demographic information and OSA parameters were evaluated. The primary outcome variable was the number of documented comorbidities in each group. Two-sample t tests were used for continuous variables, whereas χ2 or Fisher exact tests were used for categorical variables. RESULTS The nonsurgical cohort consisted of 71 patients (67.6% men), and the surgical cohort consisted of 51 patients (84.3% men). Comparison of descriptive characteristics showed that the nonsurgical cohort had a higher average age (49 ± 9.4 years) than the surgical cohort (41 ± 10.7 years, P < .001). In addition, a higher average BMI was present in the nonsurgical group (42.3 ± 11.9 in nonsurgical group vs 29.7 ± 5.5 in surgical group, P < .001). Polysomnogram parameters were comparable with the exception of a higher Epworth Sleepiness Scale score in the surgical cohort (15.5 ± 5.30 in surgical group vs 9.90 ± 6.80 in nonsurgical group, P = .005). The nonsurgical cohort had a higher total number of comorbidities (7 ± 4 in nonsurgical group vs 4 ± 3 in surgical group, P < .001). Hypertension, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, pulmonary hypertension, obstructive pulmonary disease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus had higher prevalences within the nonsurgical group. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that nonsurgically managed OSA patients tend to have more complex medical comorbidity profiles than those managed surgically. Obesity (BMI >30) was more prevalent in the nonsurgical cohort, which may be contributory. The additive contribution of OSA needs to be further elucidated.
