Effectiveness of peer-delivered sleep health education and social support in increasing OSA evaluation among at-risk blacks. J Sleep Res 2024:e14213.

Abstract
To assess the effectiveness of culturally and linguistically tailored, peer-delivered obstructive sleep apnea education and of social support to increase adherence to physician-recommended obstructive sleep apnea evaluation among blacks. In a two-arm randomised controlled trial, we ascertained the effectiveness of peer-delivered obstructive sleep apnea education in increasing obstructive sleep apnea evaluation among 319 blacks at risk of obstructive sleep apnea (intervention = 159 and control = 160); their average age was 47 ± 12.9 years, and 41% were male. Obstructive sleep apnea risk was assessed with the Apnea Risk Evaluation System questionnaire, administered in community venues. Participants in the intervention arm received tailored obstructive sleep apnea education during a 6 month period; those in the control arm received standard sleep and healthy lifestyle information. Analysis focussed on the effectiveness of peer-delivered obstructive sleep apnea education on adherence to obstructive sleep apnea evaluation, but also considered the role of psychosocial factors. The results showed no significant differences in baseline demographic and clinical measures when contrasting participants in the study arms. The adherence rates for home-based obstructive sleep apnea evaluation in the intervention and control arms were 45.9% and 45.6%, respectively. Overall, participants in both study arms (adherers) who underwent obstructive sleep apnea evaluations were likely to experience a greater level of social support (8.2 ± 2.4 vs. 7.3 ± 2.4; p = 0.06). Moreover, adherers showed greater psychosocial scores (i.e., Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep scale, Apnea Beliefs Scale (ABS) (and Apnea Knowledge) compared with non-adherers (6.0 ± 1.8 vs. 4.9 ± 2.2; p = 0.02; 77.0 ± 7.1 vs. 73.2 ± 7.4; p = 0.04, and 6.4 ± 3.1 vs. 7.6 ± 2.4; p = 0.06, respectively). The results of the present randomised controlled trial favoured a potential role of peer-based social support and psychosocial factors, associated with obstructive sleep apnea adherence behaviour.

A Comprehensive Analysis of Clinical, Biochemical, and Polysomnographic Characteristics in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With and Without Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Cureus 2024; 16:e59734. [PMID: 38841011 PMCID: PMC11151989 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.59734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been a significant contributor to mortality all across the globe. The most attributing factors to pathogenesis are metabolic syndrome, obesity, diabetes, and so on, but the indicators of its early detection are still elusive. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to compare the clinical, biochemical, and polysomnographic characteristics of type 2 diabetes patients with and without OSA. DESIGN AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Medicine and Endocrinology Unit of Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, Ludhiana. A total of 584 patients with type 2 diabetes were assessed using the Berlin questionnaire, with 302 fulfilling the criteria for a high risk of OSA. Out of 302 patients who met the criteria for the high-risk category, 110 patients underwent a sleep study. RESULTS Three hundred and two patients satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. A total of 110 patients underwent a sleep study, of which 68 (61.8%) had evidence of OSA. The waist-to-hip ratio was considerably higher in the OSA patients than in the non-OSA group (1.09 vs 0.930, p = 0.001). HbA1c >7% was found in 58.8% of OSA patients contrary to 38.1% of non-OSA patients. Fasting plasma glucose levels (>126 mg/dl) were identified in a substantially larger proportion of OSA patients than the non-OSA patients (64.7% vs 45.2%, p = 0.04). Similarly, peripheral neuropathy was found more commonly in the OSA patients than in the non-OSA patients (47% vs. 26.1%, p = 0.02). Prevalence of retinopathy, nephropathy, coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, and peripheral vascular disease did not differ significantly between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS OSA frequently occurs among individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The prompt identification of OSA within this demographic is imperative to pinpoint those at an elevated risk of succumbing to conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, the exacerbation of glycemic control, and the onset of unmanaged hypertension. Moreover, there exists a positive correlation between the waist-to-hip ratio and the prevalence of OSA in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus, highlighting the critical role of waist-to-hip ratio assessments in this patient population.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) disorder, affects at least 25 million adults in the United States and is associated with increased risk for hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Racial/ethnic minorities have a disproportionate burden of OSA along with the health sequelae associated with this condition. Despite supporting evidence of racial/ethnic disparities, few studies have investigated SDB including OSA among minoritized racial/ethnic groups. In this scoping review of the literature, the authors summarize current findings related to racial/ethnic disparities in OSA, identified social and environmental determinants of health, treatment inequities, and promising evidence-based interventions and conclude with future research directions.

Association Between Sleep Apnea and Blood Pressure Control Among Blacks. Circulation 2019; 139:1275-1284.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blacks have a high prevalence of hypertension and uncontrolled blood pressure (BP), each of which may be partially explained by untreated sleep apnea. We investigated the association of sleep apnea with uncontrolled BP and resistant hypertension in blacks. METHODS Between 2012 and 2016, Jackson Heart Sleep Study participants (N=913) underwent an in-home Type 3 sleep apnea study, clinic BP measurements, and anthropometry. Moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was defined as a respiratory event index ≥15, and nocturnal hypoxemia was quantified as percent sleep time with <90% oxyhemoglobin saturation. Prevalent hypertension was defined as either a systolic BP ≥130 mm Hg or diastolic BP >80mm Hg, use of antihypertensive medication, or self-report of a diagnosis of hypertension. Controlled BP was defined as systolic BP <130 mm Hg and diastolic BP <80 mm Hg; uncontrolled BP as systolic BP ≥130 mm Hg or diastolic BP ≥80 mm Hg with use of 1 to 2 classes of antihypertensive medication; and resistant BP as systolic BP ≥130 mm Hg or diastolic BP ≥80 mm Hg with the use of ≥3 classes of antihypertensive medication (including a diuretic) or use of ≥4 classes of antihypertensive medication regardless of BP level. Multinomial logistic regression models were fit to determine the association between OSA severity and uncontrolled BP or resistant hypertension (versus controlled BP) after multivariable adjustment. RESULTS The analytic sample with hypertension (N=664) had a mean age of 64.0 (SD,10.6) years, and were predominately female (69.1%), obese (58.6%), and college educated (51.3%). Among the sample, 25.7% had OSA, which was untreated in 94% of participants. Overall, 48% of participants had uncontrolled hypertension and 14% had resistant hypertension. After adjustment for confounders, participants with moderate or severe OSA had a 2.0 times higher odds of resistant hypertension (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14-3.67). Each standard deviation higher than <90% oxyhemoglobin saturation was associated with an adjusted odds ratio for resistant hypertension of 1.25 (95% CI 1.01-1.55). OSA and <90% oxyhemoglobin saturation were not associated with uncontrolled BP. CONCLUSION Untreated moderate or severe OSA is associated with increased odds of resistant hypertension. These results suggest that untreated OSA may contribute to inadequate BP control in blacks.
