Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) can occur in both rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep or be limited to REM sleep, when the upper airway is most prone to collapse due to REM sleep atonia. Respiratory events are usually longer and more desaturating in REM than in NREM sleep. The prevalence of REM OSA is higher in women than in men and REM OSA usually occurs in the context of mild-moderate OSA based on the apnoea-hypopnoea index calculated for the entire sleep study. Studies have highlighted some detrimental consequences of REM OSA; for example, its frequent association with systemic hypertension and a degree of excessive daytime sleepiness similar to that found in nonsleep-stage-dependent OSA. Moreover, REM OSA could increase cardiometabolic risk. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment aimed at preventing REM OSA should be longer than the 4 h usually considered as good compliance, since REM sleep occurs mostly during the second half of the night. Unfortunately, patients with REM OSA show poor adherence to CPAP. Alternative non-CPAP treatments might be a good choice for REM OSA, but data are lacking. This review summarises the available data on REM OSA and critically examines the weaknesses and strengths of existing literature.

Abstract
PURPOSE This article focuses on recent evidence linking rapid eye movement (REM) obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (REM-OSA) to neurocognitive dysfunction and mood changes; the proposed mechanisms for increased risk of neurocognitive dysfunction in REM-OSA, and future research prospects. METHODS PubMed and Google Scholar records were examined for articles utilizing pre-defined keywords. In this work, we mainly included studies published after 2017; nevertheless, critical studies published prior to 2017 were considered. RESULTS REM-OSA is an under-recognized stage-related sleep-disordered breathing in which obstructive respiratory events happen chiefly in stage REM. The disorder is commonly seen amongst younger patients and females and has recently been linked to cardiometabolic complications. Although less symptomatic than non-REM-OSA and non-stage-specific OSA, current findings indicate that REM-OSA may have neurocognitive repercussions and mood changes and could be linked to insomnia, increased dreams, and nightmares. CONCLUSION Currently available evidence indicates that REM-OSA may present with insomnia and nightmares and could affect cognitive function and mood.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to explore the clinical and polysomnographic characteristics of OSA patients with hypertension and to explore the gender differences in the relationship between rapid eye movement (REM) OSA and hypertension. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 808 patients with OSA at a tertiary hospital were enrolled in this study, and OSA patients were divided into groups presenting with or without hypertension. The clinical and polysomnographic characteristics were compared between the groups. Multivariate binary logistic analysis was performed to assess the association between REM OSA and hypertension. RESULTS After adjustment for potential confounders, the risk of hypertension in patients with OSA increased with severity categories of apnea hypopnea index during rapid eye movement sleep stage (REM AHI) (OR = 1.61 for REM AHI ≥58.87 events/h relative to REM AHI <30.50 events/h, 95% CI 1.07-2.42, P = 0.022). Consistent with this, when taken as a continuous variable, this association still remains significant (OR = 1.007, 95% CI 1.001-1.014, P < 0.05). This effect was more pronounced in women patients, the OR for REM AHI ≥57.24 events/h relative to REM AHI <30.36 events/h was 2.79 (95% CI, 1.16-6.73; P = 0.022); however, there was no significant difference in male patients. CONCLUSION REM AHI was significantly and positively associated with hypertension in patients with OSA, and the effect was more pronounced in female patients.

[PMID: 34629918 PMCID: PMC8493274 DOI: 10.2147/nss.s332117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Clinical and population-based studies have demonstrated a strong association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Anatomical abnormalities of the craniofacial region and upper airway are important risk factors for OSA. The objective of this study was to investigate the association of craniofacial and upper airway morphology with CVD risk biomarkers. METHODS One hundred and sixty-nine male patients with OSA underwent in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG) and upper airway computed tomography (CT) scanning. Ten-year Framingham CVD risk score (FRS) was calculated and categorized into low- and moderate-to-high-risk groups. N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was measured as a biomarker of increased myocardial wall stress. RESULTS Compared to the low-risk group, total sleep time (TST), the proportion of N3 (N3%) and mean oxygen saturation (SpO2mean) were lower, while the arousal index of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, apnea index (AI) of NREM sleep, apnea hypopnea index (AHI) of NREM sleep, oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and percentage of total sleep time spent with oxyhemoglobin saturation below 90% (TST90) were higher in the moderate-to-high risk group. The corrected upper airway length (UAL), ANB angle and gonion-gnathion-hyoid angle were larger for subjects in the moderate-to-high risk group than those in the low-risk group. In multiple regression analysis, TST, AINREM and adjusted UAL were independently associated with moderate-to-high CVD risk. Plasma NT-proBNP levels were higher in patients in the moderate- to high-risk group, and among the PSG and CT scan parameters, only SPO2mean was marginally associated with NT-proBNP (r=0.183, P=0.054). CONCLUSION Craniofacial and upper airway features may contain valid cues about CVD risk, and sleep duration, obstructive event type and occurrence phase may be closely related to CVD risk for patients with OSA.
