Abstract
BACKGROUND /Objective: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) may change from the acute to stable phase of some cardiovascular disorders, but little is known whether these dynamic changes also exist in pulmonary embolism (PE). This study aimed to analyze the changes in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) from the acute to stable phase of PE as well as the factors associated. PATIENTS/METHODS We conducted a prospective, longitudinal and multicenter study of consecutive adults requiring hospitalization for non-hypotensive acute PE, with a protocol including clinical, imaging (transthoracic echocardiography [TTE] and computed tomography), blood tests and a sleep study within 48 h of diagnosis of PE. After 3 months of follow-up, the sleep study was repeated. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction was defined according to TTE criteria. RESULTS One hundred and eleven patients (mean age [SD]: 63 [15] years; body mass index: 28.4 [4.7] kg/m2) were included. The initial AHI was 24.4 (21.8) events/h (AHI≥5: 82.8 %; AHI≥30: 33.3 %). Seventy-seven patients (69.4 %) had RV dysfunction. In the overall cohort, the AHI decreased by 8.7 events/h from the acute to stable phase (24.4/h vs. 15.7/h; p=0.013). Patients with RV dysfunction showed a greater decrease in AHI (mean decrease 12.3/h vs. 0.43/h). In the multivariable analysis a drop of an AHI≥5 events/hour was independently associated with the presence of initial RV dysfunction (hazard ratio 3.9; 95%CI 1.3 to 12.1). CONCLUSIONS In hemodynamically stable patients with acute PE, there is a transient but clinically significant decrease in the AHI from the acute to stable phase, particularly when initially presenting with RV dysfunction.

Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on Disease Severity and Adverse Outcomes in Patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism. Nat Sci Sleep 2023; 15:705-717. [PMID: 37743933 PMCID: PMC10516206 DOI: 10.2147/nss.s423221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) poses a life-threatening risk with high mortality rates. While the coexistence of PE and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is gaining recognition, its influence on PE severity and prognosis remains uncertain. This study aims to investigate the associations between OSA and disease severity, as well as outcomes, in patients with acute PE. Patients and Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study on patients diagnosed with acute PE who had undergone previous cardiorespiratory polygraphy. OSA severity was assessed using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) derived from cardiorespiratory polygraphy. The severity of acute PE was evaluated using the simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI) score. Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the associations between AHI and the risk of belonging to the sPESI≥1 group. Cox regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between AHI and long-term adverse events, defined as a composite of all-cause mortality and non-fatal cardiovascular events. Results Among 145 acute PE patients (mean age 62.2 years, 49.7% male), 94 (64.8%) had OSA. Patients with OSA had a significantly higher proportion of sPESI≥1 (89.4% vs 68.6%, p=0.002) than non-OSA patients. Each unit increase in AHI was associated with a 15% increased risk of severe PE (sPESI≥1) (odds ratio: 1.15, 95% CI 1.05-1.26, p=0.002) after adjusting for confounders. During a median follow-up of 15.2 months, 27 (18.6%) patients experienced adverse events. Increased AHI independently predicted a higher risk of adverse events (hazard ratio: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.00-1.05, p=0.026), even after adjusting for potential confounders. AHI ≥8 events/h was associated with a significantly higher adjusted hazard ratio of 2.56 (95% CI: 1.15-5.72, p=0.022) for adverse events compared to AHI <8 events. Conclusion OSA is common in acute PE patients and is linked to increased disease severity and adverse outcomes. Implementing routine OSA screening and management may aid risk stratification and improve outcomes in acute PE patients.

Changes in platelet count and coagulation parameters in children with obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep Breath 2021; 26:871-878.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and coagulation status and to speculate on the underlying mechanism in children with OSA. METHODS We divided 345 children with OSA (age 2-14 years) into four groups according to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). We compared platelet (PLT) and coagulation parameters among groups. Correlations between the polysomnography parameters and coagulation parameters were investigated. RESULTS Children with OSA had higher PLT counts than those without OSA (P < 0.001), while no significant difference was observed in prothrombin time, international normalized ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time, or fibrinogen among children with/without OSA. In linear regression analysis, the AHI and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) presented positive correlation with the PLT count (R2 = 0.155, beta = 0.307, P < 0.001 and R2 = 0.113, beta = 0.262, P < 0.001), and there was no correlation among the AHI, ODI, and other coagulation parameters. The minimum and mean oxygen saturation of arterial blood manifested negative correlation with the PLT count (R2 = 0.076, beta = - 0.116, P = 0.034 and R2 = 0.083, beta = - 0.140, P = 0.008, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Children with OSA have a higher PLT count, positively correlated with OSA severity, and no evidence of coagulation disorder.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, stroke, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and venous thromboembolism. Elevated soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin) levels are also associated with increased risk of above diseases. But whether sP-selectin levels in OSA patients are higher than their counterparts remain unclear, since previous studies yielded inconsistent results. Therefore, a meta-analysis is warranted. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched for eligible studies. Studies were included if they reported sP-selectin levels of both OSA patients and non-OSA controls. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to determine the effect sizes. RESULTS Nine eligible studies were finally evaluated. When all the studies were pooled, sP-selectin levels in OSA patients were significantly higher than that in controls (SMD = 0.54, 95% CI 0.29-0.78, I2 = 66%, p < 0.0001). In the subgroup analysis based on BMI matched groups, sP-selectin levels were significantly higher in OSA patients than that in controls (SMD = 0.52, 95% CI 0.27-0.76, I2 = 23%, p < 0.0001). In the subgroup analysis stratified by blood source, either serum sP-selectin levels or plasma sP-selectin levels in OSA patients were higher than that in controls. Moderate-to-severe OSA patients had significant higher sP-selectin levels (SMD = 0.80, 95% CI 0.45-1.15, I2 = 67%, p < 0.00001), while mild OSA patients showed no significant difference with controls. CONCLUSION The pooled results reveal that OSA patients have higher sP-selectin levels than non-OSA controls. This conclusion remains unaltered in all subgroups other than the subgroup of mild OSA patients. Additional studies are warranted to better identify the role of sP-selectin as a potential biomarker in OSA patients.

Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is increasingly recognized in the aging population, especially with the rising obesity epidemic. The impact of OSA on inpatient mortality in PE is not well understood. We used the Nationwide Inpatient Sample databases from 2005 to 2016 to identify 755,532 acute PE patients (age≥18 years). Among these, 61,050 (8.1%) were OSA+. Temporal trends in length of stay, inpatient mortality, and its association with OSA in PE patients were analyzed. The proportion of PE patients who were OSA+ increased from 2005 to 2016. OSA+ PE patients were younger and predominantly men. Despite a higher prevalence of traditional risk factors for inpatient mortality in OSA+ patients, OSA was associated with a lower risk of mortality in PE patients (odds ratio, 95% confidence interval; p: unadjusted 0.56, 0.53–0.58; p < 0.0001 and adjusted 0.55, 0.52–0.58; p < 0.0001). Overall mortality and length of stay in PE patients decreased over time. Relative to OSA– patients, there was a slight increase in mortality among OSA+ PE patients over time, although the length of stay remained unchanged between the two groups. In conclusion, OSA+ PE patients had a lower inpatient mortality compared to OSA– patients despite a higher prevalence of traditional mortality risk factors. Secondary pulmonary hypertension related to OSA with preconditioning of the right ventricle to elevated afterload may potentially explain the protective effect of OSA on mortality in PE. However, mechanistic studies need to further elucidate the links behind this association.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common disease which is characterised by repetitive collapse of the upper airways during sleep resulting in chronic intermittent hypoxaemia and frequent microarousals, consequently leading to sympathetic overflow, enhanced oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, and metabolic disturbances. OSA is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and accelerated coagulation, platelet activation, and impaired fibrinolysis serve the link between OSA and cardiovascular disease. In this article we briefly describe physiological coagulation and fibrinolysis focusing on processes which could be altered in OSA. Then, we discuss how OSA-associated disturbances, such as hypoxaemia, sympathetic system activation, and systemic inflammation, affect these processes. Finally, we critically review the literature on OSA-related changes in markers of coagulation and fibrinolysis, discuss potential reasons for discrepancies, and comment on the clinical implications and future research needs.

Abstract
PURPOSE The relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and pulmonary embolism (PE) has been reported by some studies but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We aimed to systematically assess the role of OSA on the disease prognosis of PE. METHODS We searched for studies on the relationship of OSA and the prognosis of PE published up to February 2020 among PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. Two independent reviewers conducted the process of study search and screening, quality assessment, and data extraction. Meta-analysis was carried out using RevMan 5.3. RESULTS A total of 9 articles were included, and the funnel plots suggested no evidence of publication bias among studies. The results showed that compared to PE patients without OSA, the PE patients with moderate-severe OSA were more likely to be high-risk type (OR = 1.96, 95% CI [1.14, 3.34]) and with higher index of disease severity (sPESI: OR = 2.29, 95% CI [1.50, 3.47]; PAOI%: MD = 13.52, 95% CI [7.2, 19.83]). The prevalence of recurrent PE was higher in PE patients with OSA than those without OSA (RR = 3.87, 95% CI [1.65, 9.07]). However, there was no significant difference in right ventricle to left ventricle short-axis diameter (MD = 0.08, 95% CI [- 0.06, 0.21]), length of hospital stay (MD = 1.03, 95% CI [- 1.11, 3.17]), or prevalence of deep vein thrombosis (OR = 0.87, 95% CI [0.48, 1.57]). Sensitivity and subgroup analysis showed that the pooled outcomes were stable. CONCLUSION OSA, especially moderate-severe OSA, was a risk factor for high-risk PE and recurrent PE. However, the current evidence showed that the length of hospital stay is not influenced by OSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies revealed that the prothrombotic factors in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remain controversial. AIM/OBJECTIVE The aim of the systematic review is to elucidate the relationship between prothrombotic factors and OSA. MATERIALS AND METHODS This systematic review was performed under the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. The literature we investigated was extracted from 4 main medical databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Chinese databases) as of February 2020. We used significant weighted mean differences (SMDs) with 95% CIs from random-effects model. RESULTS A total of 15 studies comprising 2190 patients were available for the meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that the levels of fibrinogen (SMD = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.26 to 1.65, P = .000), vascular endothelial growth factor (SMD = 0.37, 95% CI = -0.90 to 1.63, P = .000), and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (SMD = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.29 to 0.92, P = .040) increased in patients with OSA. There were no statistical differences between groups in terms of d-dimer (P = .108) and platelet counts (P = .233). Subgroup analyses demonstrated that specimen types and age could account for the heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE This meta-analysis indicated the relationship between prothrombotic factors in OSA hypopnea. Obstructive sleep apnea-related effects may underline the importance of considering the dysfunction of the hemostatic system. The prothrombotic factors in OSA can influence making a choice of appropriate therapy.

Obstructive sleep apnea and venous thromboembolism: Overview of an emerging relationship. Sleep Med Rev 2019; 50:101233. [PMID: 31838272 DOI: 10.1016/j.smrv.2019.101233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2018] [Revised: 11/05/2019] [Accepted: 11/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a risk factor for cardiovascular syndromes. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a chronic disease, and pulmonary embolism (PE) is the major expression of VTE and the third most frequent cardiovascular disease. An increasing and emerging number of cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have linked OSA to VTE, and have postulated different putative pathways to explain how OSA might increase the risk of PE. We aim to provide a critical overview of the existing evidence about the complex relationship between these two conditions, with some factors and confounding variables still to be clarified. A global interpretation of the studies shows OSA is highly prevalent in VTE patients. This association represents a major public health burden, given the high prevalence and the mortality rates of both disorders. Although still not proven, OSA may induce a persistent hypercoagulable state that may contribute to increase VTE rate and its recurrence. Coagulant activity, platelet function and fibrinolytic system may improve after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in OSA. However, there is a still a lack of randomized controlled trials to evaluate the potential of CPAP and/or extend oral anticoagulation to reduce PE incidence, recurrence and mortality by PE in patients with OSA.

Abstract
D-dimer is a soluble fibrin degradation product deriving from the plasmin-mediated degradation of cross-linked fibrin. D-dimer can hence be considered a biomarker of activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis, and it is routinely used for ruling out venous thromboembolism (VTE). D-dimer is increasingly used to assess the risk of VTE recurrence and to help define the optimal duration of anticoagulation treatment in patients with VTE, for diagnosing disseminated intravascular coagulation, and for screening medical patients at increased risk of VTE. This review is aimed at (1) revising the definition of D-dimer; (2) discussing preanalytical variables affecting the measurement of D-dimer; (3) reviewing and comparing assay performance and some postanalytical variables (e.g. different units and age-adjusted cutoffs); and (4) discussing the use of D-dimer measurement across different clinical settings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may have prothrombotic effects. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of OSA on disease severity, pulmonary artery thrombus load, and prognosis in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS In 101 PE patients, disease severity was determined by the simplified PE severity index (sPESI) score, pulmonary artery thrombus load was quantified by the pulmonary artery obstruction index (PAOI), and sleep-disordered breathing was evaluated by nocturnal polygraphy. RESULTS Obstructive sleep apnea patients with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15/h cohort were significantly older (p < 0.001) and had significantly lower oxygen saturations (p = 0.008) when acute PE was diagnosed. The sPESI scores (p < 0.001), the PAOI (p = 0.005) and the N-terminal pro-brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) values (p = 0.009), were significantly higher in the AHI ≥ 15/h subgroup. In a multivariate regression analysis, the AHI remains a significant predictor for sPESI scores ≥ 1 (p = 0.003), increased NT-proBNP levels (p = 0.047), and elevated PAOI (p = 0.032). During the median follow-up time of 53 (interquartile range 38-70) months, all-cause and cardiovascular-related mortality was significantly higher in the AHI ≥ 15/h cohort (p = 0.004 and p = 0.015, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with pulmonary artery thrombus load, disease severity, and survival in acute PE possibly due to its prothrombotic effects.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and pulmonary embolism (PE) remain major health issues worldwide. Data from pathophysiological studies suggest that both intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation are associated with increased blood coagulability, endothelial dysfunction and venous stasis. There is growing evidence that OSA is potentially prevalent in and a risk factor for PE. Conversely, patients with acute PE have two to four times greater risk of moderate-to-severe OSA. The role of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in improving clinically meaningful outcomes in PE patients remains unclear, although some authors have suggested that CPAP could improve the hypercoagulability state and normalise circadian alterations in some of the coagulation molecules, as observed in patients with OSA. Emerging research highlights the complex interdependent relationships between OSA and PE, emphasising the need for rigorous, well-powered trials that address the impact of OSA and its treatment on the prevention and management of PE. Undoubtedly, these will require closer collaboration between the sleep medicine and clinical/venous thromboembolism communities.

Abstract
After the anticoagulant withdrawal, a substantial proportion of patients with venous thromboembolism will develop recurrent events. Whether to consider an extended treatment depends on the risk of recurrence and bleeding risk. The assessment of the individual risk profile remains a difficult task. Several basal and post-basal factors modulate the risk of recurrence and may help clinicians to select patients who can benefit from the extended therapy. During the year 2017, new evidence regarding the post-basal factors was provided by the Morgagni and Scope studies. Another interesting novelty was the VTE-BLEED score, the first bleeding risk score that obtained the external validation in venous thromboembolism setting. In secondary prevention, the use of direct oral anticoagulants is growing instead of vitamin K antagonist. Even at lower doses, direct oral anticoagulants showed to be effective and safe, to reduce all-cause mortality and seemed to be superior to placebo for the composite outcome of fatal bleeding and fatal recurrence. After the recently published Einstein-Choice trial, the role of aspirin has become truly marginal as rivaroxaban 10 mg showed a bleeding risk similar to aspirin 100 mg but a greater effectiveness reducing the relative risk of recurrence by about 70%. Another option for secondary prevention could be sulodexide, with a lower protective effect than direct oral anticoagulants but an interesting safety profile. In conclusion, in our opinion, an individual strategy taking into account the risk of recurrence, bleeding risk, therapeutic options and patient preferences is the most appropriate approach to secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism.
