Loop Gain as a Predictor of Blood Pressure Response in Patients Treated for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Secondary Analysis of a Clinical Trial. Ann Am Thorac Soc 2024; 21:296-307. [PMID: 37938917 PMCID: PMC10848904 DOI: 10.1513/annalsats.202305-437oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Randomized trials have shown inconsistent cardiovascular benefits from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) therapy. Intermittent hypoxemia can increase both sympathetic nerve activity and loop gain ("ventilatory instability"), which may thus herald cardiovascular treatment benefit. Objectives: To test the hypothesis that loop gain predicts changes in 24-hour mean blood pressure (MBP) in response to OSA therapy and compare its predictive value against that of other novel biomarkers. Methods: The HeartBEAT (Heart Biomarker Evaluation in Apnea Treatment) trial assessed the effect of 12 weeks of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) versus oxygen versus control on 24-hour MBP. We measured loop gain and hypoxic burden from sleep tests and identified subjects with a sleepy phenotype using cluster analysis. Associations between biomarkers and 24-h MBP were assessed in the CPAP/oxygen arms using linear regression models adjusting for various covariates. Secondary outcomes and predictors were analyzed similarly. Results: We included 93 and 94 participants in the CPAP and oxygen arms, respectively. Overall, changes in 24-hour MBP were small, but interindividual variability was substantial (mean [standard deviation], -2 [8] and 1 [8] mm Hg in the CPAP and oxygen arms, respectively). Higher loop gain was significantly associated with greater reductions in 24-hour MBP independent of covariates in the CPAP arm (-1.5 to -1.9 mm Hg per 1-standard-deviation increase in loop gain; P ⩽ 0.03) but not in the oxygen arm. Other biomarkers were not associated with improved cardiovascular outcomes. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first study suggesting that loop gain predicts blood pressure response to CPAP therapy. Eventually, loop gain estimates may facilitate patient selection for research and clinical practice. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01086800).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation and interpretation of the literature on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) allows for consolidation and determination of the key factors important for clinical management of the adult OSA patient. Toward this goal, an international collaborative of multidisciplinary experts in sleep apnea evaluation and treatment have produced the International Consensus statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (ICS:OSA). METHODS Using previously defined methodology, focal topics in OSA were assigned as literature review (LR), evidence-based review (EBR), or evidence-based review with recommendations (EBR-R) formats. Each topic incorporated the available and relevant evidence which was summarized and graded on study quality. Each topic and section underwent iterative review and the ICS:OSA was created and reviewed by all authors for consensus. RESULTS The ICS:OSA addresses OSA syndrome definitions, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors for disease, screening methods, diagnostic testing types, multiple treatment modalities, and effects of OSA treatment on multiple OSA-associated comorbidities. Specific focus on outcomes with positive airway pressure (PAP) and surgical treatments were evaluated. CONCLUSION This review of the literature consolidates the available knowledge and identifies the limitations of the current evidence on OSA. This effort aims to create a resource for OSA evidence-based practice and identify future research needs. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities include improving the metrics of OSA disease, determining the optimal OSA screening paradigms, developing strategies for PAP adherence and longitudinal care, enhancing selection of PAP alternatives and surgery, understanding health risk outcomes, and translating evidence into individualized approaches to therapy.

The effectiveness of supplemental oxygen and high-flow nasal cannula therapy in patients with obstructive sleep apnea in different clinical settings: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Clin Anesth 2023; 88:111144. [PMID: 37172556 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2023.111144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of supplemental oxygen therapy and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in different clinical settings to assess its application to surgical patients in the postoperative setting. DESIGN A systematic search was conducted on MEDLINE and other databases from 1946 to December 16th, 2021. Title and abstract screening were conducted independently, and the lead investigators resolved conflicts. Meta-analyses were performed using a random-effects model and are presented as mean difference and standardized mean difference with 95% confidence intervals. These were calculated using RevMan 5.4. PATIENTS 1395 and 228 OSA patients underwent oxygen therapy and HFNC therapy respectively. INTERVENTIONS Oxygen therapy and HFNC therapy. MEASUREMENTS Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2), cumulative time with SPO2 < 90% (CT90). MAIN RESULTS Twenty-seven oxygen therapy studies were included in the review, with ten randomized controlled trials (RCT), seven randomized crossovers, seven non-randomized crossovers, and three prospective cohorts. Pooled analyses showed that oxygen therapy significantly reduced AHI by 31% and increased SpO2 by 5% versus baseline, and CPAP significantly reduced AHI by 84%, and increased SpO2 by 3% versus baseline. CPAP was 53% more effective in reducing AHI than oxygen therapy, but both treatments had similar effectiveness in increasing SpO2. Nine HFNC studies were included in the review, with five prospective cohorts, three randomized crossovers, and one RCT. Pooled analyses showed that HFNC therapy significantly reduced AHI by 36% but did not substantially increase SpO2. CONCLUSIONS Oxygen therapy effectively reduces AHI and increases SpO2 in patients with OSA. CPAP is more effective in reducing AHI than oxygen therapy. HFNC therapy is effective in reducing AHI. Although both oxygen therapy and HFNC therapy effectively reduce AHI, more research is needed to draw conclusions on clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The prevalence of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is reportedly very high. Among SDBs, the incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is higher than previously believed, with patients having moderate-to-severe OSA accounting for approximately 20% of adult males and 10% of postmenopausal women not only in Western countries but also in Eastern countries, including Japan. Since 1998, when health insurance coverage became available, the number of patients using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for sleep apnea has increased sharply, with the number of patients about to exceed 500,000 in Japan. Although the "Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) in Adults" was published in 2005, a new guideline was prepared in order to indicate the standard medical care based on the latest trends, as supervised by and in cooperation with the Japanese Respiratory Society and the "Survey and Research on Refractory Respiratory Diseases and Pulmonary Hypertension" Group, of Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and other related academic societies, including the Japanese Society of Sleep Research, in addition to referring to the previous guidelines. Because sleep apnea is an interdisciplinary field covering many areas, this guideline was prepared including 36 clinical questions (CQs). In the English version, therapies and managements for SAS, which were written from CQ16 to 36, were shown. The Japanese version was published in July 2020 and permitted as well as published as one of the Medical Information Network Distribution Service (Minds) clinical practice guidelines in Japan in July 2021.

Effect of One Night of Nocturnal Oxygen Supplementation on Highland Patients With OSA: A Randomized, Crossover Trial. Chest 2021; 160:690-700. [PMID: 33667495 DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2021.02.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2020] [Revised: 02/09/2021] [Accepted: 02/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of OSA in highland residents is not established. RESEARCH QUESTIONS Does nocturnal oxygen supplementation (NOS) improve sleep-related breathing disturbances, nocturnal oxygenation, and cognitive performance in patients with OSA living at 3,200 m? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Forty patients with OSA permanently living in Shangri-La, China at 3,200 m (median age [interquartile range], 47.0 [44.0-53.0] years; oxygen desaturation index, 38.4/h [34.2/h-52.3/h]), were randomly assigned to receive nasal NOS and sham oxygen (ambient air), for one night each, at 2 L/min, in a crossover design, separated by a washout period of 2 weeks. During treatment nights polysomnography was performed, and further outcomes were evaluated the next morning. The primary outcome was the difference in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) between nights with NOS and nights with sham oxygen. RESULTS During nights with sham oxygen, the median (interquartile range) total AHI was 43.4/h (31.1/h-67.5/h), the obstructive AHI was 41.9/h (28.5/h-66.8/h), and the central AHI was 0.6/h (0.1/h-1.3/h); blood oxygenation as determined by pulse oximetry (Spo2) was 87.0% (84.5%-89.0%). In intention-to-treat analysis, NOS decreased the total AHI by a median of 17.9/h (95% CI, 8.0/h-27.1/h; P < .001), through a reduction in obstructive AHI by 16.0/h (95% CI, 6.8/h-26.0/h; P < .001) and central AHI by 0.4/h (95% CI, 0.1/h-0.9/h; P < .001). NOS also increased Spo2 by 7.0% (95% CI, 6.0%-8.0%; P < .001). Heart rate during sleep and pulse rate in the morning after NOS were significantly reduced, but subjective sleep quality and cognitive performance showed no changes. INTERPRETATION In highland residents with OSA, NOS significantly improved sleep-related breathing disturbances and nocturnal oxygenation. NOS also reduced heart rate during sleep and morning pulse rate. If these beneficial effects are confirmed in longer term studies, NOS may be a treatment option for highland patients with OSA who cannot be treated by CPAP.

Abstract
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is highly prevalent in adults and leads to significant cardiovascular and neurologic sequelae. Intermittent hypoxia during sleep is a direct consequence of SDB. Administration of nocturnal supplemental oxygen (NSO) has been used as a therapeutic alternative to positive airway pressure (PAP) in SDB. NSO significantly improves oxygen saturation in OSA but is inferior to PAP in terms of reducing apnea severity and may prolong the duration of obstructive apneas. The effect of NSO on daytime sleepiness remains unclear, but NSO may improve physical function-related quality of life in OSA. Its effects on BP reduction remain inconclusive. The effects of NSO vs PAP in OSA with comorbid COPD (overlap syndrome) are unknown. NSO is effective in reducing central sleep apnea related to congestive heart failure; however, its impact on mortality and cardiovascular clinical outcomes are being investigated in an ongoing clinical trial. In conclusion, studies are inconclusive or limited regarding clinical outcomes with oxygen therapy compared with sham or PAP therapy in patients with OSA and overlap syndrome. Oxygen does mitigate central sleep apnea. This review examines the crucial knowledge gaps and suggests future research priorities to clarify the effects of optimal dose and duration of NSO, alone or in combination with PAP, on cardiovascular, sleep, and cognitive outcomes.

Abstract
Although snoring is common in the general population, its aetiology has been largely understudied. Here we report a genetic study on snoring (n ~ 408,000; snorers ~ 152,000) using data from the UK Biobank. We identify 42 genome-wide significant loci, with an SNP-based heritability estimate of ~10% on the liability scale. Genetic correlations with body mass index, alcohol intake, smoking, schizophrenia, anorexia nervosa and neuroticism are observed. Gene-based associations identify 173 genes, including DLEU7, MSRB3 and POC5, highlighting genes expressed in the brain, cerebellum, lungs, blood and oesophagus. We use polygenic scores (PGS) to predict recent snoring and probable obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in an independent Australian sample (n ~ 8000). Mendelian randomization analyses suggest a potential causal relationship between high BMI and snoring. Altogether, our results uncover insights into the aetiology of snoring as a complex sleep-related trait and its role in health and disease beyond it being a cardinal symptom of OSA. Snoring is common in the population and tends to be more prevalent in older and/or male individuals. Here, the authors perform GWAS for habitual snoring, identify 41 genomic loci and explore potential causal relationships with anthropometric and cardiometabolic disease traits.

Targeting Endotypic Traits with Medications for the Pharmacological Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. A Review of the Current Literature. J Clin Med 2019; 8:jcm8111846. [PMID: 31684047 PMCID: PMC6912255 DOI: 10.3390/jcm8111846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 51] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2019] [Revised: 10/29/2019] [Accepted: 10/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent condition with few therapeutic options. To date there is no approved pharmacotherapy for this disorder, but several attempts have been made in the past and are currently ongoing to find one. The recent identification of multiple endotypes underlying this disorder has oriented the pharmacological research towards tailored therapies targeting specific pathophysiological traits that contribute differently to cause OSA in each patient. In this review we retrospectively analyze the literature on OSA pharmacotherapy dividing the medications tested on the basis of the four main endotypes: anatomy, upper airway muscle activity, arousal threshold and ventilatory instability (loop gain). We show how recently introduced drugs for weight loss that modify upper airway anatomy may play an important role in the management of OSA in the near future, and promising results have been obtained with drugs that increase upper airway muscle activity during sleep and reduce loop gain. The lack of a medication that can effectively increase the arousal threshold makes this strategy less encouraging, although recent studies have shown that the use of certain sedatives do not worsen OSA severity and could actually improve patients' sleep quality.

J Sleep Res 2019; 29:e12934. [PMID: 31642144 DOI: 10.1111/jsr.12934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2019] [Revised: 09/25/2019] [Accepted: 09/25/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Prolonged duration of obstructive apnea (OA) has been observed in highlanders after descending to low altitude. It is proposed that due to adaptation to a hypoxic high-altitude environment, Tibetan highlanders (TH) and Han highlanders (HH) would manifest different OA durations at low altitude as compared to Han lowlanders (HL). Data collection on consecutive obstructive sleep apnea patients (167 TH, 210 HH and 233 HL) was performed over a period of 8 years in Chengdu (altitude 500 m). The analyses were performed with non-matched groups and with body mass index and apnea-hypopnea index-matched groups. Significance rankings for mean duration of OA (s) in non-matched groups and matched groups were TH (27.7; 28.6) = HH (25.7; 26.0) > HL (21.7; 21.3), respectively. For the longest OA duration, the significance rankings across three groups with regard to the percentage of patients having a duration longer than 2 min (%) and mean values (s) were TH (26.9; 82) > HH (10.0; 67) > HL (1.3; 50). In terms of nadir and mean oxygen saturation, significant differences were found between TH and HH or HL. In addition, longest and mean OA duration were positively correlated with blood pressure and heart rate, whereas nadir and mean oxygen saturation were negatively correlated with these measures in both non-matched and matched groups, and the correlation was more robust in TH. These findings raise important clinical questions regarding whether such significant prolongation of OA duration and a more severe hypoxic burden among highlanders, especially in TH, may lead to adverse clinical consequences when at low altitude.

Independent relationships between cardinal features of obstructive sleep apnea and glycometabolism: a cross-sectional study. Metabolism 2018; 85:340-347. [PMID: 29382505 DOI: 10.1016/j.metabol.2017.11.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2017] [Revised: 11/15/2017] [Accepted: 11/21/2017] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with abnormal glycometabolism; however, the cardinal features of OSA, such as sleep fragmentation (SF) and intermittent hypoxia (IH), have yet to show clear, independent associations with glycometabolism. METHODS We enrolled 1834 participants with suspected OSA from July 2008 to July 2013 to participate in this study. Polysomnographic variables, biochemical indicators, and physical measurements were collected for each participant. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to evaluate independent associations between cardinal features of OSA and glycometabolism. Logistic regressions were used to determine the odds ratios (ORs) for abnormal glucose metabolism across microarousal index (MAI) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) quartiles. The effect of the interaction between MAI and ODI on glycometabolism was also evaluated. RESULTS The MAI was independently associated with fasting insulin levels (β = 0.024, p = 0.001) and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR; β = 0.006, p = 0.002) after multiple adjustments of confounding factors. In addition, the ORs for hyperinsulinemia across higher MAI quartiles were 1.081, 1.349, and 1.656, compared with the lowest quartile (p = 0.015 for a linear trend). Similarly, the ODI was independently associated with fasting glucose levels (β = 0.003, p < 0.001), fasting insulin levels (β = 0.037, p < 0.001), and the HOMA-IR (β = 0.010, p < 0.001) after adjusting for multiple factors. The ORs for hyperglycemia across higher ODI quartiles were 1.362, 1.231, and 2.184, compared with the lowest quartile (p < 0.05 for a linear trend). In addition, the ORs for hyperinsulinemia and abnormal HOMA-IR across ODI quartiles had the same trends. There was no interaction between MAI and ODI with respect to glycometabolism. CONCLUSION SF was independently associated with hyperinsulinemia, and IH was independently associated with hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and an abnormal HOMA-IR. We found no interaction between SF and IH with respect to OSA-related abnormal glycometabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxemia is an immediate consequence of obstructive sleep apnea. Oxygen (O2) administration has been used as an alternative treatment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who do not adhere to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in order to reduce the deleterious effects of intermittent hypoxemia during sleep. This systematic review aims to investigate the effects of O2 therapy on patients with OSA. METHOD We conducted a systematic search of the databases Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (1(st) Quarter 2011), Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (from 1950 to February 2011). Our search strategy yielded 4,793 citations. Irrelevant papers were excluded by title and abstract review, leaving 105 manuscripts. We reviewed all prospective studies that included: (1) a target population with obstructive sleep apnea, (2) O2 therapy and/or CPAP as a study intervention, (3) the effects of O2 on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), nocturnal hypoxemia, or apnea duration. RESULTS We identified 14 studies including a total of 359 patients. Nine studies were of single cohort design, while 5 studies were randomized control trials with 3 groups (CPAP, oxygen, and placebo/sham CPAP). When CPAP was compared to O2 therapy, all but one showed a significant improvement in AHI. Ten studies demonstrated that O2 therapy improved oxygen saturation vs. placebo. However, the average duration of apnea and hypopnea episodes were longer in patients receiving O2 therapy than those receiving placebo. CONCLUSION This review shows that O2 therapy significantly improves oxygen saturation in patients with OSA. However, it may also increase the duration of apnea-hypopnea events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to find a combination of noninvasive treatments for snoring by adding weight loss to previously studied treatments, including the combination of sleeping on one's side and using a decongestant nasal spray. STUDY POPULATION Twenty asymptomatic men who snore heavily were studied previously on a control night and on a night when they slept on their side and used a nasal spray. With these two treatments, minor improvements in apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) were seen, but no improvement occurred in snoring frequency. Nineteen of these subjects subsequently completed a 6-month weight loss program, and 12 lost weight. These 19 subjects comprise the study population of this report. STUDY DESIGN At the conclusion of the weight loss program, a repeated sleep study was done from which the effect of adding weight loss to the two previously studied treatments could be assessed. RESULTS Those 12 subjects who lost any amount of weight showed a very mild reduction in snores per hour from 328 using two modalities of treatment to 232 per hour with the addition of weight loss (p = 0.15). The nine subjects who lost > or = 3 kg reduced the number of snores per hour from 320 to 176 (p = 0.0496). Three subjects losing an average of only 7.6 kg showed virtual elimination of snoring after weight loss. Subjects who gained weight had no improvement in snoring. Weight loss added to the other two modalities of treatment had no effect on the AHI. CONCLUSION In most cases, the combination of weight loss, sleeping on one's side, and the administration of a nasal decongestant significantly reduces the frequency of snoring in asymptomatic men who snore heavily. The major effect appears to be related to weight loss.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine whether snoring adversely affects sleep architecture and sleep efficiency, and thus may account for the frequent complaints of daytime tiredness and fatigue expressed by heavy snorers. We recruited eight self-confessed heavy snorers and six self-confessed nonsnorers. All subjects had full nocturnal polysomnography, including continuous monitoring of snoring, which was quantified by counting the number of snores per hour of sleep (snoring index), the number of snores per minute of snoring time (snoring frequency), maximal and mean nocturnal sound intensity (dBmax and dBmean, respectively). We found that even the self-confessed nonsnorers snored lightly, with significantly smaller frequency and index than the heavy snorers. Sleep architecture was similar in both groups. Distribution of snoring among the sleep stages differed for light and heavy snorers: light snorers snored uniformly throughout all sleep stages, whereas heavy snorers tended to snore more during slow-wave and REM sleep. Snoring frequency and snoring index were similar during all sleep stages in light snorers, but they were higher during slow-wave sleep in heavy snorers. Wakefulness time after sleep onset and sleep efficiency correlated significantly with the snoring index. We conclude that although snoring does not affect sleep architecture in general, it influences sleep efficiency and wakefulness time after sleep onset; this may have an adverse effect on daytime function of heavy snorers.

Abstract
Normal sleep provides a period of physiologically reduced workload for the cardiovascular system for almost one third of the human life span. Snoring, the most common disorder of sleep, heralds the presence of an unstable upper airway and alerts perceptive clinicians to the possibility of OSA. Epidemiologic evidence has implicated snoring as an independent risk factor for the development of hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and cerebral infarction. However, many investigators would attribute these adverse cardiovascular effects to the substantial prevalence of OSA in habitual snorers. The detrimental effects of OSA on hemodynamics and cardiac rhythm have been well documented, and recent data have linked OSA with increased cardiovascular mortality. Worsening hypoxemia during sleep likely contributes to the nocturnal mortality observed in patients with severe COPD. Effective treatment to prevent nocturnal hypoxemia is available for OSA and COPD, with current evidence supporting beneficial effects on survival.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine whether nasal oxygen therapy at 2 L/min would (1) reverse nocturnal hypoxemia and (2) improve neuropsychologic function in men who snore heavily. DESIGN To select heavy-snoring subjects for a treatment protocol, volunteers were screened for one night, breathing air the first half and oxygen the second half of the night. If nocturnal oxygen desaturation occurred in the first half and was improved in the second half of the night, the subject entered a two-month treatment program. In random order, either nocturnal air or nocturnal oxygen was administered for one month each at 2 L/min in a double-blind crossover design. Neuropsychologic testing was done before and after each month. SETTING Oxygen concentrators were modified to produce either greater than 96 percent oxygen or air at 2 L/min. Machines were delivered to the home of the subject and the machines were used each night, administering inspirate by nasal cannula. PARTICIPANTS Seventeen asymptomatic men who snored heavily and volunteered for minimal payment of $75. INTERVENTIONS Air was administered for one month, and oxygen was administered for one month. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS On the screening night, oxygen administration did not improve obstructive sleep apnea, but did improve oxygenation. After one month of oxygen therapy at night, there was no significant benefit to multiple measures of neuropsychologic function. CONCLUSION In this study, oxygen therapy at night had no effect on neuropsychologic function in men who snore heavily.

Abstract
Patients with sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) show cardiac dysrhythmias in association with cyclical nocturnal hypoxemia; are they at risk of dying during sleep? To assess this claim, we reviewed the clinical course of 91 patients with polysomnographically documented SAS between July 1978 and June 1986. A control group was comprised of 35 patients who were referred with symptoms suggestive of SAS but had negative sleep studies. Follow-up was obtained by survey questionnaire. Nine of 91 SAS and four of 35 control patients had died by completion of the study. There were no statistically significant differences in mortality between the two groups. None of the SAS patients died in their sleep, but they reported a higher incidence of disability and vehicular mishaps than did control subjects. The findings in this study do not support the hypothesis that SAS patients are at increased risk of dying in their sleep.
