阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停与抑郁

Obstructive sleep apnea and depression

多项研究提示阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停常伴有抑郁.受评定工具、混杂因素及重叠症状等因素的影响,使得目前对于二者相关性的研究进展缓慢.对阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停伴发抑郁的患者进行早发现并积极治疗,对提高患者生活质量尤为重要.

Many studies discovered that obstructive sleep apnea （OSA） often accompanies depression. The progress of Correlational studies are limited because of the application of different techniques to identify both depressive symptoms and sleep breathing disorders, possible confounders,common symptoms in OSA and depression and so on. It is very important for improving the quality of life of the patients with both OSA and depression to diagnose and treat as early as possible.
