Little information has been reported on the prevalence of OSA and clinical features in activeduty army personnel. This study was aimed to estimate the prevalence of snoring and risk of developing OSA in activeduty army personnel in Thailand and to identify the co-morbidities of OSA. In total, 1107 participants who were aged20–60 years and were deployed to the three southernmost provinces of Thailand were enrolled. All the participants completed the Phramongkutklao(PMK) Hospital OSA Questionnaire that was modified and validated from the Berlin Questionnaire and underwent physical examination. The participants were 1107 active-duty army personnel in the three southernmost provinces of Thailand, both males and females, aged 20–60 years.Methods: The PMK OSA Questionnaire was used to assess the risk of OSA together with interviewing for snoring,fatigue, falling asleep and day-time sleepiness. Physical examination of the neck, chest and hip circumference,and height was performed. Information concerning physical training, co-morbid diseases, smoking and alcoholic consumption was collected.Results: The prevalence of snoring was 58.5, and 4.8% met the PMK OSA Questionnaire criteria, thus indicating a high risk of OSA. The information obtained indicated that laryngopharyngeal reflux(LPR), current smoking and alcoholic consumption were significantly higher in the high-risk OSA group.Conclusions: Early detection and treatment of OSA in active-duty army personnel are imperative. Physical examination and polysomnography can be used to reveal the high-risk group. High body mess index(BMI), laryngopharyngeal reflux, current smoking and alcoholic consumption are modifiable factors for OSA and are avoidable. A policy to decrease the BMI and risk of LPR, as well as to stop smoking and alcoholic consumption, should be applied.展开更多

The WHO data in 2008 state that the prevalence of overweight in UAE is 71%, while it is 61% in the UK, 54% in Germany, and 45% in France. The increasing overweight and obesity in the UAE are closely related to high social-economic development. Accordingly, the medical authority has observed that the rates of hypertension and diabetes mellitus type 2 appear to be one of the highest rates worldwide. We presume that the increase prevalence of obesity in the UAE would be linked to the increase in prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The purpose of this study is to estimate the prevalence of symptoms and risk of OSAS in women followed up in the primary health care (PHC) setting in Dubai and the relationship between obesity and sleep apnea in females in the UAE. DESIGN: Prospective observational community-based survey. SETTING: 20 primary health centers in Dubai. PARTICI-PANTS: Consecutive female patients who were older than 14 years, regardless of the reason of their visit. METHODS: In this prospective survey, trained medical nurse administered the Berlin Questionnaire (which includes questions about self-reported snoring, witnessed apneas, daytime sleepiness, hypertension, and obesity) to a consecutive random sample of female patients in the age group older than 14 years, attending the PHC center in Dubai Health Authority, Dubai, UAE, from September 2011 to March 2012. Based on the questionnaire, individuals were classified into high-risk and low-risk groups for OSAS. RESULTS: Based on the responses and measurement of the Berlin Questionnaire of 704 female subjects studied, 137 respondents met the criteria for the high-risk scoring. This gives a prevalence rate of 19.5% while the remainders of the participants were classified as low risk. The overall mean age of the high risk for OSAS female respondents was 39.95 ± 11.73 years. The highest prevalence was noticed between age group 51 to 60 years. 70% of the high risk group patients had Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 and nearly 75% of the low risk group had BMI 2 and the Mean BMI was 33.59 ± 6.44 kg/m2. CONCLUSIONS: One in five women in Dubai, UAE is at high risk of having OSAS. Awareness by the primary care medical community about this disorder in females should be increased so that the patients would benefit from proper evaluation and treatment of OSAS.展开更多

In the case of young people, and especially students, due to both academic demands and social life, many situations can lead to sleep disturbances. Aim: To evaluate the quality of sleep in medical students and its relationships with technology addiction. Background: Current research indicates that the technology usage by the university students determined an impaired sleep quality and a shortened sleep duration. Method: One hundred eleven second-year students attending medical education were included in the study. Its dependent variable was low sleep quality and independent variables were behavioral factors, smartphone addiction, computer usage, watching TV and other questioned features. A sleep questionnaire to assess the sleep quality in medical students was provided to medical students. This study was conducted in the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Iasi, Romania. Results: The majority of medical students had shorter, irregular sleep duration and consumed energizing and stimulating drinks. Conclusions: In COVID-19 pandemic, the students’ tech addiction associated with the behavioral factors was found as risk factors for poor sleep quality.展开更多

文摘目的本研究通过列线图构建普通人群罹患重度阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(obstructive sleep apnea,OSA)风险的预测模型,探究重度OSA的独立危险因素,指导临床早期诊断和治疗。方法回顾性纳入1656名患者,并按7∶3将其随机分为训练集与验证集。根据呼吸暂停低通气指数>30次/h将患者分为重度OSA与非重度OSA组。用最小绝对收缩、选择算子(the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator,Lasso)和逻辑回归(logistic regression,LR)对所有备选预测因子进行进一步筛选,基于LR建立重度OSA患者的预测模型,在验证集中对列线图模型进行验证,使用C指数、校准曲线和决策曲线分析(Decision Curve Analysis,DCA)评价列线图的区分能力、校准性和临床有效性。此外,我们将该模型与临床上广泛使用的问卷,包括STOP-Bang、柏林问卷通过受试者工作曲线进行了比较。结果通过单因素及多因素Logistic回归分析和Lasso Logistic回归确定吸烟、憋气病史、BMI、腰围、打鼾病史、Epworth嗜睡量表(Epworth sleepiness scale,ESS)作为纳入列线图的预测因子。该模型曲线下面积(area under the curve,AUC)=0.795(95%CI:0.769~0.820),Hosmer-Lemeshow检验提示模型校准良好(χ2=3.942,P=0.862)。DCA曲线显示,该模型对患者是有益的,当阈值概率>18%时,该模型对患者的净获益优于柏林问卷或STOP-Bang量表。临床影响曲线(Clinical Impact Curve,CIC)分析显示了该预测模型的临床有效率,当阈值概率大于82%预测评分概率值时,预测模型判定为重度OSA高风险人群与实际罹患重度OSA人群高度匹配,证实该预测模型临床有效率较高。结论相较于临床常用量表,本研究建立的模型在预测重度OSA方面具有更好的识别能力,可应用于普通人群的OSA早期筛查,有助于及早识别重度OSA,保护患者免受OSA的严重后果,减轻社会负担。
文摘目的:阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome,OSAHS)可引起机体多脏器的损伤,有潜在致死性,对患者身体健康和生活质量产生严重影响。住院医师在OSAHS的筛查中起着重要的作用。本研究旨在评估住院医师对OSAHS的认知和态度水平,为疾病的干预和诊疗提供依据。方法:于2021年12月1日至2022年12月1日对某教学医院的住院医师进行横断面调查。采用阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停知识及态度问卷(Obstructive Sleep Apnea Knowledge and Attitudes Questionnaire,OSAKA)评估住院医师在处理OSAHS患者方面的知识、态度和信心。结果:在接受问卷的200名住院医师中,183名(91.5%)完成了问卷调查。所有住院医师的OSAKA问卷的知识量表得分为13.12±2.46。内科住院医师知识得分高于其他科住院医师(13.46±2.22 vs 12.33±2.83,P<0.05),有过呼吸科轮转经历的住院医师知识得分高于没有在呼吸科轮转经历的住院医师(13.46±2.35 vs 12.69±2.56,P<0.05)。所有住院医师的OSAKA问卷的态度/信心量表得分为3.64±0.62。60.7%的住院医师认为OSAHS作为一种临床疾病是极其重要的。72.7%的住院医师有信心识别OSAHS患者,但只有50.3%的对管理OSAHS患者有信心,仅42.6%的住院医师有信心管理持续正压通气治疗的患者。知识与态度、信心水平之间呈弱正相关关系。结论:多数住院医师意识到OSAHS的临床重要性,但对OSAHS的诊断和管理知识、信心水平仍存在不足,需要加强对其管理OSAHS患者的培训。
