A Randomized Controlled Trial of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Glucose Tolerance in Obese Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

2014

Study objectives Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with an increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), even in patients with morbid obesity. Our goal was to address whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment improved glucose metabolism in this population. Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was performed in severe OSA patients with morbid obesity without diabetes in two university referral hospitals. Patients received conservative (CT) versus CPAP treatment for 12 weeks. MetS components, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and oral glucose tolerance were assessed at baseline and after treatment. Results A total of 80 …

Impact of obstructive sleep apnea on metabolic dysfunction in severe obesity.

2011

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) seems to worsen metabolism. This effect has not evaluated in morbid obesity (MO). We hypothesized that the metabolic profile is more impaired in MO patients with OSA than in those without and investigated whether any specific metabolic dysfunction is related to OSA in MO. A prospective multi-centre cross-sectional study was conducted in consecutive subjects before bariatric surgery. OSA was defined as apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI)≥15 by overnight polysomnography (PSG). Anthropometrical, blood pressure (BP) and fasting blood measurements were obtained the morning after. Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) was defined according to NCEP ATPIII modified criteria. 159 patient…
