Change in weight and central obesity by positive airway pressure treatment in obstructive sleep apnea patients: Longitudinal data from the European S…
2017
Introduction: The effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment on body weight and central obesity in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients is still unclear. Objectives: We aimed to study body composition change during CPAP treatment in the European Sleep Apnea Database (ESADA). Methods: OSA patients with a CPAP treatment follow-up time of more than 30 days in the ESADA registry were selected (n=2015). Body mass index (BMI), body weight, waist-, hip- and neck-circumferences were assessed at baseline and follow-up (median [interquartile range], 242 [380] days). Predictors for body composition changes with CPAP were analyzed adjusting for confounders. Results: Overall, there…
Long-term positive airway pressure therapy is associated with reduced total cholesterol levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea : data from t…
2020
Background and aim: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for dyslipidemia. The current study examined the effects of positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment on lipid status in the European Sleep Apnea Database (ESADA). Methods: The prospective cohort study enrolled 1564 OSA subjects (74% male, mean age 54 ± 11y, body mass index (BMI) 32.7 ± 6.6 kg/m2 and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) 40.3 ± 24.4 n/h) undergoing PAP therapy for at least three months (mean 377.6 ± 419.5 days). Baseline and follow-up total cholesterol (TC) from nine centers were analyzed. Repeated measures and logistic regression tests (adjusted for age, sex, weight changes, lipid lowering medication, PAP …
Blood pressure reduction following treatment with positive airway pressure in sleep apnea: data from the European Sleep Apnea Database
2020
Abstract Introduction Positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment modifies blood pressure (BP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We aimed to explore which factors that influence the BP response to PAP therapy in the European Sleep Apnea Database (ESADA). Methods A total of 2662 OSA patients with PAP therapy ≥90 days were included in the analysis (74% male, age 55±11 years, body mass index 32.3±6.1 kg/m2, 47% hypertensives, apnea-hypopnea index 40±24 events/h, treatment duration 1.0±1.1 years, PAP compliance 5.2±1.9 h/day). Anthropometric data, co-medications and office BP were assessed at baseline and follow-up visit. Results Systolic and diastolic BP were modestly reduced after …
Obstructive sleep apnea is an independent predictor for dyslipidemia: Data from the European Sleep Apnea Database (ESADA)
2017
Background and aim: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and dyslipidemia are both independently well-recognized risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Previous data are inconclusive regarding the relationship between OSA and dyslipidemia. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between OSA and dyslipidemia in ESADA (European Sleep Apnea Database). Methods: The cross-sectional analysis included 8592 patients (age 50.1±12.7 years, 69.1% male, BMI 30.8±6.6 kg/m2, mean AHI 25.7±25.9 n/h) from the ESADA. The independent relationship between measures of OSA (AHI, ODI, mean and lowest saturation) and lipid profile (total cholesterol [TC], HDL-cholesterol [HDL-C] (n=3289) and fa…
Positive airway pressure level based upper airway collapsibility classification - the European Sleep Apnea Database (ESADA)
2021
Background and objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients with mild upper airway collapsibility represents a target group for potential non-positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment. We studied the clinical characteristics of this endotypic group in a large Pan-European sleep apnea registry. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed in 2541 OSA patients with fixed PAP treatment (male 74%, age 53±11 years, body mass index [BMI] 33±6 kg/m2, apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] 41±25 events/h at baseline). Therapeutic PAP level ≤8 cm H2O was used as the cut-off to classify patients with mild upper airway collapsibility (Landry SA et al. Sleep 2017; 40:6). Results: Mean pressure of the PAP t…
Reference values for mean overnight saturation in sleep apnoea – the European Sleep Apnoea Database (ESADA)
2020
Introduction: Normative values for mean overnight oxygen saturation during sleep in apnoea patients stratified for age, BMI, and sleep apnoea severity are lacking. Aim: To establish reference intervals for overnight mean saturation in a large sleep apnoea patient cohort. Methods: Mean overnight oxygen saturation was analysed in adult patients (n=23,220) from the European Sleep Apnoea Database (ESADA, 30 sleep centres, 18 European countries). Data were classified according to age, gender, BMI ( Results: Mean overnight saturation was 93.0% (95% confidence interval (CI) 92.9 to 93.1%). Age influenced the adjusted mean nocturnal saturation (93.6%, 93.2%, 92.9%, 92.5%, 92.2% and 91.9% for those …
Change in weight and central obesity by positive airway pressure treatment in obstructive sleep apnea patients: longitudinal data from the ESADA coho…
2018
The effect of positive airway pressure treatment on weight and markers of central obesity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea remains unclear. We studied the change in body weight and anthropometric measures following positive airway pressure treatment in a large clinical cohort. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea with positive airway pressure treatment from the European Sleep Apnea Database registry (n = 1, 415, 77% male, age 54 ± 11 [mean ± SD] years, body mass index 31.7 ± 6.4 kg/m2, apnea–hypopnea index 37 ± 24 n per hr, Epworth Sleepiness Scale 10.2 ± 5.0) were selected. Changes in body mass index and neck/waist/hip circumferences at baseline and at follow-up visit were analyse…
Obstructive sleep apnoea independently predicts lipid levels: Data from the European Sleep Apnea Database
2018
Background and objective: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and dyslipidaemia are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This study investigates the association between OSA and plasma lipid concentrations in patients enrolled in the European Sleep Apnea Database (ESADA) cohort. Methods: The cross-sectional analysis included 8592 patients without physician-diagnosed hyperlipidaemia or reported intake of a lipid-lowering drug (age 50.1 ± 12.7 years, 69.1% male, BMI: 30.8 ± 6.6 kg/m2, mean apnoea–hypopnoea index (AHI): 25.7 ± 25.9 events/h). The independent relationship between measures of OSA (AHI, oxygen desaturation index (ODI), mean and lowest oxygen saturation) and lipid profil…
