description

It has been reported that bronchial asthma is often associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and daytime sleepiness. We analyzed the prevalence of physician-diagnosed asthma in 4929 subjects with suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the European Sleep Apnea database (ESADA) Cohort. Patients were studied by respiratory polygraphy (PG: n=1624, 66.6% males) or full polysomnography (PSG: n=3305, 70.4% males), and the clinical characteristics of asthmatic (A) and non-asthmatic (non-A) patients were analyzed according to OSA severity. Significance was at p 2 , p=0.0004) and showed more severe daytime sleepiness (Epworth score: 10.4±5.6 vs 9.5±5.3, p=0.0015) and a trend for worse nocturnal lowest SaO 2 (p=0.053). Asthmatic patients showed normal AHI ( STUDY PRESENTED ON BEHALF OF THE ESADA STUDY GROUP.
