Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the most common and serious disorder which not only affect the individual physically but also the quality of life of the person to a higher extent. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome and (COPD) are two diseases that often coexist within an individual. Sleep-related disturbances and insomnia have been shown to be higher in COPD patients. Objective: The present study was conducted with an objective to assess the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea risk and sleep quality of life among COPD patients.Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted on 100 stable COPD patients at medical OPD of DMC & Hospital, Ludhiana. The subjects were selected by convenience sampling technique. Modified Berlin questionnaire was used to check OSA risk and Quebec sleep questionnaire was used for assessing SQOL among the subjects. Data was collected by self-report method.Results: The findings revealed that 72% of COPD patients (Mean age 57.1± 1.70) were at high risk of OSA while 68% showed average sleep quality of life. There was a significant association between OSA risk and SQOL among COPD patients (p = 0.00). OSA risk was also associated with married (p=0.03), non working (0.01), presence of chronic illness (p=0.00), obese (p=0.00) and bigger neck circumference (p=0.00).Conclusion: It was concluded that there was high risk of obstructive sleep apnea in COPD patients and average sleep quality of life. There is a significant association of OSA risk and sleep quality of life among COPD patients. Therefore a protocol should be made to screen the COPD patients for OSA risk. Keywords: Obstructive sleep apnea risk, sleep quality of life, COPD patients.
