Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is the most common sleep disorder being diagnosed. It is a chronic condition that is characterized by repetitive episodes of the upper airway obstruction resulting in intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation caused by arousals. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome has been associated with an increased incidence of hypertension, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. Aim and Objectives: The aim was to determine the prevalence of Obstructive sleep apnoea in patients with metabolic syndrome and to determine whether OSA is associated with various components of metabolic syndrome. Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study among 30 patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome at department of endocrinology, Andhra Medical College, who were evaluated for OSA at Government Hospital for Chest and Communicable Diseases (GHCCD), Andhra medical college, Visakhapatnam, between March 2013 and September 2014 were included in the study. Results: out of 30 patients with metabolic syndrome, 18 were males and 12 were females. Of 30, 22 had OSA while 8 had no OSA. Among 22 OSA patients, 6, 3 and 13 patients have mild, moderate and severe OSA respectively. 19 out of 22 patients with hypertension, 14 out of 19 patients with diabetes, 17 out of 22 patients with hyper triglyceridemia and 10 out of 15 patients with low HDL levels have OSA. Conclussion: In conclusion, OSA is highly common in patients with metabolic syndrome and there was a significant association between components of MS and OSA. Early detection and treatment of OSA in MS can prevent the development of cardiovascular complications. Thus need for screening metabolic syndrome patients for undiagnosed OSA has been reinforced by this study.
