Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea is defined by the presence of repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep. An AHI of equal to or greater than 5 events/h is commonly used to define obstructive sleep apnea with obstructive or mixed (rather than central) events comprising more than 50% of the total. Aims and Objectives: To study to clinical profile associated with risk factor and co-morbidities in patients diagnosed as obstructive sleep apnea by doing polysomnography study in a rural tertiary care hospital at Mullana, Ambala, Haryana Material and Methods: In this study 30 patients with suspicion of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea were taken up and polysomnography was carried out on them. Diagnosis was made on the basis of (AHI) >5,that is more than 5 episodes per hour of cessation of breathing for at least 10 seconds. Once the diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea was established, then complete clinical profiling of patients was done, which included severity of obstructive sleep apnea based on AHI and co morbidities and risk factors associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Results: 1) Out of the total 30 patients enrolled for study the mean age of 4 (13.33%) patients was30.00 ± 11.135 range 25- 34 years, mean age of 7 (23.33%) patients was39.71 ± 10.537 range 35-44 years, mean age of 12 (40%) patients was49.00 ± 10.094 range 45-54 years, mean age of 6 (20%) patients was60.00 ± 10.550 range55-64 years, and mean age of 1 (3.33%) patient was65.00 ± 0.00 range65-74 years. 2) Out from a total 30 patients under evaluation 29 (96.67%) were male and only 1 (3.33%)) was female patient. 3) The frequency of major complaints of patients suffering from sleep apnea were, sweating 1 (3.33%), Day Sleeping 18 (60%), SOB12 40%), Snoring 18 (60%), Laziness15 (50%), Sleeping while watching t.v.5 (16.67%), Inadequate sleep4 (13.33%) and Unfresh while driving 3 (10%. 4) Out of a total 30 patients under evaluation 16 (53.33%) patients were smokers and remaining 14 (46.67%) were non-smokers. Conclusion: Complete clinical profiling along with associated risk factors and co-morbidities should be done in patients diagnosed as obstructive sleep apnea in order to effectively treat such patients and provide them a good quality of life
