Obstructive Sleep

Reduced cerebrovascular compliance is the major mechanism of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) also promotes SVD development, but the underlying mechanism was not elucidated. We investigated the association among OSA, cerebrovascular compliance, and SVD parameters. This study retrospectively included individuals ≥ 50 years of age, underwent overnight polysomnographic (PSG) for the evaluation of OSA, and performed MRI and transcranial Doppler (TCD) within 12 months of interval without a neurological event between the evaluations. TCD parameters for the cerebrovascular compliance included middle cerebral artery pulsatility index (MCA PI) and mean MCA resistance index ratio (MRIR). SVD parameters included white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume, number of lacunes, enlarged perivascular space (ePVS) score, and the presence of microbleeds or lacunes. Ninety-seven individuals (60.8% male, mean age 70.0±10.5 years) were included. MRIR was associated with higher respiratory distress index (B = 0.003; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.001–0.005; P = 0.021), while MCA PI was not associated with any of the PSG markers for OSA severity. Apnea-hypopnea index was associated with the log-transformed total WMH volume (B = 0.008; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.001–0.016; P = 0.020), subcortical WMH volume (B = 0.015; 95% CI 0.007–0.022; P<0.001), total ePVS score (B = 0.024; 95% CI 0.003–0.045; P = 0.026), and centrum semiovale ePVS score (B = 0.026; 95% CI 0.004–0.048; P = 0.019), and oxygen-desaturation index with periventricular WMH volume, independently from age, MCA PI, and MRIR. This study concluded that OSA is associated with reduced cerebrovascular compliance and also with SVD independently from cerebrovascular compliance. Underlying pathomechanistic link might be region specific.

Abstract Study Objectives The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the presence of various neuroimaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Methods We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane library (from inception to May 2019) for studies evaluating the association between OSA and CSVD, which included white matter hyperintensities (WMH), silent brain infarction (SBI), cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), and perivascular spaces (PVS). Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (CIs) were estimated using random-effects meta-analysis. Results After screening 7290 publications, 20 studies were finally included involving 6036 subjects. The sample size ranged from 27 to 1763 (median 158, interquartile range: 67–393). The meta-analysis showed that moderate to severe OSA was positively associated with WMH (13 studies, n = 4412, OR = 2.23, 95% CI = 1.53 to 3.25, I2 = 80.3%) and SBI (12 studies, n = 3353, OR 1.54, 95% CI = 1.06 to 2.23, I2 = 52%). There was no association with CMBs (three studies, n = 342, OR = 2.17, 95% CI = 0.61 to 7.73, I2 = 60.2%) or PVS (two studies, n = 267, OR = 1.56, 95% CI = 0.28 to 8.57, I2 = 69.5%). There was no relationship between mild OSA and CSVD. Conclusion Current evidence suggests that moderate to severe sleep apnea is positively related to WMH and SBI, but not CMBs or PVS, which suggests that OSA may contribute to the pathogenesis of CSVD. Further large cohort studies should be prioritized to confirm the findings.

Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is associated with increased risk of cerebrovascular disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between the presence of the small vessel disease (SVD) of the brain in patients with OSAHS. The study included 24 patients with moderate to severe OSAHS and 34 healthy volunteers. All the subjects underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, in order to sought periventricular white matter (PVWM), deep white matter (DWM) and brainstem SVD. Among patients with OSAHS, 79.1% had SVD (grade 1–3, Fazekas score) in DWM and 91.7% in PVWM while 22.4% had brainstem—white matter hyperintensities (B-WMH). Patients with OSAHS had a much higher degree of SVD in the DWM and PVWM compared to the control group (p < 0.001). The multivariate analysis showed an independent significant association of OSAHS with SVD (DWM and PVWM) (p = 0.033, OR 95% CI: 8.66 (1.19–63.08) and: p = 0.002, OR 95% CI: 104.98 (5.15–2141)). The same analysis showed a moderate association of OSAHS with B-WMH (p = 0.050, OR 15.07 (0.97–234.65)). Our study demonstrated an independent significant association of OSAHS with SVD and a moderate association of OSAHS with B-WMH.
