171 NOCTURNAL AWAKENING WITH HEADACHE AND OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME IN AN ADULT, POPULATION-BASED STUDY SAMPLE

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a common pathology affecting pediatric and adult population. It is caused by an increase upper airway resistance due to augmented collapsibility that cause alteration in ventilation and oxygen saturation. Sleep oxygen desaturations have multi-organ implications. Since many years, OSAS, has been recognized as a risk factors for comorbid cardiovascular disease. Well-known is the causal link with cognitive impairment and atherosclerosis. Healthcare professionals, should be trained to recognize signs and symptoms of the disease in order to send the patients forward for specialist care in centers dealing with sleep-disordered breathing. However treatment knowledge is of pivotal importance in the cultural baggage of all the physicians. Surgical and non-surgical therapies have undergone a great number of changes. Going along with the innovations in diagnostic evaluation and phenotyping of the patients, surgeries were heightened by new developments such as advances in tailoring procedures and technologies. The aim of this overview is to describe the evolution and main characteristics of encoded procedures classified into site of surgical correction.

The Relationship

AbstractThere has been a need for research on the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) using large data such as nationwide population-based data that adjusts important confounding factors. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between MetS and OSAS. The data source we used was the National Health Insurance Service claims database managed by the Republic of Korea government, in which 10,113,560 individuals were enrolled in 2009 and followed up until 2018. The independent association of MetS with the risk of OSAS was determined using a Cox proportional hazards model with adjustment for age, sex, smoking status, alcohol consumption, regular physical exercise, and body mass index. Our results showed that MetS were strongly associated to OSAS which was adjusted for several confounding factors. Also, we found men, increased waist circumference and increased triglyceride are important risk factors for OSAS.

Introduction: Treatment of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is surgical. The incidence of postoperative respiratory complications in this population is 5–25%. Aim: The aim of the authors was to present the preoperative evaluation and monitoring procedure elaborated in Heim Pál Children Hospital, Budapest. Method: 142 patients were involved in the study. Patient history was obtained and physical examination was performed in all cases. Thereafter, polysomnography was carried out, the severity of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome was determined, and the patients underwent tonsilloadenotomy. Results: 45 patients with mild, 50 patients with moderate and 47 patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome were diagnosed. There was no complication in patients with mild disease, while complications were observed in 6 patients in the moderate group and 24 patients in the severe group (desaturation, apnea, stridor, stop breathing) (p<0.000). In patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, no significant difference was noted in preoperative apnoea-hypapnea index (p = 0.23) and in nadir oxygen saturation values (p = 0.73) between patients with and without complication. Conclusions: Patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome should be treated in hospital where pediatric intensive care unit is available. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(18), 703–707.
