Abstract Introduction The frequency of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may be high among patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-shortening, genetic respiratory disease that affects approximately 30,000 Americans. Yet, the potential relationship between OSA and lung function has not been thoroughly explored. Methods Single-center retrospective review of polysomnography (PSG) results from 2009-2017 in referred patients with CF and available pulmonary function data (PFTs) obtained at time of PSG and at 3, 6, 9, and 12-months prior. Results Mean ages were 11.1±3.9 (sd) and 37.1±14.1 years, among 18 children and 16 adults, respectively. Mean body mass index (BMI) was normal in both groups (62.5±26.6% in children; 25.1±6.4 kg/m2 in adults). Twenty-six subjects (76%) had OSA (apnea-hypopnea index >1 in children, ≥5 in adults). Mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second percent predicted (FEV1 PPD) was higher among subjects with vs. without OSA at PSG and at each time-point in the year prior, independent of age and BMI at PSG (longitudinal mixed effects model, β=19.0, SE=8.1, p=0.028). While FEV1 PPD remained unchanged in the non-OSA group, FEV1 PPD at PSG was lower, in comparison to the year prior in subjects with OSA, with the greatest difference observed at 9-months prior to PSG (2-sample t-test, difference of -6.6% vs 0.6% in OSA vs. non-OSA groups respectively, p=0.078). Conclusion The PFTs, as daytime markers of CF lung disease severity, do not seem to reliably predict risk for OSA. In our sample, CF patients with vs. without OSA had better PFTs at baseline but they also showed a greater tendency for decline in PFTs over the year prior to OSA diagnosis. Larger sample size and longer duration of assessment may help, going forward, to assess any potential adverse impact of OSA on lung function decline.

Obstructive Sleep

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition characterized by frequent respiratory pauses lasting ≥ 10 seconds, accompanied by desaturation/reoxygenation cycles and repetitive arousals triggered by complete (apnea) or partial (hypopnea) cessation of airflow during sleep. Objective: To determine the prevalence and to assess the respiratory and anthropometric parameters of patients with obstructive sleep apnea in Vale do São Francisco area. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study using secondary data collected from 466 patients between June 2015 and June 2017. Patients who underwent home polysomnography were included while those who did not perform the lung function test and/or failed to present a medical report were excluded. Results: Obstructive sleep apnea was observed in 79.2% (n = 126) of the patients enrolled. Cases with greater severity were observed in males and were more prevalent among those aged 60 years or above. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (P = 0.006) and forced vital capacity (P = 0.001) decreased with increased obstructive sleep apnea severity. Significant correlations were observed between the severity of obstructive sleep apnea and age, body mass index and Apnea-Hypopnea Index, while pulmonary function variables presented a low negative correlation with obstructive sleep apnea severity. Conclusion: Greater severity of obstructive sleep apnea was more prevalent in males and the involvement of the pulmonary function was more pronounced in the groups with severe obstructive sleep apnea. Reductions in lung function were also found in this population, with negative linear correlations between ventilatory parameters and obstructive sleep apnea severity.

AbstractStudy ObjectivesTo examine the role of ventilatory control in asthmatic children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the relationships between measures of ventilatory control, OSA severity, and pulmonary function.MethodsFive- to 18-year-old children with persistent asthma and nightly snoring were enrolled in the study. Children had physical examination, pulmonary function test, and polysomnography. Loop and controller gains were derived from 5 min segments which included a sigh during nonrapid eye movement sleep by applying a mathematical model that quantifies ventilatory control from the ensuing responses to the sighs. Plant gain was derived from 5 min segments of spontaneous breathing (i.e. without sighs). Nonparametric statistical tests were used for group comparisons. Cluster analysis was performed using Bayesian profile regression.ResultsOne hundred thirty-four children were included in the study, 77 with and 57 without OSA. Plant gain was higher in children with OSA than in those without OSA (p = 0.002). A negative correlation was observed between plant gain and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (p = 0.048) and the ratio of f forced expiratory volume to forced vital capacity (p = 0.02). Plant gain correlated positively with severity of OSA. Cluster analysis demonstrated that children with more severe OSA and abnormal lung function had higher plant gain and a lower controller gain compared with the rest of the population.ConclusionsChildren with OSA and persistent asthma with abnormal lung function have phenotypic characteristics which consist of diminished capacity of the lungs to maintain blood gas homeostasis reflected by an increase in plant gain and decreased chemoreceptor sensitivity.

Objective Evidence

Background: Lifestyle modification is the mainstay therapy for obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, most of these patients are unable to lose the necessary weight, and bariatric surgery (BS) has been proven to be an effective modality in selected cases. Objective: To provide objective evidence that BS can improve OSA severity. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted in super morbidly obese patients (body mass index [BMI] greater than 40 kg/m² or BMI greater than 35 kg/m² with uncontrolled comorbidities) scheduled for BS. Polysomnography (PSG) was performed for preoperative assessment and OSA was treated accordingly. After successful surgery, patients were invited to perform follow-up PSG at 3, 6, and 12 months. Results: Twenty-four patients with a mean age of 35.0±14.0 years were enrolled. After a mean follow-up period of 7.8±3.4 months, the mean BMI, Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) significantly decreased from 51.6±8.7 to 38.2±6.8 kg/m² (p<0.001), from 8.7±5.9 to 4.7±3.5 (p=0.003), and from 87.6±38.9 to 28.5±21.5 events/hour (p<0.001), respectively. Conclusion: BS was shown to dramatically improve clinical and sleep parameters in super morbidly obese patients. Keywords: Morbid obesity, Bariatric surgery, Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

The Impact

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of nasal surgery on airflow characteristics in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by comparing the alterations of airflow characteristics within the nasal and palatopharyngeal cavities. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Thirty patients with OSA and nasal obstruction who underwent nasal surgery were enrolled. A pre- and postoperative 3-dimensional model was constructed, and alterations of airflow characteristics were assessed using the method of computational fluid dynamics. The other subjective and objective clinical indices were also assessed. <b><i>Results:</i></b> By comparison with the preoperative value, all postoperative subjective symptoms statistically improved (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.05), while the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) changed little (<i>p</i> = 0.492); the postoperative airflow velocity and pressure in both nasal and palatopharyngeal cavities, nasal and palatopharyngeal pressure differences, and total upper airway resistance statistically decreased (all <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.01). A significant difference was derived for correlation between the alteration of simulation metrics with subjective improvements (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.05), except with the AHI (<i>p</i> &#x3e; 0.05). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Nasal surgery can decrease the total resistance of the upper airway and increase the nasal airflow volume and subjective sleep quality in patients with OSA and nasal obstruction. The altered airflow characteristics might contribute to the postoperative reduction of pharyngeal collapse in a subset of OSA patients.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) independent of obesity (OBS) imposes severe cardiovascular risk. To what extent plasma cystine concentration (CySS), a novel pro-oxidative vascular risk factor, is increased in OSA with or without OBS is presently unknown. We therefore studied CySS together with the redox state and precursor amino acids of glutathione (GSH) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in untreated male patients with OSA (apnea-hypopnea-index (AHI) > 15 h−1, n = 28) compared to healthy male controls (n = 25) stratifying for BMI ≥ or < 30 kg m−2. Fifteen OSA patients were reassessed after 3–5-months CPAP. CySS correlated with cumulative time at an O2-saturation <90% (Tu90%) (r = 0.34, p < 0.05) beside BMI (r = 0.58, p < 0.001) and was higher in subjects with “hypoxic stress” (59.4 ± 2.0 vs. 50.1 ± 2.7 µM, p < 0.01) defined as Tu90% ≥ 15.2 min (corresponding to AHI ≥ 15 h−1). Moreover, CySS significantly correlated with systolic (r = 0.32, p < 0.05) and diastolic (r = 0.31, p < 0.05) blood pressure. CPAP significantly lowered CySS along with blood pressure at unchanged BMI. Unexpectedly, GSH antioxidant capacity in PBMC was increased with OSA and reversed with CPAP. Plasma CySS levels are increased with OSA-related hypoxic stress and associated with higher blood pressure. CPAP decreases both CySS and blood pressure. The role of CySS in OSA-related vascular endpoints and their prevention by CPAP warrants further studies.

Abstract Study Objectives Determine if changes in K-complexes associated with sustained inspiratory airflow limitation (SIFL) during N2 sleep are associated with next-day vigilance and objective sleepiness. Methods Data from thirty subjects with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who completed three in-lab polysomnograms: diagnostic, on therapeutic continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and on suboptimal CPAP (4 cmH2O below optimal titrated CPAP level) were analyzed. Four 20-min psychomotor vigilance tests (PVT) were performed after each PSG, every 2 h. Changes in the proportion of spontaneous K-complexes and spectral characteristics surrounding K-complexes were evaluated for K-complexes associated with both delta (∆SWAK), alpha (∆αK) frequencies. Results Suboptimal CPAP induced SIFL (14.7 (20.9) vs 2.9 (9.2); %total sleep time, p &lt; 0.001) with a small increase in apnea–hypopnea index (AHI3A: 6.5 (7.7) vs 1.9 (2.3); p &lt; 0.01) versus optimal CPAP. K-complex density (num./min of stage N2) was higher on suboptimal CPAP (0.97 ± 0.7 vs 0.65±0.5, #/min, mean ± SD, p &lt; 0.01) above and beyond the effect of age, sex, AHI3A, and duration of SIFL. A decrease in ∆SWAK with suboptimal CPAP was associated with increased PVT lapses and explained 17% of additional variance in PVT lapses. Within-night during suboptimal CPAP K-complexes appeared to alternate between promoting sleep and as arousal surrogates. Electroencephalographic changes were not associated with objective sleepiness. Conclusions Sustained inspiratory airflow limitation is associated with altered K-complex morphology including the increased occurrence of K-complexes with bursts of alpha as arousal surrogates. These findings suggest that sustained inspiratory flow limitation may be associated with nonvisible sleep fragmentation and contribute to increased lapses in vigilance.

Abstract Purpose In 2-dimensional lateral cephalometric radiographs, patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) exhibit a more crowded oropharynx in comparison with non-OSA. We tested the hypothesis that machine learning, an application of artificial intelligence (AI), could be used to detect patients with severe OSA based on 2-dimensional images. Methods A deep convolutional neural network was developed (n = 1258; 90%) and tested (n = 131; 10%) using data from 1389 (100%) lateral cephalometric radiographs obtained from individuals diagnosed with severe OSA (n = 867; apnea hypopnea index > 30 events/h sleep) or non-OSA (n = 522; apnea hypopnea index < 5 events/h sleep) at a single center for sleep disorders. Three kinds of data sets were prepared by changing the area of interest using a single image: the original image without any modification (full image), an image containing a facial profile, upper airway, and craniofacial soft/hard tissues (main region), and an image containing part of the occipital region (head only). A radiologist also performed a conventional manual cephalometric analysis of the full image for comparison. Results The sensitivity/specificity was 0.87/0.82 for full image, 0.88/0.75 for main region, 0.71/0.63 for head only, and 0.54/0.80 for the manual analysis. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve was the highest for main region 0.92, for full image 0.89, for head only 0.70, and for manual cephalometric analysis 0.75. Conclusions A deep convolutional neural network identified individuals with severe OSA with high accuracy. Future research on this concept using AI and images can be further encouraged when discussing triage of OSA.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with reduced heart rate variability (HRV) and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Sample entropy (SampEn) is commonly used for regularity analysis. However, it has limitations in processing short-term segments of HRV signals due to the extreme dependence of its functional parameters. We used the nonparametric sample entropy (NPSampEn) as a novel index for short-term HRV analysis in the case of OSA. The manuscript included 60 6-h electrocardiogram recordings (20 healthy, 14 mild-moderate OSA, and 26 severe OSA) from the PhysioNet database. The NPSampEn value was compared with the SampEn value and frequency domain indices. The empirical results showed that NPSampEn could better differentiate the three groups (p < 0.01) than the ratio of low frequency power to high frequency power (LF/HF) and SampEn. Moreover, NPSampEn (83.3%) approached a higher OSA screening accuracy than the LF/HF (73.3%) and SampEn (68.3%). Compared with SampEn (|r| = 0.602, p < 0.05), NPSampEn (|r| = 0.756, p < 0.05) had a significantly stronger association with the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Hence, NPSampEn can fully overcome the influence of individual differences that are prevalent in biomedical signal processing, and might be useful in processing short-term segments of HRV signal.
