To assess the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in myasthenia gravis, the authors identified patients at risk of OSA using the multivariable apnea prediction index. OSA was diagnosed with polysomnography. The prevalence of OSA was 36% compared to an expected prevalence of 15 to 20% in the general population. When including the presence of daytime sleepiness (OSA syndrome), the prevalence was 11% compared to 3% in the general population.
为评估重症肌无力患者中阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)的患病率,作者使用多变量呼吸暂停预测指数确定有OSA风险的患者。通过多导睡眠图诊断OSA。OSA的患病率为36%,而一般人群的预期患病率为15%至20%。若纳入日间嗜睡情况(OSA综合征),其患病率为11%,而一般人群为3%。
