Most of the studies that have explored the relationship between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and asthma have focused on the prevalence of snoring and OSA symptoms in patients with asthma.
This study was conducted to measure the reverse relationship - the prevalence of asthma in patients with diagnosed OSA.
We assessed the prevalence of asthma in all patients diagnosed polysomnographically to have OSA during the study period. A logistic regression model was developed to assess the predictors for asthma in patients with OSA.
Six-hundred-and-six patients with OSA with a mean age of 40+/-14.5 yr (66.7% males) were included. Asthma was present in 213 OSA patients - a prevalence of 35.1%. Body mass index (>35 kg/m2) was the only predictor of asthma.
Physicians should keep in mind the link between OSA and asthma. When one of these disorders is diagnosed, clinicians should consider the possible presence of the other.
大多数探索阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)与哮喘之间关系的研究都集中在哮喘患者的打鼾和OSA症状的患病率上。
本研究旨在测量相反的关系——已确诊OSA患者中哮喘的患病率。
我们评估了在研究期间通过多导睡眠图诊断为OSA的所有患者中哮喘的患病率。建立了一个逻辑回归模型来评估OSA患者哮喘的预测因素。
纳入了606例OSA患者,平均年龄为40±14.5岁(66.7%为男性)。213例OSA患者患有哮喘,患病率为35.1%。体重指数(>35kg/m²)是哮喘的唯一预测因素。
医生应牢记OSA与哮喘之间的联系。当诊断出其中一种疾病时,临床医生应考虑另一种疾病可能存在。
