Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a fairly common problem with adverse health consequences. However, any screening questionnaire is not available in Hindi to screen sleep apnea.
Subjects undergoing video-synchronized in laboratory attended polysomnography were requested to participate in this study. They were screened with the help of Hindi version of Berlin questionnaire (BQ). Outcome of the BQ was tested against the gold standard polysomnography. Descriptive statistics, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of Hindi version were calculated.
38 patients with polysomnography diagnosed OSA and 12 controls were included in this study. Average body mass index (BMI) in the OSA group was 33.12 + 6.66 kg/m(2) whereas in the control group BMI was 25.01 + 4.20 kg/m(2). Average age in the OSA group was 48.9 + 10.2 years whereas the control group was older (56.9 + 12.1 years). Hindi version had sensitivity of 89% and specificity of 58%. PPV of the instrument was 0.87 whereas NPV was 0.63.
Hindi version of BQ is a valid tool for screening the OSA irrespective of the literacy status of the subjects.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)是一个相当常见的问题,会对健康产生不良后果。然而,目前没有印地语的筛查问卷来筛查睡眠呼吸暂停。
邀请在实验室接受视频同步多导睡眠监测的受试者参与本研究。他们借助印地语版柏林问卷(BQ)进行筛查。将BQ的结果与金标准多导睡眠监测结果进行对比。计算印地语版的描述性统计量、敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值(PPV)和阴性预测值(NPV)。
本研究纳入了38例经多导睡眠监测诊断为OSA的患者和12例对照。OSA组的平均体重指数(BMI)为33.12 + 6.66 kg/m²,而对照组的BMI为25.01 + 4.20 kg/m²。OSA组的平均年龄为48.9 + 10.2岁,而对照组年龄更大(56.9 + 12.1岁)。印地语版的敏感性为89%,特异性为58%。该工具的PPV为0.87,NPV为0.63。
无论受试者的识字状况如何,印地语版BQ都是筛查OSA的有效工具。
