To determine the prevalence and clinical associations of respiratory effort-related arousals (RERA) in a general population sample.
A total of 2,162 participants (51.2% women, 58.5 ± 11.0 years old, body mass index [BMI] 25.6 ± 4.2 kg/m) of a general population-based cohort (HypnoLaus, Switzerland) underwent full polysomnography at home. Each subject with a RERA index ≥ 5 events/h was compared with an age-, sex- and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)-matched control without RERA.
A RERA index ≥ 5 events/h was present in 84 participants (3.8%; 95% confidence interval: 3.2-4.8%). In 17 participants (0.8%; 95% confidence interval: 0.5-1.3%), RERAs were the predominant sleep breathing disorder and only one of them complained of excessive daytime sleepiness. Compared to matched controls, subjects with a RERA index ≥ 5 events/h were similar in terms of BMI (26.5 ± 3.5 versus 26.3 ± 4.8 kg/m, = .73), neck circumference (38.5 ± 3.3 versus 37.6 ± 3.7 cm, = .10) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (6.7 ± 3.7 versus 6.0 ± 3.7, = .22). Also, no differences were found for hypertension (21.4% versus 27.4%, = .47), diabetes (7.1% versus 7.1%, = 1.00), or metabolic syndrome (31.0% versus 23.8%, = .39).
In a middle-aged population-based cohort, the prevalence of a RERA index ≥ 5 events/h was low (3.8%) and was not associated with negative clinical outcomes when using the currently recommended scoring criteria of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
在一般人群样本中确定与呼吸努力相关觉醒(RERA)相关的患病率和临床关联。
共有 2162 名(51.2%女性,58.5±11.0 岁,体重指数[BMI]25.6±4.2kg/m)来自一般人群为基础的队列(瑞士 HypnoLaus)的参与者在家中接受了完整的多导睡眠图。每个 RERA 指数≥5 事件/小时的受试者与没有 RERA 的年龄、性别和呼吸暂停低通气指数(AHI)匹配的对照进行比较。
84 名参与者(3.8%;95%置信区间:3.2-4.8%)存在 RERA 指数≥5 事件/小时。在 17 名参与者(0.8%;95%置信区间:0.5-1.3%)中,RERAs 是主要的睡眠呼吸障碍,其中只有一名抱怨白天过度嗜睡。与匹配对照相比,RERA 指数≥5 事件/小时的受试者在 BMI(26.5±3.5 与 26.3±4.8kg/m,=.73)、颈围(38.5±3.3 与 37.6±3.7cm,=.10)和 Epworth 睡眠量表评分(6.7±3.7 与 6.0±3.7,=.22)方面相似。此外,高血压(21.4%与 27.4%,=.47)、糖尿病(7.1%与 7.1%,=1.00)或代谢综合征(31.0%与 23.8%,=.39)方面也没有差异。
在中年人群为基础的队列中,RERA 指数≥5 事件/小时的患病率较低(3.8%),并且当使用美国睡眠医学科学院目前推荐的评分标准时,与负面临床结果无关。
