There are few studies showing that the increase in particulate matters less than 10 μm (PM10) values increases the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). We aimed to investigate relationship between air quality parameters and the seasons with the AHI. This was a retrospective study that included 500 adults. Polysomnography (PSG) was performed on all patients. Oxygen saturation, air temperature, relative humidity, and PM10 values were recorded in Düzce for every year. The parameters of the national air quality network and sleep parameters of 500 individuals hospitalized between 2015 and 2017 were checked. A total of 500 patients were included in the study, of whom 316 (63.2%) were male and 184 (36.8%) were female. While the AHI value of patients who presented during 2016 was 27.5, it had significantly declined to 20.2 in 2017 ( = .024). A significant decline was observed in AHI values of OSA patients from 2016 to 2017 ( = .043). A significant positive correlation was observed between REM-related AHI and relative humidity ( = 0.183, = .002). This study showed a clear relationship between AHI and PM10 during winter when air pollution parameters are high in the region. PM10 emerged as a parameter that substantially increases the relative risk for OSA.
鲜有研究表明，小于 10μm 的颗粒物（PM10）值的增加会导致呼吸暂停低通气指数（AHI）升高。我们旨在研究空气质量参数与 AHI 季节之间的关系。这是一项回顾性研究，共纳入 500 名成年人。所有患者均进行了多导睡眠图（PSG）检查。记录了 Düzce 每年的氧气饱和度、空气温度、相对湿度和 PM10 值。检查了国家空气质量网络的参数和 2015 年至 2017 年期间住院的 500 名个体的睡眠参数。共有 500 名患者纳入研究，其中 316 名（63.2%）为男性，184 名（36.8%）为女性。2016 年就诊患者的 AHI 值为 27.5，而 2017 年显著下降至 20.2（ = .024）。OSA 患者的 AHI 值从 2016 年到 2017 年显著下降（ = .043）。REM 相关 AHI 与相对湿度之间存在显著正相关（ = 0.183， = .002）。本研究表明，当该地区的空气污染参数较高时，AHI 与 PM10 之间存在明显关系。PM10 是导致 OSA 风险显著增加的一个参数。
