This case-control study sought to assess comorbid medical disorders in patients with narcolepsy type-1 (NT-1) and type-2 (NT-2).
The study comprised 80 consecutive Arab (Saudi) patients with narcolepsy (NT-1=56 and NT-2=24) and a control group of 211 adults matched for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). Data were collected from cases and controls based on a predesigned questionnaire that was formulated based on previous studies to evaluate the chosen medical comorbidities.
Narcolepsy patients had a higher prevalence of hypothyroidism and hyperlipidemia and a higher prevalence of high-risk for OSA than controls. Hyperlipidemia was more common in cases than controls, 8 (10%) vs. 3 (1.4%), p=0.002. After adjusting for age, sex, and BMI, the odds-ratios for hypothyroidism and high risk for OSA in the NT-1 group was 5.49 (95% CI, [0.8 - 38.6]) and 69.99 ((95%CI [20.6 -237.4]), respectively, and in the NT-2 group, 12.5, 95%CI [1.6-97.7], and 33.3, 95%CI [8.2-135.7], respectively.
Arab (Saudi) narcolepsy patients had a higher association with hypothyroidism, hyperlipidemia, and a higher risk of OSA than controls.
本病例对照研究旨在评估1型发作性睡病(NT - 1)和2型发作性睡病(NT - 2)患者的合并内科疾病。
该研究纳入了80例连续的阿拉伯(沙特)发作性睡病患者(NT - 1 = 56例,NT - 2 = 24例)以及211名年龄、性别和体重指数(BMI)相匹配的成年对照组。基于之前的研究设计了一份预先设计好的问卷,从病例组和对照组收集数据,以评估所选的合并内科疾病。
发作性睡病患者甲状腺功能减退症和高脂血症的患病率较高,阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)高风险的患病率也高于对照组。高脂血症在病例组中比对照组更常见,分别为8例(10%)和3例(1.4%),p = 0.002。在调整年龄、性别和BMI后,NT - 1组甲状腺功能减退症和OSA高风险的优势比分别为5.49(95%可信区间,[0.8 - 38.6])和69.99(95%可信区间[20.6 - 237.4]),NT - 2组分别为12.5(95%可信区间[1.6 - 97.7])和33.3(95%可信区间[8.2 - 135.7])。
阿拉伯(沙特)发作性睡病患者与甲状腺功能减退症、高脂血症的关联更高,且OSA风险高于对照组。
