Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome is a major health public problem, with a possible contribution to cardiovascular disease and obesity. There is evidence of a bidirectional relationship between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. There is little to no reporting of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in rural subjects. The study aimed to find out the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome among obese patients visiting the outpatient Department of a tertiary care centre.
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among obese individuals who attended a tertiary care centre between 4 June 2018 to 6 August 2018. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Ethics Committee. A convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval.
Among 33 patients, obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome was seen in 5 (15.15%) (2.92-27.38, 95% Confidence Interval) patients. Among 33, 3 (60%) were female and 2 (40%) male.
The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome was similar to other studies done in similar settings.

阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征是一个主要的公共卫生问题，可能与心血管疾病和肥胖有关。肥胖和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征之间存在双向关系的证据。关于农村人群中阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征的报道很少。本研究旨在了解肥胖患者在三级保健中心门诊就诊时阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征的患病率。
2018 年 6 月 4 日至 8 月 6 日期间，对在三级保健中心就诊的肥胖个体进行了一项描述性横断面研究。本研究获得了机构伦理委员会的批准。采用便利抽样法。点估计值是在 95%置信区间计算的。
在 33 名患者中，有 5 名（15.15%）（2.92-27.38，95%置信区间）患者患有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征。在 33 名患者中，有 3 名（60%）为女性，2 名（40%）为男性。
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征的患病率与在类似环境中进行的其他研究相似。
