Correlation between structural progression in glaucoma and obstructive sleep apnea.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

To investigate the correlation between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity and the structural and functional progression in patients with glaucoma.

Subjects/methods

This retrospective comparative cohort study included subjects from the polysomnography database in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital between June 1, 2009, and June 1, 2017, by identifying patients who had received diagnoses of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), normal-tension glaucoma (NTG), or glaucoma suspect. Patients with follow-up time of <3 years and/or <3 consecutive reliable optical coherence tomography (OCT) or visual field (VF) tests were excluded. Progression of overall peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness on OCT scans and VF mean deviation (MD) or VF index (VFI) were determined through linear regression trend analysis.

Results

Thirty-two patients were included. There was a trend to higher percentage of progression on RNFL thickness and VF in higher OSAS severity. After stratifying patients to no OSA/mild OSA (group 1) and moderate/severe OSA (group 2), group 2 exhibited a significantly higher percentage of RNFL thickness progression than did group 1 (64.7% vs 26.7%, P = 0.042). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that severe OSA had an 8.448-fold higher risk of RNFL thickness progression after age, sex, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and body mass index adjustment (95% confidence interval, 1.464-48.752, P = 0.017).

Conclusions

Severe OSA is significantly correlated with a higher risk of structural deterioration in patients with glaucoma.

Project description:Importance:While much has been reported on the relationship between floppy eyelid syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the diagnostic criteria of floppy eyelid syndrome are often subjective and vague. Objective:To evaluate the association between OSA and quantitative markers of eyelid laxity or secondary ocular surface disease in a sleep clinic population. Design, Setting, and Participants:This investigation was a cross-sectional observational study at the Center for Sleep Medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Participants were individuals referred for overnight polysomnography from March 1 to August 30, 2015. Main Outcomes and Measures:Eyelid laxity and ocular surface disease were assessed on bedside ophthalmologic examination. The presence and severity of OSA were determined from polysomnography results. Initial correlation between OSA and ocular surface and eyelid markers was calculated through bivariate linear regression analysis, and the association between ocular symptoms was obtained through bivariate ordered logistic regression. Analysis was repeated adjusting for known associations between OSA and sex, age, body mass index, and medical comorbidities through multivariable analysis. Results:In total, 201 individuals (402 eyes) were enrolled in the study. Their mean (SD) age was 53.2 (13.5) years, 43.3% (n?=?87) were female, 56.7% (n?=?114) were of white race/ethnicity, 26.9% (n?=?54) were black/African American, 4.0% (n?=?8) were Asian, 8.0% (n?=?16) were multiracial or other, and 4.5% (n?=?9) were of unknown race/ethnicity, with 21.9% (n?=?44) of all individuals self-identifying as Hispanic and 75.1% (n?=?151) self-identifying as non-Hispanic. After adjustment, no association was observed between OSA severity and an eyelid laxity score (regression coefficient, 0.85; 95% CI, -0.33 to 0.62; P?=?.40) or an ocular surface score (regression coefficient, 1.09; 95% CI, -0.32 to 0.29; P?=?.93). Through subset analysis, male sex was associated with a higher ocular surface score, while older age and diabetes were associated with a higher eyelid laxity score. Only one patient (0.5%) exhibited findings of floppy eyelid syndrome. Conclusions and Relevance:Among individuals referred for overnight polysomnography, quantitative markers of eyelid laxity were not associated with the presence or severity of OSA. Subset analysis suggests that prior studies may have been limited by confounding variables or the technique of identifying eyelid laxity.

Project description:Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious condition linked with various metabolic disorders and associated with increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Although the potential mechanisms of pathophysiological processes related to OSA are relatively well known, the data regarding the correlation between obstructive sleep apnea, dyslipidemia, and systemic inflammation are still inconclusive. Methods: The study was conducted as a retrospective cohort study including 328 patients with newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea during the period between April 2018, and May 2020, in University Clinical Hospital Center "Bezanijska kosa", Belgrade, Serbia. Polysomnography was performed in all patients according to the protocol. Numerous demographic, antropometric, laboratory, and clinical data were correlated to Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) as a dependent variable, with a particular review on the relation between lipid abnormalities, inflammatory parameters, and obstructive sleep apnea severity. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess predictors of severe OSA (AHI ≥30 per hour). Results: A total of 328 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 54.0 ± 12.5 years and more than two-thirds were male (68.8%). The majority of the patients had an AHI of at least 30 events per hour. Patients with severe OSA were more frequently male, obese, hypertensive and hyperlipidemic, and had increased neck circumference (both male and female patients). One hundred and thirty-two patients had metabolic syndrome. Patients with severe OSA more frequently had metabolic syndrome and significantly higher levels of glucose, creatinine, uric acid, AST, ALT, CK, microalbumine/creatinine ratio, triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL, total cholеsterol to HDL-C ratio, CRP, and ESR. In the multivariate linear regression model with AHI (≥30 per hour) as a dependent variable, of demographic and clinical data, triglycerides ≥1.7 mmol/L and CRP >5 mg/L were significantly associated with AHI≥30 per hour. Conclusion: The present study on 328 patients with newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea revealed significant relation of lipid abnormalities, inflammatory markers, and other clinically important data with obstructive sleep apnea severity. These results can lead to a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiological processes and open the door to a new world of potentially useful therapeutic modalities.

Project description:BackgroundThe emergence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is marked by a growing trend towards younger individuals, while its developmental trajectory remains shrouded in uncertainty, accompanied by intricate prognostic implications. While frailty and sleep problems often coexist, the relationship between them remains unclear. Hence, this study aims to utilize the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database from 2005 to 2008 to analyze and explore the relationship between the level of frailty index (FI) and the risk of OSA incidence and survival outcomes.Materials and methodsSpecialized weighted complex survey design analysis software was employed for data analysis. Multivariate logistic regression models and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were utilized to assess the association between FI and OSA incidence in all participants. Additionally, a Cox proportional hazards model was established to estimate the association between FI and the hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality.ResultsA total of 8524 participants were included in this study. Compared to the Non-frail group (FI ≤ 0.1), OSA risk increased with higher FI levels. In Model 3, adjusted for multiple covariates, the Pro-frail group (0.1<FI ≤ 0.2) [odds ratio (OR) = 1.31, 95 % confidence interval (CI): (1.10, 1.56)], Mildly frail group (0.2<FI ≤ 0.3) [OR = 1.62, 95 % CI (1.28, 2.05)], and Moderately/Severely frail group (FI > 0.3) [OR = 2.32, 95 % CI (1.55, 3.48)] exhibited an average 31 %, 62 %, and 132 % increase in OSA risk, respectively. RCS results demonstrated a nonlinear dose-response relationship between OSA risk and FI levels, with an increasing trend (P = 0.004). The Cox model indicated that, except for the Pro-frail group, OSA-related mortality risk also increased with higher FI levels, with a more pronounced effect on CVD-related mortality.ConclusionThis study supports the hypothesis that FI may be associated with an increased risk of OSA, with a higher emphasis on OSA-related mortality risk in Mildly frail and Moderately/Severely frail populations.
