Nocturnal Oxygen Saturation Parameters as Independent Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients.

ABSTRACT: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a recognized independent risk factor for metabolic disorders, type 2 diabetes mellites (DM2) in particular. Therefore, the study aimed to assess the influence of nocturnal oxygen saturation parameters on the onset of DM2 among OSA patients. The study consisted of 549 participants, who underwent polysomnography examination. Based on apnea hypopnea index (AHI), 465 patients were diagnosed with OSA. One hundred and seven individuals had comorbid DM2. Cox regression models were used to assess the effect of oxygen saturation parameters on the onset of DM2. Classification and regression trees (CART) analysis was used to assess the onset of the DM2 in the study group in context of oxygen saturation variables. One-way Cox regression showed higher risk of earlier DM
