Abstract:
Background: The worldwide prevalence of both OSA and metabolic syndrome is increasing at a fast pace. Metabolic syndrome has become a major public health problem. Obstructive sleep apnea has been shown to be an independent risk factor for hypertension and insulin resistance. It is therefore important to study the prevalence of OSA in metabolic syndrome. Aim and Objectives: 1) To study the prevalence symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea in patients suffering from metabolic syndrome on the basis of Epworth sleepiness scale.2) To determine the severity of obstructive sleep apnea in patients having metabolic syndrome on the basis of polysomnography. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 86 patients attending the OPD of Department of Respiratory Medicine and Department of General Medicine in a tertiary care center in western India. Clinical history, BMI, blood pressure (recorded after at least 5 minutes of rest in both arms sitting/supine position) was recorded. Blood samples of 5 ml drawn after 12 hours (overnight fasting) for the measurement of lipid profile and fasting plasma glucose. OSA is defined as apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) > 5 that is more than five episodes per hour of cessation of breathing for at least 10 seconds. Results Excessive day time sleepiness was seen in all 86 patients.43 patients were snorers and apnea were witnessed in 34 patients. EDS and snoring were found to be associated with higher AHI in this study. Mean BMI was found to be 32.52 kg/m2 and maximum BMI observed was 42.4 kg/m2. Body mass index of patients >30 kg/m2 was significantly associated with severity of OSA for the moderate and severe OSA groups. Conclusions: The results of the present study suggests that patients with metabolic syndrome should be assessed and evaluated for OSAS as it helps in an appropriate treatment with CPAP. Routine screening for metabolic disorders may prevent misdiagnosis and allows physicians to find primary condition and start appropriate therapy, inhibiting the progression of the primary disorder.
