General Analysis of One-Year Data of Patients Applying to Sleep Polyclinic
Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a syndrome characterized by complete or partial constriction of the hypopharynx region during sleep and negative respiration effort and intrathoracic pressure after a decrease in oxygen saturation (SO2).

| description | Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a syndrome characterized by complete or partial constriction of the hypopharynx region during sleep and negative respiration effort and intrathoracic pressure after a decrease in oxygen saturation (SO2).
Snoring, witnessed apnea, and excessive daytime sleepiness are the most common symptoms in OSAS. Polysomnography (PSG) is
the gold standard method used for the diagnosis of OSAS. We purposed to evaluate our patients who were followed up in the sleep
laboratory for a year.
Materials and Methods: 111 patients hospitalized in our sleep laboratory between January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019 were included
in our study. Patients were divided into 4 groups, and their demographic and clinical findings were compared.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 46.55±11.18 years. There was a significant difference in the incidence of hypertension (HT)
in the severe OSAS group compared to the other groups. There was a significant difference in body mass index (BMI) in the severe
OSAS group compared to the other groups. In addition, both rapid eye movement (REM), sleep time, and SO2 levels were found to
be statistically significantly lower in the patients in the severe OSAS group compared to the patients in the other group.
Conclusion: Most of our patients were found to have severe OSAS in cases with a BMI> 30kg / m2. Sleep laboratories and polysomnography play an important role in the diagnosis of this disease. In particular, patients with a diagnosis of obesity and HT should be
questioned in terms of OSAS. |
