Factors Determining the Need For Bilevel Therapy in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients by Nevra Güllü Arslan

“…The purpose of this study was to investigate which characteristics of these patients or which data in their polysomnography (PSG) may be indicative of BPAP need.Materials and Methods:Comorbid diseases [diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiac diseases, pulmonary diseases], body mass index, neck/core/hip circumference measurements the patients evaluated with total sleep time, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), hourly obstructive/central apnea and hypopnea numbers, mean desaturation index (ODI), rapid eye movement (REM) sleep latency, REM time, AHI in REM and non-REM (REM/non-REM index), average overnight saturation (SaO2), lowest saturation value (min O2%), time when saturation is below 90% overnight (T90), a position dependency in PSG.Results:Presence of DM, hypertension and cardiac disease, elevation of neck/core/hip circumference measurements, ODI, REM index, T90 values and ODI/SaO2 ratios were found to be statistically significant in the BPAP group, elevation in min O2% and SaO2 levels were found to be statistically significant in the CPAP group (p<0.05). …”
