Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare respiratory nocturnal polysomnography (NPSG) characteristics between matched cohorts of upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients. METHODS: All patients received 13-channel NPSG, including esophageal pressure (Pes) manometry. By definition, OSAS patients had an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI, number of apneas/hypopneas per hour total sleep time) > or = 15, and UARS patients had an AHI < 5. Respiratory effort-related arousal (RERA) was defined as the absence of apnea/hypopnea with > or = 10 s duration of progressive negative Pes, culminating in an arousal or microarousal. UARS patients, by definition, had > or = 15 RERAs per hour. Fifteen consecutively diagnosed UARS patients were matched with OSAS patients on the basis of body mass index (BMI) and gender. RESULTS: Respiratory disturbance index (sum of the AHI and RERA per hour) was the same for both cohorts: UARS, 36+/-4; OSAS, 42+/-6 (p = 0.34). There were no differences between cohorts for mean inspiratory Pes nadirs for each 30-s epoch of sleep compared for each sleep stage over an entire night. For randomly selected breaths from supine stage 2 sleep, the mean inspiratory Pes nadir was the same for the cohorts: UARS, -16.6+/-2 cm H2O; OSAS, -16.1+/-3 cm H2O (p = 0.30). Differences between cohorts for each parameter fell within respective 95% confidence intervals. CONCLUSION: With the exception of AHI, respiratory NPSG parameters were the same for UARS and OSAS patients when BMI and gender were controlled for.
