The clinical significance of sleep apnoea in workers exposed to organic solvents: implications for the diagnosis of organic solvent encephalopathy.

P Monstad1, S I Mellgren, I A Sulg.   

Abstract

Among 51 patients referred for investigation of possible organic solvent encephalopathy 20 (39%) had pathological sleep apnoea [apnoea index (AI) greater than 5], compared with 5 of 16 house painters exposed to solvents (31%) who were screened for the disorder, and 1 of 18 (6%) age-matched controls. Twelve of the patients with AI greater than 5 were retested after 2 or more weeks without exposure to solvents, and showed a significant drop in AI. Likewise, significantly lower AI was seen in patients who were no longer exposed to solvents, compared with recently exposed patients. The implications of these findings for diagnostic evaluation of solvent encephalopathy and sleep apnoea are discussed.
