Abstract
PURPOSE: The current study was conducted to explore the clinical features and risk factors of patients with asthma complicated by obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). METHODS:Patients with asthma who underwent polysomnography in our hospital from August 2017 to December 2019 were enrolled in the study. Data on demographics, pulmonary function testing, polysomnography, blood gases, mean pulmonary artery pressure, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Of 238 patients with asthma, 93 who also had OSAHS formed the observation group and were subclassified into mild (n = 33), moderate (n = 41), and severe (n = 19) categories, while 145 patients with asthma alone were assigned to the control group. No significant differences were found in sex, age, course of disease, or pulmonary function between the two groups (P > 0.05), while the observation group showed more frequent allergic rhinitis and had greater BMI, neck circumference, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), and VEGF than those in the control group (P < 0.001). The peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC in the mild group and the moderate group were higher than those in the severe group (P < 0.001). The durations of AHI and SaO2 < 90% in the mild group and the moderate group were shorter than that in the severe group, and the lowest level of SaO2 in the mild group and the moderate group was higher than that in the severe group (P < 0.05). The mPAP and VEGF of the mild and moderate groups were lower than those of severe group (P < 0.001), with mild group lower than moderate group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Significant differences in allergic rhinitis, BMI, neck circumference, AHI, SaO2, mPAP, and VEGF were observed in patients with asthma complicated by OSAHS. These parameters are risk factors associated with asthma complicated by OSAHS.
