AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigated how excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) affects health-related quality of life for patients with obstructive sleep apnea and their partners.
  • A time trade-off method was used in a UK sample to measure utility values on a scale from 0 to 1, as participants evaluated the trade-off between time in a severely affected state versus full health.
  • Results showed that both patients and partners experienced declining utility scores with increased severity of EDS, highlighting the significant negative impact on their quality of life.

Article Abstract

Study Objectives: This study aimed to quantify the impact of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) on patient and patient's partner health-related quality of life in the form of utility values typically used in health economic evaluations.

Methods: A time trade-off study was conducted in a UK general population sample (representing a societal perspective) to elicit utility values, measured on a 0 to 1 scale, for health states with varying obstructive sleep apnea-associated EDS severity. In a time trade-off study, health states are described, and participants "trade off" time in a specific higher severity state for a shorter amount of time in full health.

Results: Overall, the sample consisted of 104 participants, who were interviewed and took part in the time trade-off exercise to elicit utility values for patient and partner residual EDS health states. The average utility score declined with increasing obstructive sleep apnea-associated EDS severity for both patient (no EDS, 0.926; mild EDS, 0.794; moderate EDS, 0.614; severe EDS, 0.546) and partner (no EDS, 0.955; mild EDS, 0.882; moderate EDS, 0.751; severe EDS, 0.670) health states.

Conclusions: These results demonstrate the high impact that EDS in obstructive sleep apnea is estimated to have on patient and partner health-related quality of life.

To assess the impact of resident involvement and resident postgraduate year (PGY) on head and neck obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) surgical outcomes. We analyzed head and neck OSA surgeries from 2005-2012 via the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Demographic, preoperative, and postoperative variables were analyzed via multivariate regression to determine the impact of resident involvement and resident PGY on 30-day outcomes.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder marked by repeated episodes of partial or complete upper airway obstruction during sleep, which leads to intermittent hypoxia and fragmented sleep. These disruptions negatively impact cardiovascular health, metabolic function, and overall quality of life. Obesity is a major modifiable risk factor for OSA, as it contributes to both anatomical and physiological mechanisms that increase the likelihood of airway collapse during sleep.

Background And Objective: There is no satisfactory treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) because of poor tolerance of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. Supplemental oxygen therapy has been shown to reduce hypoxemia and is well tolerated in patients with ILD. However, little is known about the effect of nocturnal oxygen supplementation (NOS) on OSA in patients with ILD.

Background: The pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is still unknown, despite clinical reports linking the two conditions. After investigating potential roles for DM-related genes in the pathophysiology of OSA, our goal is to investigate the molecular significance of the condition. Machine learning is a useful approach to understanding complex gene expression data to find biomarkers for the diagnosis of OSA.
