Purpose: To develop and validate a risk prediction model for coronary heart disease (CHD) in snorers with hypertension, including traditional and new risk factors.
Patients And Methods: Twenty factors were evaluated in the records of 2810 snorers with hypertension. Training (70%) and validation (30%) sets were created by random allocation of data, and a new nomogram model was developed. The model's discrimination and calibration were measured by calculating the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) and creating calibration charts. The performance of the nomogram model was compared with that of the Prediction for ASCVD Risk in China (China-PAR) and Framingham models by decision curve analysis. An optimal cutoff point for the risk score in the training set was computed to stratify patients.
Results: In the nomogram model, the AUCs for predicting CHD at 5, 7 and 9 years in the training set were 0.706 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.649-0.763), 0.703 (95% CI 0.655-0.751) and 0.669 (95% CI 0.593-0.744), respectively. The respective AUCs were 0.682 (95% CI 0.607-0.758), 0.689 (95% CI 0.618-0.760) and 0.664 (95% CI 0.539-0.789) in the validation set. The calibration chart showed that the predicted events from the nomogram score were close to the observed events. Decision curve analysis indicated that the nomogram score was slightly better than the Prediction for ASCVD Risk in China (China-PAR) and Framingham models for predicting the risk of CHD in snorers with hypertension. A cutoff point was identified for being CHD-free (a nomogram score of ≤121), which could be helpful for the early identification of individuals at high-risk of CHD.
Conclusion: The nomogram score predicts the risk probability of CHD in snorers with hypertension at 5, 7 and 9 years, and shows good capability in terms of discrimination and calibration. It may be a useful tool for identifying individuals at high risk of CHD.

Background: Different levels of association between snoring, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus (DM) are reported. There are few published studies on this topic in African countries, and no investigation was conducted in Sudan. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with snoring and the association between snoring, hypertension, and type 2 DM (T2DM) in northern Sudan.

Despite the high prevalence of snoring in Asia, little is known about the genetic etiology of snoring and its causal relationships with cardiometabolic traits. Based on 100,626 Chinese individuals, a genome-wide association study on snoring was conducted. Four novel loci were identified for snoring traits mapped on SLC25A21, the intergenic region of WDR11 and FGFR, NAA25, ALDH2, and VTI1A, respectively.

When these factors are combined, the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) is high. Herein, we developed and validated an easy-to-use nomogram to predict high-risk CHD in snoring hypertensive patients with elevated plasma homocysteine.

Purpose: Snoring patients, as a high-risk group for OSA, are prone to the combination of severe OSA and face serious health threats. The aim of our study was to develop and validate a nomogram to predict the occurrence of severe OSA in snorers, in order to improve the diagnosis rate and treatment rate in this population.
Patients And Methods: A training cohort of 464 snoring patients treated at our institution from May 2021 to October 2022 was divided into severe OSA and non-severe OSA groups.

Reduced slow wave sleep (SWS) has been linked to hypertension in some studies. The aim of the study is to investigate the association between SWS and office blood pressure (BP) in non-hypertensive obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This is a retrospective study of 3350 patients who underwent polysomnography (PSG) in our hospital.
