Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients have higher BMI and sleepiness scores. Increased awareness is crucial as OSA is linked to hypertension and accidents.

Area of Science:

  • Sleep Medicine
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a condition marked by loud snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness.
  • While polysomnography (PSG) is the diagnostic gold standard, sleep questionnaires offer good predictive value.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of a symptom-specific questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA).

Main Methods:

  • A proforma including clinical details, OSA symptoms, and the ESS was administered to 20 OSA patients and 40 controls.
  • Statistical analysis included the students 't-test' and chi-square test.

Main Results:

  • OSA patients exhibited significantly higher Body Mass Index (BMI) (29.9 vs. 24.5) and ESS scores (13.3 vs. 4.2) compared to controls.

  • A family history of snoring, hypertension, and road traffic accidents were more prevalent in the OSA group.

    • Conclusions:

    • Elevated BMI and ESS scores are significant indicators in OSA patients.
    • OSA is associated with increased risks of hypertension and road traffic accidents, necessitating greater clinical awareness.
