Association of Obstructive Sleep Apnea With Cardiovascular Events in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients With or Without Excessive Daytime Sleepiness: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a commonly observed symptom in people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the impact of EDS on the outcome of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and OSA is not known. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between OSA and cardiovascular events in ACS patients with or without EDS.

Methods

This cohort study prospectively enrolled eligible ACS patients who underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy during hospitalization between June 2015 and January 2020. We defined OSA as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 events per h. EDS was described as having an Epworth Sleepiness Scale score ≥10. Major adverse cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events (MACCEs) were the primary outcome and included cardiova
