Joint interaction effect of metabolic syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea on hypertension.

ABSTRACT: Numerous studies have observed a relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension, but the effects of metabolic syndrome on hypertension, and their interaction with obstructive sleep apnea, remain unclear. For this study, a total of 2972 patients were recruited from the Shanghai Sleep Health Study. Data from overnight polysomnography parameters, serum lipids, fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, and anthropometric measurements were collected. The authors then explored the independent associations and multiplicative and additive interactions of predictors of metabolic syndrome with hypertension. A positive dose-response relationship was observed between systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure and quartiles of fasting glucose, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, body mass index, and apnea-hypopnea index. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis showed that, in men, a high triglyceride level, hyperglycemia, and overweight status (and their interaction effect on obstructive sleep apnea) were associated with hypertension. Being overweight and hyperglycemic may markedly augment the adverse effect of obstructive sleep apnea on hypertension in men. Therefore, hypertension therapy should be individualized based on the specific comorbidities of each patient.

Project description:Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper extremity. It is usually associated with the compression of the median nerve in the median groove. Because the main symptoms of CTS pain and numbness worsen at night, sleep disorders in CTS patients and the impact of preferred sleeping position on CTS development have been formerly studied. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study assessing the frequency of CTS in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. This study aimed to determine the frequency of CTS in OSA patients and evaluate the causative relation between the two diseases.Records of individuals who were admitted to our sleep laboratory were retrospectively scanned. Eighty patients who were diagnosed with OSA and did not have comorbidities that might cause OSA (e.g., diabetes mellitus, hypothyroiditis, rheumatic diseases, and cervical radiculopathy) were included in the study along with 80 healthy controls who matched for age, sex, and BMI of OSA patients. To maintain observer blindness, patients were not questioned regarding their symptoms or the clinical data that would be used in the study. All participants underwent nerve conduction studies. Those who were diagnosed with CTS were questioned regarding CTS symptoms and the preferred sleeping position. Subsequently, patients were given the Boston CTS questionnaire.CTS frequency in OSA patients was found to be 27.5%. There was no significant relation between preferred sleeping position or being a manual worker and having CTS.CTS frequency in OSA patients is significantly higher than that in healthy individuals. In contrast to previous studies that have been performed in the absence of polysomnographic and electrophysiological data, in our study biomechanical factors were not associated with CTS presence. Therefore, we conclude that intermittent hypoxemia is the main etiological factor for CTS in OSA patients. Inflammation may be a common factor for etiopathogenesis for both diseases, but this hypothesis needs further investigation.
