Predictive value of sleep apnea screenings in cardiac surgery patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder associated with increased cardiovascular risks. We explored the predictive value of OSA screening instruments in cardiac disease patients awaiting cardiac surgery.

Methods

In this prospective cohort, 107 participants awaiting cardiac surgery from Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins underwent polysomnography after completing Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Sleep Apnea/Sleep Disorder Questionnaire (SA/SDQ), STOP, STOPBAG₂ and Berlin questionnaires. Score comparisons between groups based on apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 were performed. Logistic regression with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to investigate optimal threshold.

Results

Prevalence of OSA (AHI ≥5) wa
