Shorter respiratory event duration is related to prevalence of type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a heterogeneous sleep disorder often comorbid with metabolic diseases, and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is one of them. Although apnea hypopnea index (AHI) is currently the diagnostic criteria for OSA severity, a controversial relationship between AHI and T2DM has been found. On the other hand, the duration of apnea-hypopnea events has been shown to be a useful metric for predicting mortality. This study aimed to test whether average respiratory event duration was associated with prevalence of T2DM.

Methods

Patients referred to the sleep clinic were recruited in the study. Baseline clinical characteristics and polysomnography parameters including average respiratory event duration were collected. The association of average respiratory ev
