Non-dipping blood pressure pattern is associated with higher risk of new-onset diabetes in hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnea: UROSAH data.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Impairment of circadian blood pressure (BP) patterns has been associated with cardiovascular risks and events in individuals with hypertension and in general populations, which are more likely to be found in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aim of this study was to investigate the association of non-dipping BP pattern with new-onset diabetes in hypertensive patients with OSA, based on Urumqi Research on Sleep Apnea and Hypertension (UROSAH) data.

Materials and methods

This retrospective cohort study included 1841 hypertensive patients at least 18 years of age, who were diagnosed with OSA without baseline diabetes and had adequate ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) data at enrollment. The exposure of interest for the present study was the circadian BP pat
