Prevalence and Predictors of Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Men Participating in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data on the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in people with HIV are limited. Moreover, whether the associations between SDB and age or BMI differ by HIV status is unknown.

Research question

Is SDB more prevalent in men with HIV than those without HIV, and do the predictors of SDB differ between the two groups?

Study design and methods

Home polysomnography was used in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study to assess SDB prevalence in men with (n = 466; 92% virologically suppressed) and without (n = 370) HIV. SDB was defined using the oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), using four definitions: ≥ 5 events/h based on an ODI with a 3% (ODI₃) or 4% (ODI₄) oxygen desaturation, or an AHI with a 3% oxyge
