CPAP, weight loss, or both for obstructive sleep apnea.
BACKGROUND Obesity and obstructive sleep apnea tend to coexist and are associated with inflammation, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and high blood pressure, but their causal relation to these abnormalities is unclear. METHODS We randomly assigned 181 patients with obesity, moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea, and serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) greater than 1.0 mg per liter...
متن کاملPrevalence of sleep apnea in morbidly obese patients who presented for weight loss surgery evaluation: more evidence for routine screening for obstructive sleep apnea before weight loss surgery.
The incidence of obstructive sleep apnea has been underestimated in morbidly obese patients who present for evaluation for weight loss surgery. This retrospective study shows that the incidence of obstructive sleep apnea in this patient population is greater than 70 per cent and increases in incidence as the body mass index increases. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common comorbidity in obe...
متن کاملPersistence of obstructive sleep apnea after surgical weight loss.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Weight loss may reduce the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but persistence of OSA following surgical weight loss has not been defined. We sought to clarify the impact of bariatric surgery on OSA. We hypothesized that, despite substantial weight loss and reductions in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), many will have persistent disease. METHODS Consecutive patients ref...
متن کاملLiterature Highlight: Surgical vs Conventional Therapy for Weight Loss Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
A two-year, randomized, controlled trial attempted to determine if surgically-induced weight loss was more effective than weight loss from conventional therapy for management of OSA. Patients had a BMI between 35 and 55 kg/m, an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of >20 events, a recent diagnosis of OSA with recommendations to begin CPAP therapy, and at least three prior significant weight loss attempt...
متن کاملSurgical vs conventional therapy for weight loss treatment of obstructive sleep apnea: a randomized controlled trial.
CONTEXT Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is strongly related to obesity. Weight loss is recommended as part of the overall management plan for obese patients diagnosed with OSA. OBJECTIVE To determine whether surgically induced weight loss is more effective than conventional weight loss therapy in the management of OSA. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS A randomized controlled trial of 60 obese pa...
