چکیده

Objective: To infer the prevalence and variables predictive of isolated nocturnal hypoxemia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with COPD and mild hypoxemia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving clinically stable COPD outpatients with mild hypoxemia (oxygen saturation = 90-94%) at a clinical center specializing in respiratory diseases, located in the city of Goiânia, Brazil. The patients underwent clinical evaluation, spirometry, polysomnography, echocardiography, arterial blood gas analysis, six-minute walk test assessment, and chest X-ray. Results: The sample included 64 patients with COPD and mild hypoxemia; 39 (61%) were diagnosed with sleep-disordered breathing (OSA, in 14; and isolated nocturnal hypoxemia, in 25). Correlation analysis showed that PaO2 correlated moderately with mean sleep oxygen saturation (r = 0.45; p = 0.0002), mean rapid eye movement (REM) sleep oxygen saturation (r = 0.43; p = 0.001), and mean non-REM sleep oxygen saturation (r = 0.42; p = 0.001). A cut-off point of PaO2 ≤ 70 mmHg in the arterial blood gas analysis was significantly associated with sleep-disordered breathing (OR = 4.59; 95% CI: 1.54-13.67; p = 0.01). The model showed that, for identifying sleep-disordered breathing, the cut-off point had a specificity of 73.9% (95% CI: 51.6-89.8%), a sensitivity of 63.4% (95% CI: 46.9-77.9%), a positive predictive value of 81.3% (95% CI: 67.7-90.0%), and a negative predictive value of 53.1% (95% CI: 41.4-64.4%), with an area under the ROC curve of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.57-0.80), correctly classifying the observations in 67.2% of the cases. Conclusions: In our sample of patients with COPD and mild hypoxemia, the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing was high (61%), suggesting that such patients would benefit from sleep studies. Objetivo: Inferir a prevalência e as variáveis preditivas de hipoxemia noturna e apneia obstrutiva do sono (AOS) em pacientes portadores de DPOC com hipoxemia leve. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado em pacientes ambulatoriais, clinicamente estáveis, portadores de DPOC e hipoxemia leve (saturação de oxigênio = 90-94%) em um centro clínico especializado no atendimento de doenças respiratórias em Goiânia (GO). Os pacientes foram submetidos à avaliação clínica, espirometria, polissonografia, ecocardiografia, gasometria arterial, teste de caminhada de seis minutos e radiografia de tórax. Resultados: Foram avaliados 64 pacientes com DPOC e hipoxemia leve, e 39 (61%) apresentaram distúrbios respiratórios do sono (14 com AOS e 25 com hipoxemia noturna isolada). A análise de correlação mostrou moderada correlação da PaO2 com saturação média do sono (r = 0,45; p = 0,0002), saturação média do sono rapid eye movement (REM; r = 0,43; p = 0,001) e saturação média do sono não-REM (r = 0,42; p = 0,001). Um ponto de corte de PaO2 ≤ 70 mmHg (OR = 4,59; IC95%: 1,54-13,67; p = 0,01) na gasometria arterial foi significativamente associada com distúrbios respiratórios do sono. O modelo mostrou que, para identificar distúrbios respiratórios do sono, o ponto de corte teve uma especificidade de 73,9% (IC95%: 51,6-89,8%), uma sensibilidade de 63,4% (IC95%: 46,9-77,9%) e valores preditivos positivo e negativo de 81,3% (IC95%: 67,7-90,0%) e 53,1% (IC95%: 41,4-64,4%), respectivamente. A área sob a curva ROC foi de 0,69 (IC95%: 0,57-0,80), e a proporção de observações corretamente classificadas foi de 67,2% dos casos. Conclusões: A elevada prevalência de distúrbios respiratórios do sono em portadores de DPOC e hipoxemia leve nesta amostra (61%) sugere que esses pacientes podem se beneficiar da realização de estudos do sono.

Hypoxemia in patients with COPD: cause, effects, and disease progression

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death and disability internationally. Alveolar hypoxia and consequent hypoxemia increase in prevalence as disease severity increases. Ventilation/perfusion mismatch resulting from progressive airflow limitation and emphysema is the key driver of this hypoxia, which may be exacerbated by sleep and exercise. Uncorrected chronic hy...

Sleep-disordered breathing and COPD: the overlap syndrome.

Sleep-disordered breathing (mainly obstructive sleep apnea [OSA]) and COPD are among the most common pulmonary diseases, so a great number of patients have both disorders; this "overlap syndrome" causes more severe nocturnal hypoxemia than either disease alone. This common combination of OSA and COPD has important implications for diagnosis, treatment, and outcome. Specifically, patients with C...

Associations among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and sleep-disordered breathing in an urban male working population in Japan.

BACKGROUND There are few reports about sleep disturbances in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Asian countries. OBJECTIVES To investigate the associations between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) with hypoxemia and sleep quality, including sleep duration, in patients with COPD, we measured SDB and sleep quality including the objective sleep duration determined by a...

Sleep-disordered breathing, hypoxia, and risk of mild cognitive impairment and dementia in older women.

CONTEXT Sleep-disordered breathing (characterized by recurrent arousals from sleep and intermittent hypoxemia) is common among older adults. Cross-sectional studies have linked sleep-disordered breathing to poor cognition; however, it remains unclear whether sleep-disordered breathing precedes cognitive impairment in older adults. OBJECTIVES To determine the prospective relationship between s...

COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score as a predictor of major depression among subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and mild hypoxemia: a case–control study

BACKGROUND Depression is a common comorbidity among patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and has a significant impact on the course of the disease. The aim of this study is to determine association between COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and major depression among clinically stable out-patient COPD subjects with mild hypoxemia. METHODS Case-control study. Cases were 30 patien...
