Relationship between respiratory function and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea hypopnea syndrome

  Objective  To explore the relationship between respiratory function and carotid artery lesions in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).  Methods  A total of 127 patients with OSAHS who were treated in the Anji Third People's Hospital from July 2016 to December 2019 were selected as the research objects. All patients were divided into mild hypoxia group (n=34), moderate hypoxia group (n=52) and severe hypoxia group (n=41). Polysomnography (PSG) index, carotid plaque detection rate and intima-media thickness (IMT) of the different groups were compared. Pearson correlation was used to analyse the relationship between PSG and carotid IMT.  Results  apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI) and oxygen desaturation lasting time in mild hypoxia group were lower than those in moderate hypoxia group and severe hypoxia group (all P < 0.05). lowest oxygen saturation(LSaO₂) in mild hypoxia group was (77.47±6.58)%, which was higher than that in moderate hypoxia group [(72.37±7.37)%] and severe hypoxia group [(68.37±6.90)%]. IMT, plate number and Crouse score in mild hypoxia group were lower than those in moderate hypoxia group and severe hypoxia group (all P < 0.05). The detection rates of plaque in the mild, moderate and severe hypoxia groups were 14.71%, 25.00% and 53.66%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=14.793, P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that IMT was positively correlated with AHI, ODI and Maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD, all P < 0.05) and negatively correlated with LSaO₂ (r=-0.605, P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The respiratory function of patients with OSAHS is related to carotid artery disease. The higher the AHI and ODI, the higher the IMT. PSG-related indexes must be identified and intervened in time to reduce the degree of carotid artery disease.
