“…[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Several explanations for the differences in these observations are possible. Firstly, it could be suggested that sleep apnea affects mood differently in people who are aware of their sleep apnea and that this difference might explain the conflicting results between studies.…”

“…12,13 One study in patients with sleep apnea suggest that there is an association of low oxygen saturation with depressive symptoms but not between the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) with depressive symptoms, 14 whereas other studies suggest no association between indicators of sleep apnea severity with depressive symptoms. [15][16][17] A study including persons with suspected sleep apnea reported no consistent association between the severity of respiratory disturbances and depressive symptoms. 18 This is in line with results obtained from a large study of the general population.…”

“…Macey et al, [25] in a population of 49 people with severe OSA and low comorbidities, found no association between the depressive symptoms assessed with the BDI and OSA severity. Also, Dominici and Gomes, [26] in a study of 123 cases referred to the sleep laboratory, showed a slightly significant association in the univariate analysis between the AHI and BDI scores. This association was no longer significant in the multivariate analysis when other variables were included, such as ESS score, BMI, comorbidity, age, and gender.…”

Amaç: Bu çalışmada basit horlaması olan hastalar ve tıkayıcı uyku apnesi (TUA) olan hastalarda depresyon semptomlarının sıklığı, TUA şiddeti, uykululuk skoru ve depresyon semptomları arasındaki ilişki araştırıldı. Sonuç: Apne-hipopne indeksi ve Beck Depresyon Sayımı arasında ilişki olmamasına rağmen, TUA hastalarında basit horlaması olan hastalara kıyasla hafif ila orta dereceli depresyon daha yaygındı. Hastalar veAnahtar sözcükler: Beck depresyon sayımı; depresyon; Epworth uykululuk skalası; tıkayıcı uyku apnesi.Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between the frequency of depression symptoms, severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), sleepiness score, and depression symptoms in patients with primary snoring and patients with OSA. Patients and Methods:This study was carried out with 105 volunteers (93 males, 12 females; mean age 47±13.2 years; range 20 to 78 years) between January 2010 and June 2013 in our clinic. Physical examination, Epworth sleepiness scale, and Beck depression inventory were applied. Age and sex matched patients were divided into four groups: (i) control group with primary snoring, (ii) mild OSA group (iii) moderate OSA group, and (iv) severe OSA group.Results: This study produced four major findings: (i) Apneahypopnea index was not significantly correlated with Beck depression inventory score, Epworth sleepiness scale score, and body mass index. (ii) There was a significant difference between study groups in terms of the prevalence of depression. Mild to moderate depression was more common in OSA patients than patients with primary snoring. (iii) Beck depression inventory score had no significant correlation with Epworth sleepiness scale score and body mass index. (iv) There was no significant difference between study groups in terms of excessive daytime sleepiness. Conclusion:Although no correlation was present between apnea-hyponea index and Beck depression inventory, mild to moderate depression was more common in OSA patients compared to patients with primary snoring.

“…Studies reported different prevalence of OSA-caused depression ranging from 6% to 54% (7, 8). However, some of the studies could not find an association between depression and OSA (10-12). Depression and OSA are two common entities with health complications.…”

BackgroundDepression is the most frequent psychiatric disorder among the elderly. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic and prevalent disease that has an ambiguous role in triggering depression. Several researches with contradictory findings have been performed about the association between OSA and depression.ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the association between OSA and depression among elderly.Patients and MethodsA total of 350 home residing elderly took part in this case-control study. The participants were selected using clustering method. All cases were divided into two groups of depressed and non-depressed using the geriatric depression scale (GDS). Then they were matched in age, gender, education and body mass index (BMI). Berlin questionnaire (BQ) was used to diagnose OSA. Data analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney U test, t-test, Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests and odds ratio.ResultsTotally, 60.6 % of depressed group and 18.9 % of non-depressed group were in high risk for OSA. A significant association was found between OSA and depression (P < 0.001, OR = 6.61, CI 95 % = 4.1 - 10.7). In addition, a significant association was found between gender and OSA (P = 0.008).ConclusionsOSA was associated with depression among the elderly patients. Given the high prevalence of OSA in older adults, implementation of screening methods is necessary to identify people at high risk of OSA.
