“…Bir başka çalışmada ise habituel horlama ile gece burun tıkanıklığı semptomu ve yumuşak damakta sarkma tespit edilmesi ilişkili bulunmuştur. 18 Burundan solunumun güçleşmesi ağızdan solunuma yol açmaktadır. Bazı yazarlar ağızdan solunumun, ÜSY'de daha yüksek bir dirence yol açtığını ve bunun da uyku apne sendromuna katkıda bulunabileceğini bildirmektedir.…”

ÖZETAmaç: Obstrüktif uyku apne sendromlu (OUAS) hastalardan, sırt üstü yatış pozisyonunda, yan yatış pozisyonuna göre, apne hipopne indeksi (AHİ) en az iki kat artan veya yan yatış pozisyonunda normalleşen (AHİ<5) hastalar yani "pozisyonel hasta"lar ile sırt üstü yatış pozisyonlarında AHİ'de iki kattan daha az bir artış olan "pozisyonel olmayan" OUAS'li hastaların klinik bulgularının, fizik muayene bulgularının ve polisomnografik özelliklerinin karşılaştırılması. Sonuç: Bu çalışmayla, iki yıllık bir süreyi kapsayan hasta kayıtları-mızdan pozisyonel OUAS tanısı alanların temel özelliklerini, hastalığın pozisyonel olup olmamasına göre gruplandırarak belgelemiş olduk. Pozisyonel hastaların bazı klinik, fizik muayene ve polisomnografik bulgularında POH'ye göre farklılıklar tespit edildi. Anah tar kelimeler:Uyku apnesi, apne, tıkayıcı uyku apne sendromu ABST RACTAim: "Positional patients" (PP) were patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) whose apnea hypopnea index (AHI) becomes at least twice as high in the supine position as in the lateral position and an AHI that normalizes (AHI<5) in the non-supine position. Non-positional patients (NPP) were characterised by an AHI in the supine position less than twice as high as in the lateral position. In this study we aimed to compare clinical, polysomnographic and physical characteristics of patients with non-positional and positional sleep apnea. Materials and Methods:Medical records of 500 patients diagnosed with OSA syndrome (OSAS) by polysomnography (PSG) in our clinic, between 2006-2008, were retrospectively reviewed, and 230 of these were included in the study. Patients were separated into two groups according to polisomnographic results as PP and NPP. The clinical, polysomnographic and physical characteristics of the two groups were compared.Results: 112 of the 230 patients (48.6%) were classified as PP. These were younger, with lower body mass index and neck circumflex and a milder OSAS as compared to the NPP. AHI in 31% of the PP fell below 5 in the lateral recumbent position. Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), as assessed by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, was lighter in the PP group. Also, frequency of complaint from year-long nasal blockage and frequency of finding turbinate hypertrophy were more common in the PP as compared to the NPP. Conclusion:In this study, basic features of patients diagnosed as positional OSAS over a two-year period were documented by grouping as PP and NPP. Some differences were identified at the physical examination, clinical and polysomnographic features of the positional and non-positional cases.Keywords: Sleep apnea, apnea, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome Solunum Dergisi'ne www.solunum.org.tr adresinden ulaşabilirsiniz.

“…The prevalence of habitual snoring in middle-aged French males was reported to be 32%. Age, neck circumference, tobacco consumption, weight excess and large soft palate were independently associated with snoring [16]. Resta et al [17] investigated the prevalence of snoring and OSA in obese subjects.…”

Background: Physical and hormonal changes during pregnancy alter breathing patterns of pregnant women. It is possible that occult disordered breathing during sleep may be a risk factor for the development of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and preeclampsia. Objective: Our aim was to determine the incidence of self-reported snoring in pregnant women, and to investigate the relationship of snoring, obesity and neck circumference to PIH and preeclampsia. Methods: 469 pregnant women and 208 age-matched nonpregnant women were included in the study. Both groups were asked to complete a questionnaire. Maternal complications were retrieved from the medical records. Results: Habitual snoring was reported from 1.9% of nonpregnant women, 2.5% of pregnant women prior to pregnancy and 11.9% of those same women during the third trimester of pregnancy (p < 0.001). Age, smoking during pregnancy, and weight before delivery were independent risk factors for habitual snoring in pregnancy. PIH and preeclampsia developed in 20 and 10.9% of pregnant women with habitual snoring, as compared to 11 and 5.8% of non-snoring pregnant women (p = 0.045, p = 0.125, p = 0.415), respectively. In women who developed preeclampsia, weight before pregnancy, weight before delivery and neck circumference were significantly higher in univariate analysis. Neck circumference was an independent risk factor for PIH and preeclampsia according to logistic regression analysis. Conclusion: The incidence of snoring is significantly higher in pregnant women than in nonpregnant women. Snoring may indicate a risk of PIH. Neck circumference was an independent risk factor for both PIH and preeclampsia.

Aim:To investigate the prevalence of snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness and other sleep symptoms in a group of professional wrestlers and to identify the risk factors of snoring in these subjects.Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 55 professional wrestlers and 44 age matched men. All subjects answered nine questions about their sleep and snoring habits and self-graded on a scale of 0 to 4. The questions were also related to demographic characteristics, Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) and general medical history.Results: There were no significant differences in age, smoking and alcohol intake between wrestlers and control subjects. Obesity (p=0.004) was significantly more common and neck circumference (p=0.004) significantly higher in wrestlers than in control subjects. Bed time were significantly early (p=0.006), wake time significantly late (p=0.014), total sleep time significantly higher (p<0.001) in wrestlers when compared to control subjects. Habitual snoring rated was reported by 9.1% of wrestlers and by 6.8% of control subjects (p>0.05). The prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness, witnessed apnea, morning headache, restless leg, insomnia, sleep talking, sleep walking and mean ESS were not significantly different in wrestlers when compared to control subjects.Conclusion: There were no significant differences with respect to habitual snoring, daytime sleepiness and ESS between wrestlers and control subjects. However, obesity and large neck circumference were much more common among wrestlers.
