Screening for obstructive sleep apnoea in obesity and diabetes – potential for future approaches

Abstract: Background It is recognised that sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), in particular, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with obesity and diabetes. The complications of OSA include dysregulation of metabolic and cardiovascular homeostasis. With the growing population of diabetes and obesity globally, it is becoming apparent that identifying and screening patients who are at risk is becoming increasingly crucial. Many patients may remain unaware of the potential diagnosis and continue to be undiagnosed. T… Show more

“…3,4 Many studies have demonstrated that OSAS should be diagnosed and treated at an early stage, 5,6 because OSAS can cause serious traffic accidents, 7 long-term hypoxic stress, 8 a pro-inflammatory state, 9 and endothelial dysfunction 10 in various organs. Although some patients with undiagnosed OSAS may visit an otolaryngology department to be treated for their snoring, other patients may visit a psychiatry department for a sense of malaise or a urology department for nocturia or erectile dysfunction.…”

“…44 Weight or BMI should not be the sole measurements considered as they do not account for the distribution of body fat or variance in cephalometric measurements such as the size of the tongue or soft palate. 45 Overnight sleep studies at a sleep center or home devices can be used to diagnose OSA. The advantage of a home screening device is the ease of use, short set-up time and low cost.…”
