摘要

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is the most common category of sleep-disordered breathing. It is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, high blood pressure, arrhythmias, diabetes, and accidents. Most patients do not have obvious torment by symptoms and are rarely aware of having difficulty breathing, even upon awakening. This study seeks to verify the essential risk factors related to OSAS. Two hundred ninety medical records of patients who received polysomnography (PSG) examination between January 2005 and December 2005 in one medical center in northern Taiwan were reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups, with OSAS (n=194) or without OSAS (n=96). This study showed that (1) essential risk factors related to OSAS were sex, age, and body mass index; (2) essential risk factors related to moderate OSAS were sex and age; (3) essential risk factors related to severe OSAS were sex, age, and body mass index; (4) essential risk factors related to Apnea hypopnea index (AHI) score were sex and body mass index. This study revealed the essential risk factors of OSAS were male, increased age, and increased body mass index and AHI score.
