“…In addition, strong associations have been reported between OSA and the prevalence of hypertension (HTN) independently of other CV risk factors [15]. Further, a recent cross-sectional study conducted on around 4000 Egyptian patients with HTN found that 63% of the cohort had uncontrolled blood pressure values despite treatment, and about half of those patients had an increased BMI [16].…”

Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition in the general population that is highly correlated to obesity, and it is associated with major cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In Egypt, obesity rates are known to be high; however, OSA remains largely under-diagnosed, and data on its current magnitude is very scarce. Thus, the aims of the study were to identify the percentage of OSA in a large sample of patients referred for polysomnography and to determine the effect of different demographic data on the severity of the disease. Results This retrospective study included 1012 patients. Medical data were reviewed by sleep specialists. The correlation between age, body mass index (BMI), and neck circumference (NC) with apnea hypoapnea index (AHI) was explored. Also, gender differences were analyzed. A total of 838 patients (81% males, 19% females) were diagnosed with OSA. Patients with mild, moderate, and severe OSA were 204 (24%), 146 (17%), and 488 (58%), respectively. Females were older than males (58.87 ± 10.25 versus 54.39 ± 22.96, p = 0.001) and BMI was not significantly different between both sexes (34.18 ± 13.53 versus 36.73 ± 23.25, p = 0.07), but NC was higher in men (43.56 ± 5.3 versus 39.34 ± 4.41, p = 0.001). AHI was significantly increased in men compared to women (47.97 ± 31.22 versus 37.95 ± 31.72, p = 0.001) and severe OSA was commonly diagnosed in men than women (p = 0.001). A positive significant correlation was found between BMI, NC with AHI, arousal index, average SpO2, and desaturation index. Conclusion OSA is highly prevalent among our patients. Additionally, BMI and NC independently affected the severity of their disease.

Hypertension is highly prevalent, but its pharmacological management has not been well evaluated in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This review examined the prescribing patterns of antihypertensives in LMICs. Data were extracted from a total of 26 studies spanning the time period 2000 to 2018. In 10 studies, calcium channel blockers (CCBs) were the most frequently prescribed medication for managing hypertension (range = 33% to 72%); in 6 studies, renin angiotensin system (RAS) blockers (range = 25% to 83%); in 5 studies, diuretics (range = 39% to 99%); and in 5 studies, β-blockers (BBs; range = 26% to 49%) were the most commonly prescribed antihypertensive medications. Prescribing sedatives and sublingual administration of captopril for controlling hypertension was also reported in 3 studies. Only 10 studies presented their findings in light of national or international guidelines. This review calls for further antihypertensive utilization and dispensation studies and a better understanding of clinician’s perception and practice of hypertension management guidelines in LMICs.
