“…However, further studies are necessary to better understand this finding. Concerning BMI, our values (31.1 ± 6.6 vs. 27.7 ± 5.7, p = 0.001) are consistent with those found by Ersözlü et al (34.4 ± 5.9 vs. 29.4 ± 4.0) [23] in patients with similar AHI. Between groups, there was a significant difference in sleepiness symptoms (5.6 ± 3.8 vs. 4.3 ± 3.5, p = 0.008) according to ESS scores, even if both groups were identified as not sleepy differently from the majority of the existing relevant literature [24,25].…”

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often associated with decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aims of this study were to evaluate HRQoL, the clinical and psychological profile of suspected or verified OSA patients, and the impact of PAP therapy at 1-year follow-up. Methods: At T0, OSA-suspected subjects underwent clinical, HRQoL, and psychological assessment. At T1, OSA patients underwent PAP therapy in a multidisciplinary rehabilitation setting. At 1 year follow-up, OSA patients were evaluated for the second time. Results: At T0, OSA patients (n = 283) and suspected OSA subjects (n = 187) differed for AHI, BMI, and ESS. At T0, the PAP-treatment group (n = 101) showed moderate–severe anxious (18.7%) and depressive (11.9%) symptoms. At 1 year follow-up (n = 59), the sleep breathing pattern had normalized and there was a reduction of ESS scores and anxious symptoms. There was also an improvement in HRQoL (0.6 ± 0.4 vs. 0.7 ± 0.5, p = 0.032; 70.4 ± 19.0 vs. 79.2 ± 20.3, p = 0.001) and in satisfaction with sleep quantity (52.3 ± 31.7 vs. 71.4 ± 26.2, p = 0.001), sleep quality (48.1 ± 29.7 vs. 70.9 ± 27.1, p = 0.001), mood (58.5 ± 24.9 vs. 71.0 ± 25.6, p = 0.001), and physical resistance (61.6 ± 28.4 vs. 67.8 ± 27.4, p = 0.039). Conclusion: Considering the impact of PAP treatment on patients’ psychological and HRQoL evaluations that we observed, our data are valuable for unveiling different profiles characterizing this clinical population.

“…This retrospective study offers insight into the correlation between BMI and AHI/nadir SpO2 in patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The complex interactions between BMI, gender, age, and OSA severity are highlighted by the analysis of 167 patients [ 15 ]. The study noted a significant difference in BMI between male and female patients.…”

Background: Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and nadir oxygen saturation (SpO2) are the indexes used to measure the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Obesity, measured by body mass index (BMI), is one of the main contributing factors to the onset and severity of OSA in patients. This study was conducted to find the association between BMI and OSA severity indexes, mainly AHI and nadir SpO2 levels. Methods: Polysomnography reports of patients with diagnosed OSA in a teaching hospital were retrospectively reviewed. BMI, AHI, and nadir SpO2 levels were recorded from the sleep study reports of the patients. Spearman’s Rho test was applied to find the correlation between BMI and AHI/nadir Spo2 levels. Results: A total of 167 patients were included in the study, comprising 83 males and 84 females. The Mann-Whitney U test was utilized to investigate the association between BMI and gender and age groups. The analysis revealed a significant difference in BMI between males and females, with females having a higher BMI. However, there was no significant difference in BMI among individuals in the early middle and late middle age groups. Spearman’s Rho test was employed to explore the correlation between BMI and AHI/nadir SpO2 levels. The results indicated no significant correlation between BMI and AHI ( p = .122) or nadir SpO2 levels ( p = .239). Conclusion: Contrary to common belief, BMI was not linked to the severity of OSA. It implies that several other factors, independent of BMI, play a role in the disease progression and severity.
