- Rationale: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an ongoing pandemic, in which obesity, hypertension, and diabetes have been linked to poor outcomes. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with these conditions and may influence the prognosis of adults with COVID-19. Objectives: To determine the effect of OSA on clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Methods: The current prospective observational study was conducted in three hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey from March 10 to June 22, 2020. The participants were categorized as high-risk or low-risk OSA according to the Berlin questionnaire that was administered in the out-patient clinic, in hospital, or shortly after discharge from hospital blinded to the clinical outcomes. A modified high-risk (mHR)-OSA score based on the snoring patterns (intensity and/or frequency), breathing pauses, and morning/daytime sleepiness, without taking obesity and hypertension into account, were used in the regression models. Results: The primary outcome was the clinical improvement defined as a decline of two categories from admission on a 7-category ordinal scale that ranges from 1 (discharged with normal activity) to 7 (death) on Days 7, 14, 21, and 28, respectively. Secondary outcomes included clinical worsening (an increase of 1 category), need for hospitalization, supplemental oxygen, and intensive care. In total, 320 eligible patients (median [interquartile range] age, 53.2 [41.3-63.0] yr; 45.9% female) were enrolled. In all, 121 (37.8%) were categorized as known (n = 3) or high-risk OSA (n = 118). According to the modified scoring, 70 (21.9%) had mHR-OSA. Among 242 patients requiring hospitalization, clinical improvement within 2 weeks occurred in 75.4% of the mHR-OSA group compared with 88.4% of the modified low-risk-OSA group (P = 0.014). In multivariate regression analyses, mHR-OSA (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.19-0.92) and male sex (OR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.17-0.86) predicted the delayed clinical improvement. In the entire study population (n = 320), including the nonhospitalized patients, mHR-OSA was associated with clinical worsening (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.00-2.39) and with the need for supplemental oxygen (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.06-3.59). Snoring patterns, especially louder snoring, significantly predicted delayed clinical improvement, worsening, need for hospitalization, supplemental oxygen, and intensive care. Conclusions: Adults with mHR-OSA in our COVID-19 cohort had poorer clinical outcomes than those with modified low-risk OSA independent of age, sex, and comorbidities.

- Objectives: We aimed to investigate the occurrence of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and addressed the effect of pulmonary hemodynamics and SRBD indices on the severity of nocturnal hypoxemia (NH). Methods: An overnight polysomnography (PSG) was conducted in patients with CTEPH, who were eligible for pulmonary endarterectomy. Pulmonary hemodynamics (mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP), pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) measured with right heart catheterization (RHC)), PSG variables (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)), lung function and carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) values, as well as demographics and comorbidities were entered into a logistic regression model to address the determinants of severe NH (nocturnal oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO(2)) < 90% under >20% of total sleep time (TST)). SRBDs were defined as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA; as an AHI & GE; 15 events/h), central sleep apnea with Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSA-CSR; CSR pattern & GE; 50% of TST), obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), and isolated sleep-related hypoxemia (ISRH; SpO(2) < 88% under >5 min without OSA, CSA, or OHS). Results: In all, 50 consecutive patients (34 men and 16 women; mean age 54.0 (SD 15.1) years) were included. The average mPAP was 43.8 (SD 16.8) mmHg. SRBD was observed in 40 (80%) patients, of whom 27 had OSA, 2 CSA-CSR, and 11 ISRH. None had OHS. Severe NH was observed in 31 (62%) patients. Among the variables tested, age (odds ratio (OR) 1.08, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.15; p = 0.031), mPAP (OR 1.11 [95% CI 1.02-1.12; p = 0.012]), and AHI (OR 1.17 [95% CI 1.02-1.35; p = 0.031]) were independent determinants of severe NH. Conclusions: Severe NH is highly prevalent in patients with CTEPH. Early screening for SRBDs and intervention with nocturnal supplemental oxygen and/or positive airway pressure as well as pulmonary endarterectomy may reduce adverse outcomes in patients with CTEPH.

- Background: Increased leptin and decreased adiponectin levels are reported in coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Less is known regarding the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on these biomarkers. We aimed to determine variables associated with leptin and adiponectin in adults with CAD and nonsleepy OSA, and evaluate the effect of CPAP adjusted for confounding factors. Methods: This was one of the secondary outcomes of the RICCADSA trial, conducted in Sweden between 2005 and 2013. From 244 revascularized CAD and OSA patients (apnoeaehypopnoea index > 15/h) without excessive daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale score <10), 196 with blood samples at baseline, after 3, and 12 months were included in the randomized controlled trial arm; of those, 98 were allocated to auto-titrating CPAP, and 98 to no-CPAP. Results: No significant changes in leptin and adiponectin levels were observed during follow-up, whereas Body-Mass-Index and waist circumference increased in both CPAP and no-CPAP groups with no significant between-group differences. Alterations in plasma leptin were determined by changes in waist circumference (beta coefficient 2.47; 95% confidence interval 0.77-4.40), whereas none of the analyzed parameters was predictive for changes in adiponectin levels. No association was found with CPAP adherence. Conclusions: CPAP had no significant effect on leptin and adiponectin in this cohort of nonsleepy OSA patients. An increase in waist circumference predicted an increase in plasma levels of leptin after 12 months, suggesting that lifestyle modifications should be given priority in adults with CAD and OSA regardless of CPAP treatment.

- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in adults with coronary artery disease (CAD). OSA that occurs predominantly during rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep has been identified as a specific phenotype (REM-predominant OSA) in sleep clinic cohorts. We aimed to examine the association of REM-predominant OSA with excessive sleepiness, functional outcomes, mood, and quality of life in a CAD cohort, of whom 286 OSA patients with total sleep time >= 240 min, and REM sleep >= 30 min, were included. REM-predominant OSA was defined as a REM-apnea-hypopnea-index (AHI) /non-REM (NREM) AHI >= 2. In all, 73 (25.5%) had REM-predominant OSA. They were more likely to be female (26.0% vs. 9.9%; p = 0.001), and more obese (42.5% vs. 24.4%; p = 0.003) but had less severe OSA in terms of AHI (median 22.6/h vs. 36.6/h; p < 0.001) compared to the patients with non-stage specific OSA. In adjusted logistic regression models, female sex (odds ratio [OR] 4.64, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.85-11.64), body-mass-index (BMI; OR 1.17; 95% CI 1.07-1.28) and AHI (OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.91-0.95) were associated with REM-predominant OSA. In univariate linear regression models, there was a dose-response relationship between REM-AHI and Zung Self-rated Depression Scale but not excessive sleepiness, functional outcomes, and anxiety scores. Among the Short Form-36 subdomains, Vitality, Mental Health, and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores were inversely correlated with REM-AHI. In multivariate linear models, only MCS remained significantly associated with REM-AHI after adjustment for age, BMI, and sex (beta-coefficient -2.20, %95 CI [-0.56, -0.03]; p = 0.028). To conclude, female sex and BMI were related to REM-predominant OSA in this revascularized cohort. MCS was inversely associated with REM-AHI in the multivariate model.

- Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a factor associated with both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and depressive symptoms. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment may decrease EDS in adults with OSA; however, the modulatory role of depressive symptoms on the improvement of EDS is not known. We aimed to explore the association between subscales of the Zung Self-rated Depression Scale (SDS) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) over a 2-year period in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with OSA. This was a post-hoc analysis of the RICCADSA cohort, in which 399 adults with CAD (155 sleepy OSA [apnea-hypopnea index >= 15/h] and ESS score >= 10, who were offered CPAP; and 244 nonsleepy OSA [ESS < 10]), randomized to CPAP [n = 122] or no-CPAP [n = 122]) were included. Three factors were extracted from the Zung SDS, based on the principal component analysis: F1, cognitive symptoms and anhedonia; F2, negative mood; and F3, appetite. In a mixed model, the ESS score decreased by 3.4 points (p < 0.001) among the sleepy OSA phenotype, which was predicted by the decline in the F2, but not in the F1 and F3 scores. The fixed effects of time were not significant in the nonsleepy OSA groups, and thus, further analyses were not applicable. Additional within-group analyses showed a significant decrease in all subscales over time both in the sleepy and nonsleepy OSA patients on CPAP whereas there was a significant increase in the nonsleepy OSA group randomized to no-CPAP. We conclude that the improvement in negative mood symptoms of depression, but not changes in cognitive symptoms and anhedonia as well as appetite, was a significant predictor of decline in the ESS scores over a 2-year period in this CAD cohort with sleepy OSA on CPAP treatment.

- Dyslipidaemia is a well-known risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), and reducing lipid levels is essential for secondary prevention in management of these high-risk individuals. Dyslip-idaemia is common also in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first line treatment of OSA. However, evidence of a possible lipid-lowering effect of CPAP in CAD patients with OSA is scarce. We addressed the effect of CPAP as an add-on treatment to lipid-lowering medication in a CAD cohort with concomitant OSA. This study was a secondary analysis of the RICCADSA trial (Trial Registry: ClinicalTrials.gov; No: NCT 00519597), that was conducted in Sweden between 2005 and 2013. In total, 244 revascularized CAD patients with nonsleepy OSA (apnea–hypopnea index ≥ 15/h, Epworth Sleepiness Scale score < 10) were randomly assigned to CPAP or no-CPAP. Circulating triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels (all in mg/dL) were measured at baseline and 12 months after randomization. The desired TG levels were defined as circulating TG < 150 mg/dL, and LDL levels were targeted as <70 mg/dL according to the recent guidelines of the European Cardiology Society and the European Atherosclerosis Society. A total of 196 patients with available blood samples at baseline and 12-month follow-up were included (94 randomized to CPAP, 102 to no-CPAP). We found no significant between-group differences in circulating levels of TG, TC, HDL and LDL at baseline and after 12 months as well as in the amount of change from baseline. However, there was a significant decline regarding the proportion of patients with the desired TG levels from 87.2% to 77.2% in the CPAP group (p = 0.022), whereas there was an increase from 84.3% to 88.2% in the no-CPAP group (n.s.). The desired LDL levels remained low after 12 months in both groups (15.1% vs. 17.2% in CPAP group, and 20.8% vs. 18.8% in no-CPAP group; n.s.). In a multiple linear regression model, the increase in the TG levels was predicted by the increase in body-mass-index (β = 4.1; 95% confidence interval (1.0–7.1); p = 0.009) adjusted for age, sex and CPAP usage (hours/night). CPAP had no lipid-lowering effect in this revascularized cohort with OSA. An increase in body-mass-index predicted the increase in TG levels after 12 months, suggesting that lifestyle modifications should be given priority in adults with CAD and OSA, regardless of CPAP treatment. © 2022 by the authors.

- Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder with increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The first choice of treatment of obstructive sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pressure, which reduces excessive daytime sleepiness and improves quality of life in sleep clinic cohorts. Nevertheless, the majority of patients with cardiovascular disease and concomitant obstructive sleep apnea do not report daytime sleepiness, and adherence to treatment is insufficient particularly in this group. The current article aims to give an updated overview of the impact of continuous positive airway pressure therapy on cardiovascular outcomes mainly based on the observational studies and the recent randomized controlled trials.
