ABSTRACT

La Sección de Sueño, Oxigenoterapia y Otros Tratamientos Crónicos Domiciliarios, de la Asociación Argentina de Medicina Respiratoria (AAMR) se planteó desarrollar en nuestro país un documento formal que exponga la base científica y costo económica de la cobertura del tratamiento del síndrome de apneas e hipopneas obstructivas durante el sueño (SAHOS). Esta iniciativa se basó en la necesidad de analizar la visión de expertos locales que se desempeñan en la realidad coyuntural cotidiana de nuestro país, para elaborar un documento informativo para miembros del equipo de salud. A su vez, exhorta a los diferentes actores del sistema a determinar pautas claras que sirvan de referencia para la generación de políticas públicas. La agenda se inició en septiembre de 2018 en un grupo de redacción. Luego, revisores de cinco provincias argentinas efectuaron una extensa valoración de la evidencia publicada. Para la edición final se realizó una reunión presencial de discusión y generación de consenso. Se plantearon como objetivos; actualizar la base científica que define al SAHOS como problema de salud de proporciones epidémicas con consecuencias demostrables en la salud, analizar los datos de costo-efectividad del tratamiento con CPAP para las formas moderadas a severas y leves con síntomas y unificar conceptos en relación con la calidad mínima necesaria en los tratamientos que se ofrecen. Finalmente, se analiza la situación en la Argentina sobre la base a datos publicados y se presenta una propuesta de mejora en tres niveles: social y económico, logístico-administrativo y clínico


The Sleep, Oxygen Therapy and Other Home Chronic Treatments Section of the Argentinian Association of Respiratory Medicine (AAMR, for its acronym in Spanish) proposed the development in our country of a formal document exposing the scientific and cost-economical foundation of the coverage for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). This initiative was based on the need to analyze the vision of local experts who work in the daily current reality of our country, in order to create an informative document for the members of the medical staff. In turn, it encourages the different members of the system to determine clear guidelines that could be used as reference for generating public policies. The agenda began in September, 2018 within a writing staff. Then, editors from five Argentinian provinces made a thorough assessment of published evidence. For the final edition, a face-to-face meeting was arranged to discuss and reach a consensus. The suggested objectives were: to update the scientific base that defines the OSAHS as a health problem of epidemic proportions with health consequences; to analyze cost-efficacy data of CPAP treatment for moderate to severe and mild-with-symptoms forms of the disease and to unify concepts in relation to the minimum necessary quality of treatments to be offered. Finally, the situation in Argentina is analyzed basing on published data, and a proposal is presented for improvement in three levels: social and economic, logistic-administrative and clinical.

ABSTRACT

Las apneas del sueño constituyen uno de los trastornos respiratorios crónicos de mayor relevancia en la población general, por su prevalencia, los efectos que produce en los pacientes que las padecen y su impacto en la salud pública. En el año 2013 se publicaron las primeras Guías Prácticas de diagnóstico y tratamiento del síndrome de apneas e hipopneas obstructivas del sueño de la AAMR. Desde entonces se ha generado un volumen significativo de evidencia científica sobre estos trastornos, lo que ha motivado la actualización de estas Guías Prácticas. Un grupo de trabajo, conformado por profesionales entrenados y con experiencia en trastornos respiratorios del sueño, revisó la bibliografía y actualizó los conceptos vertidos en las guías 2013. En su desarrollo se define el cuadro, los criterios diagnósticos y de gravedad, los factores de riesgo, las formas de presentación y sus consecuencias. Se detalla la metodología diagnóstica, sus distintas variables e indicaciones y los requisitos técnicos para su validación e interpretación. Por último se desarrollan las alternativas terapéuticas, así como también aspectos prácticos de su implementación. El objetivo central fue generar una herramienta de divulgación científica, que determine pautas claras que sirvan de referencia para la formación de profesionales, la atención de pacientes con esta enfermedad y la generación de políticas públicas.


Sleep apnea is one of the most relevant chronic respiratory disorders in the general population, given its prevalence, the effects it produces in patients and their impact on public health. In 2013, the first Practical Guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome of the AAMR were published. Since then, a significant volume of scientific evidence on these disorders has been generated, which has motivated the updating of these Practical Guidelines. A working group of trained professionals with experience in sleep breathing disorders reviewed the literature and updated the concepts included in the 2013 guidelines. Clinical aspects, diagnostic and severity criteria, risk factors, consequences and diagnostic strategy are addressed, as well as therapeutic alternatives and practical aspects of their implementation. The main objective was to generate practical guidelines that constitute a reference for the training of professionals, the care of patients with this disease and the generation of public policies.

ABSTRACT

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is one of the most relevant chronic respiratory pathologies due to its high prevalence and impact in morbidity and mortality. In 2001, the Asociación Argentina de Medicina Respiratoria (AAMR) published the first Argentinean Consensus on Sleep-Related breathing Disorders. Since then, wide new scientific evidence has emerged, increasing significantly the knowledge about this pathology. According to this, the Sleep-Related breathing Disorders and Oxygen Therapy Section of the AAMR, decided to update its Consensus, developing this Practical Guidelines on Management of patients with OSAS. A working group was created with members belonging to the section, experts in OSAS. They extensively reviewed the literature and wrote these guidelines, orientated to practical resolution of clinical problems and giving answers to questions emerged from dealing with patients who suffer from this syndrome. The document defines OSAS and describes the diagnosis and severity criteria, as well as the risk factors, ways of presentation and epidemiology. Clinical consequences, mainly on cognition, cardiovascular system and metabolism are pointed out. Different diagnostic methods, with their indications and technical aspects for validation and interpretation are detailed. Finally, we describe therapeutic alternatives, as well as practical aspects of their implementation. The authors’ aim was to generate an accessible tool for teaching and spreading the knowledge on these disorders, which have a great impact in public health.
