Influence of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome on hyperglycemia / 中国耳鼻咽喉头颈外科

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and hyperglycemia by analyzing the level of blood-fasting sugar (BFS) in patients with OSAHS. METHODS The data of BFS and AHI in patients with OSAHS (n=300) and the data of BFS of controls (n=225) were collected. The difference of high blood glucose in the OSAHS and the controls.and the difference of AHI between OSAHS patients with high blood glucose and OSAHS patients with normal blood glucose was analyzed. RESULTS There were 97 patients (32.3 %) with high BFS in 300 OSAHS patients, but only 14 cases (6.2 %) with high BFS in 225 controls. There was a significant difference between two groups. The average of AHI in OSAHS patients with high BFS was 67.8/h, and average of AHI in OSAHS patients with normal BFS was 38.4/h. There was a significant difference between the two groups. CONCLUSION There is a close correlation of OSAHS and hyperglycemia.
