Predictors of obstructive sleep apnea: Anthropometric measurements and their significance

Original language description

Background: A patient's condition, such as obesity, plays a key role in the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study focuses on morphometric data that might be associated with the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and could therefore be used to predict OSA in order to better select patients for cardiorespiratory polysomnography (PSG). Methods: Data of 110 patients with suspected OSA in the sleep center outpatient department were analyzed retrospectively. The data included morphometric measurements such as neck, waist, and hip circumference; weight; body size; age; and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). The results of the patients' overnight polygraphy, the AHI, completed the data. Results: Neck and waist circumference can predict the AHI (p < 0.01). Power of prediction was higher for both factors among male (p < 0.01) compared to female patients (p = 0.05). In the case of neck circumference, the threshold value is 40 cm. Neck circumferences of more than 40 cm are strongly associated with a higher AHI (p < 0.001). Conclusion: It was possible to confirm the roles of waist and neck circumference as important parameters for a prediction model. Nevertheless, these parameters alone are not precise enough to completely neglect factors such as anatomic morphology in order to predict OSA and its severity.
