Causes of death in sleep apnoea petients treated with positive airway pressure

Original language description

Backround: According to numerous studies, there is shorter life expectancy and higher all-cause mortality in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients. The death causes in patients with OSA are not profoundly known. Methods: The study period was January 2002 to June 2017; the subjects were patients of the Sleep Laboratory of the Department of Respiratory Medicine in Olomouc, Czech Republic. The inclusion criteria were OSA and positive airway pressure therapy; the exclusion criteria were the presence of a motor neuron disease and contraindication to airway pressure therapy. The information about causes of death was acquired from medical documentation. Results: Over the analyzed interval, 71 patients treated with positive airway pressure died. Eleven patients were excluded (six patients due to a motor neuron disease, five due to global respiratory insufficiency); the remaining 60 subjects were included in the analysis. The mean length of life was 65.6 years; the mean duration of therapy was 3.29 years; the mean BMI was 36.10 and the mean apnoea-hypopnoea index was 49.02. The most common death cause was pulmonary disease (32.8 %), followed by malignancies (26.2 %), cardiac failure with or without myocardial infarction (21.3 %); in three patients, the cause could not be identified. The most common comorbidity was arterial hypertension (73.3 %). Conclusion: Our patients treated with positive airway pressure died almost 10 years earlier than the general population in the Czech Republic. OSA is a serious disorder with comorbidities leading to premature death.
