- Brief Summary
Obesity is a major risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, OSA is still largely under diagnosed in patients with a high cardiovascular risk. In this population the STOP-BANG questionnaire facilitates OSA screening. Moreover, blood bicarbonate concentration is a simple tool to screen for chronic respiratory disease and if elevated, is a marker of cardiometabolic comorbidities in obese patients. A combination of blood bicarbonate concentration and STOP BANG score could provide a cost-effective method of screening for OSA in obese patients. Such screening could enable earlier management and might significantly reduce the costs of treatment and improve the quality of life of patients at 2 years.
- Detailed Description
OSA is a frequent condition in the general population (3% of women and 10% of men), but remains largely undiagnosed. Obesity is a risk factor for OSA. Sleep apnea is associated with diurnal and nocturnal symptoms (snoring, somnolence, fatigue), and with increased cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality. Currently, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold-standard treatment for OSA and the cost-effectiveness of this treatment has already been demonstrated. Easy-to-use procedures to identify OSA patients earlier and thus to initiate treatment earlier, need to be developed and validated. The STOP-BANG questionnaire has been designed to facilitate the screening of OSA patients. Moreover, a measure of blood bicarbonate concentration is a simple method for screening for chronic respiratory diseases and a marker of cardiometabolic comorbidities. A combination of blood bicarbonate measurement and STOP-BANG score could permit earlier screening and less expensive care of obese patients. The hypothesize is that such OSA screening in the obese population (bicarbonates + STOPBANG) associated with earlier care (with treatment if necessary) could lead to improvement in quality of life of obese patients at 2 years.
