Predictors of sleep-disordered breathing in pregnancy
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND Sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) is common in pregnancy, but there are limited data on predictors. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to develop predictive models of sleep‐disordered breathing during pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN Nulliparous women completed validated questionnaires to assess for symptoms related to snoring, fatigue, excessive daytime sleepiness, insomnia, and restless leg syndrome. The questionnaires included questions regarding the timing of sleep and sleep duration, work schedules (eg, shift work, night work), sleep positions, and previously diagnosed sleep disorders. Frequent snoring was defined as self‐reported snoring ≥3 days per week. Participants underwent in‐home portable sleep studies for sleep‐disordered breathing assessment in early (6–15 weeks gestation) and mid pregnancy (22–31 weeks gestation). Sleep‐disordered breathing was characterized by an apnea hypopnea index that included all apneas, plus hypopneas with ≥3% oxygen desaturation. For primary analyses, an apnea hypopnea index ≥5 events per hour was used to define sleep‐disordered breathing. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for predictor variables. Predictive ability of the logistic models was estimated with area under the receiver‐operating‐characteristic curves, along with sensitivities, specificities, and positive and negative predictive values and likelihood ratios. RESULTS Among 3705 women who were enrolled, data were available for 3264 and 2512 women in early and mid pregnancy, respectively. The corresponding prevalence of sleep‐disordered breathing was 3.6% and 8.3%, respectively. At each time point in gestation, frequent snoring, chronic hypertension, greater maternal age, body mass index, neck circumference, and systolic blood pressure were associated most strongly with an increased risk of sleep‐disordered breathing. Logistic regression models that included current age, body mass index, and frequent snoring predicted sleep‐disordered breathing in early pregnancy, sleep‐disordered breathing in mid pregnancy, and new onset sleep‐disordered breathing in mid pregnancy with 10‐fold cross‐validated area under the receiver‐operating‐characteristic curves of 0.870, 0.838, and 0.809. We provide a supplement with expanded tables, integrated predictiveness, classification curves, and an predicted probability calculator. CONCLUSION Among nulliparous pregnant women, logistic regression models with just 3 variables (ie, age, body mass index, and frequent snoring) achieved good prediction of prevalent and incident sleep‐disordered breathing. These results can help with screening for sleep‐disordered breathing in the clinical setting and for future clinical treatment trials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
