Defining Extreme Phenotypes of OSA Across International Sleep Centers

Open access

Abstract

BACKGROUND We developed objective definitions of extreme phenotypes of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using a multivariate approach, and demonstrate their utility for identifying characteristics that confer predisposition towards or protection against OSA in a new prospective sample. METHODS In a large international sample, we calculated race-specific liability scores from a weighted logistic regression including age, gender and body mass index (BMI). Extreme Cases were defined as individuals with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥30 events/hour, but low likelihood of OSA based on age, gender and BMI (liability scores >90th percentile). Similarly, Extreme Controls were individuals with AHI<5, but high likelihood of OSA (liability scores <10th percentile). Definitions were applied to a prospective sample from the Sleep Apnea Global Interdisciplinary Consortium (SAGIC) and differences in photography-based craniofacial and intraoral phenotypes evaluated. RESULTS Retrospective data included 81,338 individuals. We identified 4,168 Extreme Cases and 1,432 Extreme Controls using liability scores. Extreme Cases were younger (43.1±14.7 years), overweight (28.6±6.8 kg/m2), and predominantly female (71.1%). Extreme Controls were older (53.8±14.1 years), obese (34.0±8.1 kg/m2), and predominantly male (65.8%). These objective definitions identified 29 Extreme Cases and 87 Extreme Controls among 1,424 SAGIC participants with photography-based phenotyping; comparisons suggest greater cervicomental angle increases risk for OSA in the absence of clinical risk factors and smaller facial widths are protective in the presence of clinical risk factors. CONCLUSIONS This objective definition can be applied in sleep centers throughout the world to consistently define OSA extreme phenotypes for future studies on genetic, anatomic and physiological pathways to OSA.

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.
