Co-occurring insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea
Abstract
Study objectives Prior research investigating co-occurring insomnia/obstructive sleep apnea (CIO) has mainly focused on comparing comorbid patients, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and insomnia (INS) to those with OSA alone. This approach is informative but omits the potentially interesting comparison of comorbid patients to those with INS alone. Our study used an incomplete factorial design, crossing OSA (present or absent) with INS (present or absent) to more clearly focus on the question, is comorbid INS an epiphenomenon of OSA or an independent disorder? Methods Our study was an archival analysis from the database of a sleep center comparing consecutively diagnosed patients characterized as OSA or INS. A third group, CIO, was derived from the OSA group. Our study was conducted at an American Academy of Sleep Medicine-accredited sleep disorders center. We studied 299 patients, including 94 OSA, 97 INS, and 108 CIO. Patients ranged from ages 15 to 86years. Results Groups were compared on polysomnography (PSG), sleep pattern, sleep stages, sleep pathology, self-reported sleep concerns, and self-reported daytime functioning. From a consecutive group of OSA patients, we estimate the prevalence of CIO at 67.4%. Based mainly on multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) controlling for demographic differences between groups, we found few if any significant differences between CIO and INS alone or between CIO and OSA alone. Conclusions The clinical presentation of CIO is indist…

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.
