Abstract

Recent investigations have established that patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and insomnia have greater daytime impairments and reduced quality of life compared to those with either disorder alone. The present study reviewed current data on the co-occurrence prevalence of insomnia and insomnia symptoms with OSA and assessed its worldwide and regional prevalence based on World Health Organization (WHO) regions. A total of 37 studies were included in the analysis. The overall prevalence rates of insomnia, any insomnia complaints, difficulty falling asleep (DFA), difficulty maintaining sleep (DMS) and early morning awakening (EMA) found in OSA patients were 38%, 36%, 18%, 42%, and 21%, respectively. According to the regional classification of the WHO, the rates of DFA, DMS and EMA in OSA patients in the Western Pacific Region were lower than those in the European Region and the Region of the Americas. We also analyzed the pooled prevalence rates of OSA based on different apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) criteria in insomnia patients. The rates were 35% (AHI≥5) and 29% (AHI≥15), respectively. Regional differences of DFA, DMS and EMA in OSA patients may be related to sex, age and body mass index.

  • Zhang and colleagues conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis including 37 studies investigating the co-morbidity of insomnia and OSA, and reported that 35% of insomnia patients have an AHI of ≥5, and 29% have an AHI of ≥15, while 38% of OSA patients meet insomnia criteria.

    “Most recently, Zhang and colleagues conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis including 37 studies investigating the co-morbidity of insomnia and OSA, and reported that 35% of insomnia patients have an AHI of ≥5, and 29% have an AHI of ≥15, while 38% of OSA patients meet insomnia criteria [43].”

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.
