Long-term cardiovascular outcomes in men with obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea with or without treatment with continuous positive airway pressure: an observational study

Marin, Jose M, Carrizo, Santiago J, Vicente, Eugenio, Agusti, Alvar GN·2005·The Lancet

Abstract

Background The effect of obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea as a cardiovascular risk factor and the potential protective effect of its treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is unclear. We did an observational study to compare incidence of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events in simple snorers, patients with untreated obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea, patients treated with CPAP, and healthy men recruited from the general population. Methods We recruited men with obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea or simple snorers from a sleep clinic, and a population-based sample of healthy men, matched for age and body-mass index with the patients with untreated severe obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea. The presence and severity of the disorder was determined with full polysomnography, and the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) was calculated as the average number of apnoeas and hypopnoeas per hour of sleep. Participants were followed-up at least once per year for a mean of 10.1 years (SD 1.6) and CPAP compliance was checked with the built-in meter. Endpoints were fatal cardiovascular events (death from myocardial infarction or stroke) and non-fatal cardiovascular events (non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, coronary artery bypass surgery, and percutaneous transluminal coronary angiography). Findings 264 healthy men, 377 simple snorers, 403 with untreated mild-moderate obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea, 235 with untreated severe disease, and 372 with the…

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • There is a movement toward using more objective outcomes such as ODI and/or a 50% AHI decrease to under 15 events/h, which correlates with long-term health risk and mortality.

    “However, there is a movement toward using more objective outcomes (e.g., ODI) and/or a 50% AHI decrease to under 15 events/h into the mild OSA range, which correlates with long-term health risk and mortality.114,118,433,434,638,642,660,683”

    From International Consensus Statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (2023) · cites this paper as [118]

  • Obstructive sleep apnea has been linked to an increased risk of job-related and motor vehicle accidents, more frequent health-related missed workdays, and decreased quality of life.

    “OSA has been linked to an increased risk of job-related and motor vehicle accidents, more frequent health-related missed workdays, and decreased quality of life.8”
  • Subgroup meta-analyses demonstrated a clinically significant reduction in the risk ratio for mortality of 0.4 (95% CI 0.2 to 0.7) for participants without heart failure.

    “meta-analyses demonstrated clinically significant reductions in the risk ratio for mortality of 0.2 (95% CI: 0.1 to 0.5) and 0.4 (95% CI: 0.2 to 0.7) for heart failure 142,146 and no heart failure participants, 137,139,143,144,147 respectively”
  • OSA increases the rate of new future occurrences of hypertension.

    “It has also been substantiated in these studies that OSA increases the rate of new future occurrences of hypertension215).”
  • Severe OSA is linked to an increased risk of fatal cardiovascular events (OR 2.87; 1.17-7.51) and non-fatal cardiovascular events (OR 3.17, 1.12-7.51) compared to healthy controls.

    “severe OSA was linked to an increased risk of fatal cardiovascular events (odds ratio of 2.87; 1.17 – 7.51) as well as non-fatal cardiovascular events (odds ratio of 3.17, 1.12 −7.51) compared to a control of healthy individuals(84).”

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.
