Critical Issues in Dental and Medical Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Journal of Dental Research, Год журнала: 2019, Номер 99(1), С. 26 - 35

Опубликована: Ноя. 8, 2019

This critical review focuses on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its management from a dental medicine perspective. OSA is characterized by ≥10-s cessation of breathing (apnea) or reduction in airflow (hypopnea) ≥5 times per hour with drop oxygen and/or rise carbon dioxide. It can be associated sleepiness fatigue, impaired mood cognition, cardiometabolic complications, risk for transportation work accidents. Although diagnosed physician, interdisciplinary. The dentist’s role includes 1) screening patients factors (e.g., retrognathia, high arched palate, enlarged tonsils tongue, tori, Mallampati score, poor sleep, supine position, obesity, hypertension, morning headache orofacial pain, bruxism); 2) referring to an appropriate health professional as indicated; 3) providing oral appliance therapy followed regular medical follow-up. In addition the device features provider expertise, anatomic, behavioral, demographic, neurophysiologic characteristics influence effectiveness managing OSA. Therefore, treatment should tailored each patient individually. highlights some putative action mechanisms related proposes future research directions.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) recommends that hypopneas be identified using a definition is based on ≥ 30% decrease in airflow associated with 3% reduction the oxygen saturation or an arousal (H3A) for diagnosis obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) adults. This conflicts Centers Medicare & Medicaid Services definition, which requires 4% to identify hypopnea (H4) and does not acknowledge arousals. In 2018, AASM Board Directors constituted Hypopnea Scoring Rule Task Force mandate "create strategy adoption implementation recommended adult scoring criteria among members, payers device manufacturers." task force initiated several activities including survey AASM-accredited facilities discussions polysomnography software vendors. Survey results indicated most scored polysomnograms only definition. Vendors they could easily support dual scoring.

Achieving Better Understanding of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment Effects on Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes through Machine Learning Approaches: A Narrative Review

Journal of Clinical Medicine, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(5), С. 1415 - 1415

Опубликована: Фев. 29, 2024

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects almost a billion people worldwide and is associated with myriad of adverse health outcomes. Among the most prevalent morbid are cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Nonetheless, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) OSA treatment have failed to show improvements in CVD A major limitation our field lack precision defining specifically subgroups potential benefit from therapy. Further, this has called into question validity using time-honored apnea-hypopnea index as ultimate criteria for OSA. Recent applications advanced statistical methods machine learning brought light variety endotypes phenotypes. These also provide an opportunity understand interaction between comorbid better risk stratification. Lastly, heterogeneous effects modeling can help uncover differential outcomes after initiation. In era data sharing big data, these techniques will be at forefront research. Advanced science methods, such machine-learning analyses artificial intelligence, improve ability determine unique influence on ultimately allow us medicine approaches patients reduction. narrative review, we highlight how team via intelligence applied existing clinical polysomnography, proteomics, imaging do just that.

PLoS ONE, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 18(4), С. e0284167 - e0284167

Опубликована: Апрель 6, 2023

Frequent cortical arousal is associated with cardiovascular dysfunction among people sleep-disordered breathing. Changes in heart rate variability (HRV) can represent pathological conditions autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Previous studies showed changes cardiac activity due to arousals. However, few have examined the instantaneous association between and HRV an ethnically diverse population. In this study, we included 1,069 subjects’ full night ECG signals from unattended polysomnography Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis dataset. An automated deep learning tool was employed annotate events signals. The etiology (e.g., respiratory, or spontaneous) each event classified through a temporal analysis. Time domain HRVs mean were calculated on pre-, intra-, post-arousal segments 25-s period for event. We observed that increased during onsets intra-arousal segments, regardless etiology. Furthermore, response occurrence differed according gender sleep stages which occurred. more intense variation females contribute potentially stronger burden long-term mortality. excessive abrupt sympathetic tone elevation REM caused by may provide insights sudden death.
