Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction:

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is the most common respiratory distress during sleep, a prevalence of 2-4% in the general population. OSAS is an independent cardiovascular risk factor, including hypertension twice, frequency of myocardial infarction three times higher, and risk of diabetes five times higher than in the general population. The relationship between mood disorders and cardiovascular risk is known, but no study has been conducted to investigate the relationship between OSAS and mood disorders and affective temperaments.

Aims:

Investigation of the relationship between OSAS and anxiety, depression and affective temperaments in cooperation with the Sleep Lab of the Hungarian Defense Forces Health Center.

Method:

During the surveys, we record laboratory parameters, social and anthropometric characteristics, use the self-reported TEMPS-A (Temperament Evaluation of Memphis,Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Autoquestionnaire) temperament questionnaire, the Short Beck Depression Questionnaire, the HADS-A Anxiety Questionnaire, the Promis-57 questionnaire. Diagnosis is made by polysomnography. For statistical analysis we used SPSS Statistics 23.

Results:

Until now 68 patients with sleeping disorders were involved in our study. The mean age of the patients was 55,3±12,9 (years±SD), 72% was male. 82% of the patients have OSAS.

The prevalence of medium/severe depression symptoms were extremely high 49%. We found anxiety in 22,4% of the cases. Among female patients with OSAS we found significantly higher prevalence of medium/severe depression symptoms (63% vs. 45%, p=0,023) and anxiety (30,7% vs. 19,4%, p=0,31). The most prevalent dominant temperaments were the cyclotime and irritable temperaments (4,25% and 4,4%).

Conclusion:

The depression and anxiety are very common among OSAS patients. A routine screening for depression and anxiety symptoms among them would be an important part of the effective patient care. Timely treatment of anxiety and depression may also improve the compliance of the patients with OSAS. According to our preliminary hypothesis, the cyclotime and irritable dominant affective temperaments were the most common temperaments among OSAS patients.
