Obstrüktif Uyku Apnesi Sendromu Araştırılan Hastalarda Fizik Muayenenin Önemi
Amaç: Obstrüktif uyku apnesi sendromu (OUAS) araştırılan hastalarda, fizik muayene bulguları ve Epworth Uykululuk Skalası (EUS)’nun apnehipopneindeksi (AHİ) ile korelasyonuna bakılması amaçlandı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Horlama, tanıklı apne, gündüz uykululuk şikayeti ile başvuran, OUAS araştırılan ve nokturnal polisomnografi (PSG) yapılanhastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların fizik muayene bulguları, EUS skorları, AHİ değerleri, minimum oksijen satürasyonları (minimum: SpO2)kayıt edildi.Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil olan 120 hastanın %44,2’si (n=53) basit horlama, %18,3’si (n=22) hafif OUAS, %14,2’si (n=17) orta OUAS, %23,3’sü (n=28)ağır OUAS tanısı aldı. AHİ ile vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) ve boyun çevresi arasındaki pozitif korelasyon kuruldu (Sırasıyla r=0,238, p=0,009; r=0,484,p
The Role of Physical Examination in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apne Syndrome
Objectives: To correlate the physical examination findings, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in patients investigated for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Materials and Methods: Patients who are investigated with a nocturnal polysomnography (PSG) for OSAS due to snoring, witnessed apnea, daytime sleepiness symptoms included in this study. Physical examination findings, ESS scores, AHI and minimum oxygen saturations (min: SpO2) were noted. Results: One-hundred-twenty patients were diagnosed; simple snoring (44.2%, n=53), mild OSAS (18.3%, n=22), moderate OSAS (14.2%, n=17) and severe OSAS (23.3%, n=28). We found a positive correlation between body mass index (BMI), neck circumference and AHI (r=0.238, p=0.009; r=0.484, p
