UNASSIGNED: Consecutive patients diagnosed with CTEPH who underwent overnight cardiorespiratory polygraphy for the assessment of OSA were enrolled. Time-to-event analysis was performed investigating cardiorespiratory indices (e.g., apnea-hypopnea index [AHI], time percentage with oxygen saturation below < 90% [T90]) and clinical worsening using the log-rank test, and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for multiple confounders.
UNASSIGNED: Of the 71 patients with operable CTEPH who underwent overnight cardiorespiratory polygraphy, 36 (50.7%) had OSA (AHI of ≥ 5) and 32 (45.1%) had nocturnal hypoxemia (T90 of ≥ 30%). A 10% increase in T90 was associated with a 27% greater risk of worse hemodynamics, as quantified by mean pulmonary artery pressure of ≥ 46 mmHg (odds ratio: 1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07-1.50, p = 0.006). Clinical worsening (CW) was experienced by 19 (26.8%) patients over a median follow-up of 26.8 months. AHI did not predict a higher risk of CW (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.00, 95% CI: 0.93-1.06, p = 0.906). A higher cumulative incidence of CW was seen in patients with nocturnal hypoxemia than in those with normoxemia (43.8% vs. 12.8%, log-rank p = 0.017). Cox regression analysis revealed the association between nocturnal hypoxemia and an increased risk of CW (HR: 3.27, 95% CI: 1.17-9.13, p = 0.024), and these associations persisted after covariate adjustment.
UNASSIGNED: Nocturnal hypoxemia quantified by T90 was a risk predictor of short- and long-term CW events among patients with operable CTEPH.
■连续入选诊断为CTEPH的患者,这些患者接受了夜间心肺造影以评估OSA。进行了时间至事件分析,调查了心肺指数(例如,呼吸暂停低通气指数[AHI],氧饱和度低于90%[T90]的时间百分比)和使用对数秩检验的临床恶化,和多变量Cox比例风险模型调整了多个混杂因素。
■在71例接受了可手术的CTEPH的患者中,36例(50.7%)患有OSA(AHI≥5),32例(45.1%)患有夜间低氧血症(T90≥30%)。T90增加10%与血流动力学恶化的风险增加27%相关,通过平均肺动脉压≥46mmHg(比值比:1.27,95%置信区间[CI]:1.07-1.50,p=0.006)量化.在平均26.8个月的随访中,有19例(26.8%)患者经历了临床恶化(CW)。AHI未预测CW的风险较高(风险比[HR]:1.00,95%CI:0.93-1.06,p=0.906)。夜间低氧血症患者的CW累积发生率高于正常氧血症患者(43.8%vs.12.8%,对数秩p=0.017)。Cox回归分析显示夜间低氧血症与CW风险增加之间存在关联(HR:3.27,95%CI:1.17-9.13,p=0.024),这些关联在协变量调整后仍然存在。
■通过T90量化的夜间低氧血症是可手术CTEPH患者短期和长期CW事件的风险预测因子。
