Investigation And Analysts Of Correlation Between Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome And Depression

The past20years the clinical studies have shown that people withobstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and depression syndrome exists betweenthe close relationship. In recent years, due to the improvement of people'sliving standard,and exist an ageing population, according to the crowdage, gender, and other characteristics of population health and decide,there are two old patients the prevalence of the disease may be higher.Research shows that: OSA may affect more than50%of the populationover the age of65, of which there was significant depression may accountfor the old city more than26%of the population. In clinical practice,follow-up signs of depression OSA patients only consider its treatmentmethods and treatment response, on the other hand, depressive disorderare rarely assessed on a regular basis in patients with OSA. However,OSA might not only be associated with a depressive syndrome, but itspresence may also be responsible for failure to respond to appropriatepharmacological treatment. Improving awareness of the relationshipbetween depression and OSA might significantly improve diagnosticaccuracy as well as treatment outcome for both disorders. In this study,we will analyse clinical data of88patients which have been clearlydiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.,and discuss the correlation of depression with OSA and its influence for clinical work.Objective: To explore the correlation between obstructive sleep apneasyndrome and depression.Methods: Using descriptive research methods, investigate88obstructivesleep apnea syndrome patients. The main tool is generally questionnaire,epworth sleepiness scale, self rating depression scale. The data ofcollection by using Excel establish database, and using software ofSPSS13.0proceed statistical analysis.Results:88OSA patients of depression rate of47.7%. Light, medium,heavy with the incidence of depression is22.7%,44.4%and70.0%respectively.88patients with OSA, with the rise of depression scores,BIM, AHI and ESS were increased, the night SaO2minreduced.Conclusion:1.OSA and depression has correlation, the incidence ofdepression in patients with the severity of the illness of the increases withthe increase.2.88patients with OSA, depression scores and BMI, AHI,ESS were positively correlated,with the night SaO2min was negativelycorrelated.3. OSA patients should be vigilant the depression, and theinvestigation of the depression in patients with OSA should be routine,help to clinical diagnosis and treatment.
