摘要
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent, yet under-diagnosed condition. Due to its adverse impact on risk for cardiopulmonary disorders, there is interest in pro-active screening of OSA in hospitalized patients. We studied the long-term outcome of such screened patients who were initiated on positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy.Hospitalized patients who screened positive for OSA and were confirmed with post-discharge polysomnography (PSG) were dichotomized by PAP adherence and followed for a period of 12 months to evaluate for the composite endpoint of hospital readmissions and emergency room (ED) visits for cardiopulmonary reasons. Cost analysis between the two groups was also conducted.2042 hospitalized patients were assessed for OSA as part of a hospital sleep medicine program from August 2019 to June 2023. Of these, 293 patients were diagnosed with OSA and prescribed PAP therapy. Of these 293 patients, 108 were adherent to therapy and 185 were non-adherent. The overall characteristics of the groups included a mean (SD) age: 58 years (12.82), mean BMI (kg/m2): 39.72 (10.71), male sex: 57%, and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): 25.49 (26). 78%, 41% and 43% had hypertension, congestive heart failure, and diabetes mellitus, respectively.The composite endpoint of hospital readmissions and ED visits for cardiovascular and pulmonary reasons was significantly higher in the non-adherent group as compared to the adherent group (HR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1-1.54) (p=0.03). The cost of care for both hospital billing (HB) as well as professional billing(PB) was higher for the non-adherent group ($1455.6 vs $1723.5, p = 0.004) in HB cost and $130.9 vs $144.7, p<0.001) in PB. Length of stay was higher for non-adherent patients (2.7 ± 5.1 days vs. 2.3 ± 5.9 days).Hospitalized patients diagnosed with OSA and adherent to therapy have reduced readmissions and ED visits for cardiopulmonary reasons 12 months after discharge. Adherent patients have reduced cost of health care and length of stay during hospitalizations.
