Increased mortality in OSA
Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study
Young et al. Sleep 31:1071-8, 2008 % Surviving Years of Follow-up Total Sample Sample Excluding CPAP Treated Participants
AHI < 5 AHI 5-15 AHI 5-30 AHI ≥ 30 AHI < 5 AHI 5-15 AHI 5-30 AHI ≥ 30
Adjusted HR (95% CI) for CV mortality in people with severe OSA who had not used CPAP versus people without SDB was 5.2 (1.4,19.2).
OSA and incident CVD: the SHHS
Follow-up (years Coronary Heart Disease - free survival by AHI category - Men Chronic Heart Failure – free survival by AHI category - Men Men 40 to 70 yrs old with AHI ≥ 30 were 68% more likely to develop coronary heart disease than those with AHI < 5. Men with AHI ≥ 30 were 58% more likely to develop heart failure than those with AHI < 5 Gottlieb et al. Circ 2010;22;352-60
