Title: The correlation between obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome and the risk of stroke
Abstract: Objective To analyze the correlation between obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and the risk of stroke.Methods 45 cases of OSAHS in our hospital from March 2010to March 2013 were divided into OSAHS low-risk group (26 cases) and OSAHS high-risk group (19 cases) according to apnea and hypopnea index (AHI).At the same time randomly selected 30 patients without OSAHS in our hospital as control group.Analyzed stroke risk factors among 3 groups and the correlation between OSAHS and stroke risk factors.Results There were significant differences in age,smoking index,blood pressure,blood lipids and homocysteine among 3 groups.Age,smoking index,blood pressure,blood lipids and homocysteine in OSAHS high-risk group were significantly higher than those in OSAHS low-risk group and control group,and those in OSAHS low-risk group were significantly higher than those in control group.Age,smoking index,blood pressure,blood lipids and homocvsteine significantly went up accompanied by the increase of OSAHS degree.Conclusion It has a significant correlation between OSAHS and the risk of stroke.
