Is there a relationship between hematological parameters and duration of respiratory events in severe OSA.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare hematological parameters with the mean obstructive apnea duration (MOAD), mean mixed apnea duration (MMAD), mean central apnea duration (MCAD), mean total apnea duration (MTAD) and mean hypopnea duration (MHD), and blood oxygenation, other polysomnographic sleep parameters in patients with severe OSA. Material and methods: A retrospective study included 120 patients with severe OSA. The correlations between the hematological parameters with MOAD, MMAD, MCAD, MTAD, MHD, and blood oxygenation, other polysomnographic sleep parameters were analyzed. Results: There was a positive correlation between hgb with MOAD, MMAD, MTAD MCAD, MHD; mean oxygen desaturation, and the number of desaturation (≥5%). Also, hgb associated negatively with N1 sleep, WASO (wake time after sleep onset) and positively with REM, N2 sleep, total sleep time, and sleep efficiency. RDW and MOAD, MTAD, MHD were negatively related. Also, RDW related positively with sleep latency, WASO, and N1 sleep; negatively with sleep efficiency and REM sleep. There was no relationship between duration of respiratory events with NLR, PRL, and MPV. Conclusions: Hematological parameters, especially hgb and RDW, can be used to assess the severity of the disease in severe OSA patients in addition to AHI.
