"the risk of obstructive sleep apne in patients who undergo coroner anjiography" and coroner artery disease prevalance in patients who have OUAS risk factors

This study is a cross-sectional type research conducted to determined the relationship between sleep apnea and its risk factors and coronary artery disease in adult patients admitted to coronary angiography. The sample of this study was included 400 patients who were 20 years of age and over, with cognitive competence, literate, volunteer to participate in the research. The data were collected by using face-to-face interview technique. The findings of the study were included obstructive sleep apneas risky (OUAS) asssesed by risk factors of sleep apnea and Berlin, STOP Bang Questionnaire and coronary angiography' results. The findings were assessed by using Chi-square and regression analysis, 95% confidence interval, level of significance p≤0.05. Thickness of neck circumference was ≥43cm in 18,5% of men, ≥38 cm in 66% of women. 86.5% of the participants did not use alcohol and 73,5% of them did not use cigarette, and the mean age of them was 60,45±1,40, the mean of body mass index (BMI) was 28,08±4,7. 25,2% of coronary angiography's findings were normal. Over from half of the participants had OUAS. In Chi-square analysis, it was found that age and marital status formed a risk for OUAS in both OUAS risk questionnaire. In made further analysis, it was showed that male gender was a factor increased the risk of vascular obstruction. In parallel with OUAS, it was determined that vessel lession's risk increased. Also, it was found that the rate of obsruction in sleep and snore was low level. According to the logistic regression analysis, risk factors of vessel obstuction were age (OR: 1,060, %95GA: 1,025-1,097), neck circumference (OR: 1,139, %95GA: 1,020-1,272), cigarette (OR: 3,146, %95GA: 1,273-7,771), male gender (OR:3,443, %95GA:1,040-1,097) and hypertension (OR: 3,291, %95GA: 1,408-7,693), and it was found that obesity OUAS. The results of this study show that elderly, neck circumference, BMI, cigarette and hypertension were associated with coronery lesion. Acording to this; care providers should focus on relationship between OUAS and its risk factors. Key words: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, risk factors, coronary angiography.
