Abstract

Aim: Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is one of the common sleep disorders. Chronic intermittent hypoxia due to partial or complete obstruction of the upper airways during sleep causes systemic effects. In our study, we aimed to determine the frequency of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in patients with OSAS. Material and Method: Our study included 68 patients between October 2013 and December 2015 which the patient was admitted to the ENT outpatient clinic in our hospital with a complaint of snoring and diagnosed as OSAS by polysomnography. IIEF-15 (international index erectile dysfunction-15) questionnaire forms were completed to investigate the presence of ED. Results: The age of 68 male patients in the study are between 25 and 81 years, with a mean age of 44.75 ± 10.654. The lowest and highest AHI values were 5.1 and 82.4, respectively and average 25.750 ± 23.226 (Table 1). 67.6% of patients participating in the study had ED by according to the IIEF-15 survey. Conclusion: ED is an important complication of OSAS which is an important health problem for male patients. ED should be questioned in patients with OSAS.

Özet

Amaç: Obstruktif Sleep Apne Sendromu (OSAS) sık görülen uyku bozukluklarındanbiridir. Uykuda üst solunum yollarında parsiyel ya da tam obstrüksiyona bağlı gelişen,kronik intermitant hipoksi sonucu sistemik etkileri olan bir hastalıktır. ÇalışmamızdaOSAS tanısı almış hastalarda Erektil Disfonkiyon (ED) sıklığını saptamak amaçlandı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza Ekim 2013- Aralık 2015 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz KBB polikliniğine horlama şikayeti ile başvurup polisomnografide OSAS tanısıalan 68 hasta dahil edildi. ED varlığını araştırmak için IIEF -15 (international indexerectile dysfunction-15) anket formları dolduruldu.Bulgular: Çalışmadaki 68 erkek hastanın yaşları 25 ile 81 arasında, ortalama yaş44.75±10,654 idi En düşük AHI değeri 5,1 en yüksek 82,4 ortalama 25.750± 23.226idi (Tablo 1). IIEF 15 anketine göre çalışmaya katılan hastaların % 67.6 ‘sında EDsaptandı.Sonuç: ED, OSAS’ın önemli bir komplikasyonudur ve erkek hastalar için önemli birsağlık sorunudur. OSAS hastalarında ED mutlaka sorgulanmalıdır.
