Abstract

Aim: Weight loss has been shown to improve obstructive sleep apnea and is considered the first choice of treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the weight-management strategies and the relationship between the weight loss and obstructive sleep apnea on obese patients.Methods: A prospective study was applied on consecutive 50 patients with obstructive sleep apnea whose body mass indexes over 25. The first part of questionnaire form and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores was appliedto patients by face to face interviews at first visit between November 2017 and May 2018. All of the patients who applied to the snoring policlinic were offered weight loss. The second part of questionnaire form and Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores was applied to patients after 3 months later and the weights 3 months after weight loss recommendation were also recorded. For the statistical analysis, SPSS 15.0 program was used.Results: All patients were offered to lose weight. 26% of them had only diet; 12% had only exercise and 12% had both diet and exercise. 50% of the patients did nothing to lose weight. 76.9% of the dieters; 100% of the exercisers and 83.3% of those who did diet and exercise, lost weight. There was a statistically significant difference between beginning and control (after 3 months) body mass indexes and Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores of the patients.Conclusion: When weight loss is considered as the patient's attempt, along with the pursuance and maintenance, its compliance is high. Although the number of sample in our study was not suitable for generalization, we confirmed that weight loss had a positive effect on obstructive sleep apnea.

Özet

Amaç: Kilo kaybının, uyku apnesini iyileştirdiği kanıtlanmıştır ve bu hastalık için ilk tedavi seçeneği olarak kabul edilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı obez hastalarda kilo yönetimi stratejileri ile kilo kaybı ve obstrüktif uyku apnesi arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir.Yöntemler: Prospektif tipteki çalışma, vücut kitle indeksleri 25'ten büyük, ardışık 50 obstrüktif uyku apnesi hastası üzerinde yapıldı. Anket formunun ve Epworth uykululuk skalasının ilk kısmı, hastaların Kasım 2017 ile Mayıs 2018 arasındaki ilk ziyaretinde yüzyüze görüşülerek uygulandı. Horlama polikliniğine başvuran tüm hastalara kilo vermesi önerildi. Anket formunun ve Epworth uykululuk skalasının ikinci kısmı hastalara 3 ay sonar uygulandı ve ağırlıkları da kaydedildi. İstatistiksel analiz için SPSS 15.0 programı kullanıldı.Bulgular: Tüm hastalara kilo vermeleri önerildi. Hastaların %26'sı sadece diyet; %12'si sadece egzersiz, % 12'si hem diyet hem de egzersiz uyguladı. Hastaların %50'si kilo vermek için hiçbir şey yapmadı. Diyet yapanların %76,9'u; egzersiz yapanların %100'ü ve diyet yapan ve egzersiz yapanların %83,3'ü kilo vermiştir. Kilo kaybı konusunda çaba gösteren hastaların başlangıç ve kontrol (3 ay sonra) vücut kitle indeksleri ve Epworth Uykululuk Skalası puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulundu.Sonuç: Kilo kaybı hastanın kendi isteği ile olduğunda, takip ve bakımla birlikte uyumu daha yüksektir. Çalışmamızdaki örneklem sayısı genelleme yapmak için uygun olmasa da, kilo kaybının obstrüktif uyku apnesi üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olduğunu doğruladık.
