While15.3% of the BHR positive patients have excessive daytimesleepiness (ESS >10), it was only 6.6 % in the BHR negativepatients (P=0.06).Conclusion: The patients with BHR that have not yetdeveloped airway obstruction with high score of ESS,endication of polysomnography circle can be narrowed, thewaiting period for the test can be shortened and the spread ofthe disease can be prevented.

Abstract

Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) hasbeen shown to be associated with inflammation of both theupper and lower respiratory tracts which were indicative forbronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR). We aimed toinvestigate the sleep complaints as a manifestation of OSAS inpatients who were tested for BHR with metacolin in ourimmunology and allergy clinic.Materials and Methods: A retrospective cross sectionalstudy was performed. Recorded data consisted of patientswho were tested for metacolin BHR evaluation of asthmawithout airway obstruction (include occupational), chroniccough etiology and allergic rhinitis before planned subcutanimmunotherapy. The patients were questioned withtelephonically about daytime sleepiness, sleep disruption,snoring, choking and apnea using Epworth Sleepiness Scale(ESS).Results: Of the 250 recorded patients 181 patients werecontacted. 73 male and 108 female patients were included inthe study. The mean age was 37.8 ± 12.4 years, BMI was 26.9± 5.1kg/m2, the mean ESS scores were 3.92 ± 3.9, BHR waspositive in 59 (32.6%) patients. Shortness of breath andchronic cough were significantly higher in BHR positivepatients but ESS score was not significantly higher. While15.3% of the BHR positive patients have excessive daytimesleepiness (ESS >10), it was only 6.6 % in the BHR negativepatients (P=0.06).Conclusion: The patients with BHR that have not yetdeveloped airway obstruction with high score of ESS,endication of polysomnography circle can be narrowed, thewaiting period for the test can be shortened and the spread ofthe disease can be prevented.

Özet

Amaç: Obstrüktif uyku apne sendromunun (OSAS), bronş hiperreaktivitesinin (BHR) göstergesi olan üst ve alt hava yolu inflamasyonu ile ilişkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. Çalışmamızda immunoloji ve alerji kliniğimize metakolin ile BHR testi yapılan hastalarda OSAS‟ın göstergesi olan uyku ile ilişkili şikayetleri araştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamız retrospektif kesitlel bir çalışmadır. Kaydedilen data havayolu obstruksiyonu olmayan astım düşünülen (mesleksel astım dahil), kronik öksürük nedenininin saptanması ve allerjikrinit olan hastalarda subkutan immunoterapi öncesi BHR‟sinin değerlendirilmesi gibi nedenlerle metakolin ile bronkoprovakasyon testi yapılan hastalardan oluşuyordu. Hastalar Epworth Uykululuk Skalası (ESS) ile gündüz uykululuk, horlama, uyanma, boğulma hissi ve apne açısından telefonla sorgulandı. Bulgular: Kayıtlı 250 hastadan 181 hastaya telefonla ulaşılabildi. Çalışma 73‟ü erkek 108‟i kadın olmak üzere 181 hastadan oluşuyordu. Yaş ortalaması 37, 8±12,4 (13- 66) yıl, BMI 26,9 ± 5.1kg/m2, ESS skoru 3,92±3,9 idi ve BHR 59 (%32,6) hastada pozitifti. Nefes darlığı ve kronik öksürük BHR pozitif olan hastalarda anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu fakat ESS skoru anlamlı olarak yüksek değildi. BHR pozitif olan hastalarda aşırı gündüz uykululuk (ESS>10) sıklığı %15 iken , BHR negative olan hastalarda %6,6 bulundu (P=0.06). Sonuç: Havayolu obstruksiyonu henüz gelişmemiş BHR‟si olan ve ESS skoru yüksek olan hastalarda polisomnografi endikasyon çemberi daraltılıp test için bekleme periyodu kısaltılabilir ve hastalik tablosunun oturmasi önlenebilir.
