Abstract

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is very common in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary hypertension, due to the predominant respiratory condition, this syndrome is often overlooked or not noticed. Objective: To survey the characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with pulmonary hypertension at Kien Giang Provincial General Hospital in 2023 - 2024. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 112 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the stable phase with pulmonary hypertension. Results: The average age was 71.60 ± 10.08 years old with 92.9% male, main occupations were farmers (27.7%), pensioners (17.9%). 93.8% of patients smoked cigarettes with the number of cigarette packs-year being 32.79 ± 11.13, 69.6% of patients had ≥ 2 exacerbations/year. The rate of sleep apnea syndrome was high in stable COPD patients with pulmonary hypertension (79.5%). Statistically significant association between the rate of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with pulmonary hypertension and number of medication packs - years, BMI and severity of pulmonary hypertension (p<0.001). Conclusion: Sleep apnea syndrome in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with pulmonary hypertension was quite high (79.5%). Monitoring and treatment support are needed to avoid risks and dangerous complications for this group of patients.
