Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in primary care patients with hypertension

BACKGROUND: As the number of patients with hypertension who have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) might be underestimated, this study aimed to explore the prevalence of OSA and develop a diagnostic algorithm for moderate or severe OSA among primary care (PC) patients with hypertension. METHODS: This mu...

description BACKGROUND: As the number of patients with hypertension who have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) might be underestimated, this study aimed to explore the prevalence of OSA and develop a diagnostic algorithm for moderate or severe OSA among primary care (PC) patients with hypertension. METHODS: This multicenter cross‐sectional study enrolled patients diagnosed with hypertension aged 18 years or older in Japan from October 2012 to September 2014. RESULTS: Forty‐nine patients (64.5%) had 22 or more obstructive respiratory events during sleep. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of OSA among PC patients with hypertension might be much higher than previously thought.
