Abstrakt: Introduction: Our study aims to evaluate the distribution of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) in patients with sleepdisordered breathing (SDB) via the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and to describe the sleep architecture in SDB patients with and without LPR. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted. Patients with SDB were identified via the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and STOP-BANG questionnaire; they were then screened with the RSI and physical examination for LPR. PSG was performed to evaluate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Results: Of 45 patients, 15 were scored as having LPR via the RSI. Utilizing the Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI), patients were further classified into four groups: 9 non-LPR with non-OSA SDB, 21 non-LPR with OSA, 4 LPR with non-OSA SDB, and 11 LPR with OSA. The prevalence of LPR was 30.8% in the non-OSA SDB group and 34.4% in the OSA group. All SDB parameters in both groups were similar. SDB patients with high body mass index tended to have LPR and/or OSA. Average ESS scores in the four groups suggested excessive daytime sleepiness, and patients with LPR had higher ESS scores. Regardless of LPR status, SDB patients had a lower percentage of REM sleep and a higher percentage of light sleep. Conclusions: The incidence of LPR in OSA patients was similar in non-OSA SDB patients. REM sleep percentage decreased in the four groups, with the non-OSA SDB group having the lowest percentage of REM sleep; light sleep percentage increased in the four groups, with the OSA group having the highest percentage of light sleep.
