Popis: Introduction The identification of subgroups of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is critical to understand disease causality and ultimately develop optimal care strategies customized for each subgroup. In this sense, we aimed to perform a cluster analysis to identify subgroups of individuals with OSA based on clinical parameters. Furthermore, we aimed to analyze whether subgroups remain after 8 years. Methods We used data derived from the São Paulo Epidemiologic Sleep Study (EPISONO) cohort, which was followed over 8 years. All individuals underwent polysomnography, answered questionnaires and had their blood collected for biochemical exams. OSA was defined according to AHI≥ 15 events/hour. Cluster analysis was performed using latent class analysis (LCA). Results Of the 1,042 individuals in the EPISONO cohort, 68.3% accepted to participate in the follow-up study (n=712). We were able to replicate the OSA 3-cluster solution observed in previous studies: disturbed sleep, minimally symptomatic and excessively sleepy in both baseline (35.5%, 45.4% and 19.1%, respectively) and follow-up studies (41.9%, 43.3% and 14.8%, respectively). 44.8% of the participants migrated clusters between the two evaluations and the factor associated with this was a greater delta-AHI (B=-0.033, df=1, p=0.003). The optimal cluster solution for our sample based on Bayesian information criterion (BIC) was 2 cluster for baseline (disturbed sleep and excessively sleepy) and 3 clusters for follow-up (disturbed sleep, minimally symptomatic and excessively sleepy). Conclusion The results found replicate and confirm previously identified clinical clusters in OSA even in a longitudinal analysis.
