| Popis: | Background: The impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on later cardiovascular events in people with ACS is still unknown. The study's goal was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The goal of this study is to use the Berlin Questionnaire to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Method: A total of 60 patients were included in this cross-sectional investigation, and the prevalence and risk were determined using the BQ categories, with the percentage derived correspondingly. Category 1 of the BQ includes five questions about snoring, category 2 three questions about daytime somnolence, and category 3 two questions about BMI. If the replies for snoring or daytime somnolence indicated chronic symptoms (> 3-4 times/week), these categories were rated as positive. The patient's BMI of greater than 30 kg/m2 (obesity) implies a positive score in the third category. Patients over 45 years old and obese were shown to have a higher risk of OSA in this study. Results: Among 60 Participants, 10 patients were 36-45 years, 23 patients were 46-55 years, 16 patients were 56-65 years, 11 patients were 66 above. |
