Popis: The combined impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on cardiovascular outcomes remains controversial.We determined whether the combined presence of COPD and severe OSA defined by the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) or degree of nocturnal hypoxemia is associated with increased hazards of cardiovascular events and mortality.Prospectively collected data from adults with suspected OSA who underwent sleep study between 1994 and 2010 were linked to provincial administrative data to determine a presence of COPD and composite outcome. Exposures of interest were: 1) AHI greater than 30, and 2) 10 or more minutes of sleep time spent with oxygen saturation (SaAmong 10,149 participants, 30% had AHI greater than 30, 25% spent at least 10 minutes of sleep with SaIn adults with suspected OSA, the co-occurrence of nocturnal hypoxemia and COPD was associated with an increased hazard of cardiovascular events and mortality with a synergistic effect found only in women.
