Predicting the Outcome of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Iraqi Patients Over 30 Years of Age

Abstract

Background: An adult sleep disease called obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) can be defined by the partial or total collapse of the upper airway while the patient is asleep. OSAHS is now more common in older individuals than middle-aged men and women globally, with prevalence rates of 2% and 4%, respectively. Aim: This paper was predicting the outcome of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in Iraqi patients over 30 years of age. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to predict the outcome of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in Iraqi patients over the age of thirty. This study was submitted for a period between the 15th of July in the year 2021 to the 24th of April in the year 2022 in different hospitals in Iraq. This study contributed to study accuracy. To comparison of the predicted model and the group to ESS and stop-bang as well as in different types of blood pressure. Our data was designed and built using the SPS program. Results and discussion: This paper was focused on prediction the outcome of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in Iraqi patients over 30 years of age. Our results found that almost targeted patients above 40 years where our results got that almost of the patients’ cases were male (67.5%) and more that female (32.5%). Furthermore, this paper was examined the symptoms were found that episodes in which you stop breathing during sleep with (23) and Dry mouth upon awakening (5) patients cases. The study examined the data of blood pressure was found diastolic blood pressure was low with 8 (20%) and high (6) at 15%, which has 17 cases, while systolic blood pressure for apnea patients has 23 cases.  Moreover, this study measured the accuracy of prediction model performance at 83.58%, ESS at 55.58% and 46.63%. Conclusion: Our study found that apnea had a big impact on males more than females where. Most studies have employed the AHI to assess the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as well as the effectiveness of therapy. However, it doesn’t appear to be a reliable indicator of illness severity or a tool for selecting a course of therapy in both clinical research and clinical practice. This study was found that sever level got more cases with (26) patients with mild level with 14 cases
