Abstract

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and the related factors of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods:One hundred and twenty cases of OSAHS confirmed by polysomnography were classified into mild,moderate and severe groups according to the apnea hypopnea index and night SaO2;and the clinical features of the three groups were compared.Results:The difference was significant among the three groups in terms of age,neck circumference,body mass index,longest apnea time and the index of lowest arterial O2 saturation(P0.05-P0.01).Conclusions:OSAHS can be a great risk factor for public health.Early diagnosis and treatment is essential for the prevention of severe complications of OSAHS.
