Sickle cell disease is the most common life-limiting genetic disease in the United States, with median survival in the 5th or 6th decade depending on genotype. While acute and chronic pulmonary complications are among the most common causes of morbidity and mortality, our understanding of each of these conditions remains limited. Sleepdisordered breathing (SDB) is a respiratory abnormality whose true prevalence and impact on overall SCD pathogenesis are not fully understood. SDB is an umbrella term describing many types of abnormal breathing during sleep; for this manuscript, SDB refers to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and nocturnal hypoxemia in the absence of obstruction (NH). OSA is defined as repeated episodes of partial or complete cessation of breathing during sleep associated with a decrease in oxygen desaturation. In the general population OSA and NH are associated with pathology (poor sleep quality, pulmonary and systemic hypertension, endothelial dysfunction, and stroke) that have direct relevance to SCD; however, associations between SDB and SCD severity and progression have been inadequately studied. 1 The objective of this study was to identify clinical and laboratory characteristics associated with polysomnogram-diagnosed SDB. We performed a retrospective chart review of patients with SCD who had overnight polysomnography (PSG) as part of their outpatient care at Boston Medical Center (BMC) between 2012 and 2016. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was defined in this analysis as an apneahypopnea index (AHI) 5.0 events per hour. Nocturnal hypoxemia was defined as having 5% of total sleep time (TST) with an oxygen saturation below 90%. Clinical and laboratory data were obtained from review of the electronic medical record. All PSGs were performed while patient was clinically stable as defined as at least 4 weeks after a vaso-occlusive event (pain or ACS) or a blood transfusion. Analyses were conducted using Stata 14.0 (StataCorp., College Station, TX). This study was approved by the Boston University Institutional Review Board. Our cohort included 45 African-American individuals (22 adults and 23 children) with SCD who underwent PSG. Seventy eight percent had the HbSS or HbSb0 genotype (96% of children and 61% of adults); remaining subjects had the HbSC genotype. While 51% of patients were referred for sleep studies because of a history of snoring, additional indications included: nocturnal enuresis (43% of children), daytime somnolence, oxygen desaturation at rest or during exertion, or as follow-up after tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy. Individuals with OSA were older compared to those without OSA. The association of OSA with age was driven by gender differences as there was a steady increase in the frequency of OSA after age 15 in males while the frequency of OSA in females did not change significantly change as age increased (Figure 1). There was no association between BMI and frequency of OSA (p5 0.30), though obesity was rare in our cohort. In a multivariable logistic regression model adjusted for age and gender, a higher rate of ACS events prior to the PSG was not associated with increased odds of having OSA (OR 2.09, 95% CI 0.39–11.14, P 5. 39), nor was OSA associated with increased likelihood of a future vaso-occlusive (pain or ACS) episodes. As shown in Table 1, individuals with nocturnal hypoxemia had a lower daytime oxygen saturation, higher reticulocyte percentage, higher white blood cell counts, and higher serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) concentrations compared to those without nocturnal hypoxemia. Individuals with asthma were more likely to …
