The association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and abnormal liver enzymes has been reported in multiple studies. The existing literature regarding the relationship between OSA and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is conflicting. Thus we aimed to determine the relationship between OSA and NASH from a large database. A cross-sectional study was performed using the 2012 Nationwide Inpatient Sample. We identified adult patients (18–90 year) who had a diagnosis of OSA using the International Classification of Diseases ICD-9 codes. The control group was comprised of adult individuals with no discharge records of OSA. NASH diagnosis was also identified using the ICD-9 codes. The association between OSA and NASH was calculated using univariable and multivariable logistic regression. 30,712,524 hospitalizations were included. The OSA group included 1,490,150 patients versus 29,222,374 in the control non-OSA group. The OSA group average age was 61.8±0.07 years (44.2% females) compared to 57.0±0.11 years (60.1% females) in the non-OSA group. NASH prevalence was significantly higher in the OSA group compared to the non-OSA group [2% (95% CI: 1.9, 2.1) versus 0.65% (0.63, 0.66), p<0.001]. After adjusting for obesity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, the metabolic syndrome and Charlson comorbidity index, OSA patients were 3 times more likely to have NASH [adjusted OR:3.1 (95% CI: 3.0 – 3.3), p<0.001]. Patients with OSA are three times more likely to have NASH compared to patients without OSA after controlling for other confounders. These data indicate that OSA should be considered as an independent risk factor for developing NASH.
