我们比较了8名被诊断为老年睡眠呼吸暂停综合征(GSA)的患者和12名年龄、性别、体重、教育程度和社会经济地位相匹配的健康老年对照组(GCON)。如果患者有呼吸暂停+低通气指数(AHI)5=10，且至少涉及以下两种损害：高血压、心律失常或日间睡眠过多，则诊断为GSA。除了在选择变量(如AHI、高血压频率、多重睡眠潜伏期测试)上的显著差异外，GSAS患者的睡眠障碍明显更多，主观指标更昏昏欲睡，更抑郁，在非语言问题解决和非语言记忆测试中得分更低。因此，GSA类似于中年人群中描述的SA。需要更多的研究来确定最有效的诊断参数，以确定老年人sdb的病理水平。
We compared 8 patients diagnosed with geriatric sleep apnea syndrome (GSAS) with 12 healthy older controls (GCON) matched on age, sex, weight, education, and socioeconomic standing. GSAS was diagnosed if patients had an apnea + hypopnea index (AHI) 5= 10 and an impairment involving at least two of the following: hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, or daytime hypersomnolence. In addition to significant differences on selection variables (e.g., AHI, frequency of hypertension, Multiple Sleep Latency Test), GSAS patients had significantly more sleep disturbance, were sleepier on subjective measures, were more depressed, and had lower scores on tests of nonverbal problem solving and nonverbal memory. Thus, GSAS resembles SAS described in middle-aged populations. More research is needed to determine the most efficient diagnostic parameters for identifying pathological levels ofsdb in older persons.
