Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) Predicts Microvascular Complications in Type 2 Diabetes Martin J Stevens MD, FRCP, Professor of Medicine University of Birmingham, UK
Objectives • To understand the prevalence of OSA in diabetes • To describe the mechanisms whereby OSA may exacerbate diabetes complications • To understand the association of OSA with the microvascular complications of diabetes
Prevalence of diabetes macrovascularand microvascular complications ‡ † * Macrovascular Microvascular *In NHANES, “chronic kidney disease" refers to people with microalbuminuria (albumin:creatinine ratio >30 µg/mg). †In the NHANES analysis, "foot problems" includes foot/toe amputations, foot lesions, and numbness in the feet. ‡"Eye damage" includes a positive response by NHANES participants to the question, "Have you been told diabetes has affected your eyes/had retinopathy?" Retinopathy is damage to the eye's retina. In NHANES, people without diagnosed diabetes were not asked this question, therefore, prevalence information for nondiabetics is not available.

OSA: Background • Obstructive sleep apnea is a common medical disorder that affects at least 4% of men and 2% of women. • It is characterized by instability of the upperairway during sleep, which results in markedly reduced (hypopnea)or absent (apnea) airflow. • Apnea/hypopnea episodes are usually accompanied with cyclical oxygen desaturations and cyclical changes in blood pressure and heart rate. • OSA and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) share common risk factors such as age and obesity
Methods • Subjects were recruited randomly from the diabetes out-patient clinics of a tertiary centre in the UK • DPN was diagnosed using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI). Retinopathy was graded using retinal photography. Nephropathy was assessed using eGFR and urine albumin/creatinine ratios • OSA was assessed by an unattended home-based portable multi-channel respiratory device (Alice PDX, Philips Respironics, USA) • An apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 5 events/hour was the cut off to diagnose OSA. AHI ≥ 15 considered to be consistent with moderate to severe OSA

Approximately 40% of patients with type 2 diabetes show signs of CKD1 CKD prevalence was greater among people with diabetes than among those without diabetes (40.2% versus 15.4%)† * Normal kidney function, no sign of kidney damage ** Albuminuria – kidney damage Adapted from 1.

OSA and diabetic nephropathy prevalence • Overall OSA prevalence: 64.3% (144/224) • 38.4% (86/224) mild • 25.9% (58/224) moderate to severe • Nephropathy prevalence: 40.2% (90/224) • Albuminuria 33.0% (74/224) • eGFR (ml/min/1.73 m2) ≥ 90: 45.5% (102/224) 60-89: 37.9% (85/224) 30-59: 15.2% (32/224) 15 -29:1.3% (3/224) < 15: 0% (0/224)
