Does Smoking Affect OSA? What about Smoking Cessation?

Athanasia Pataka et al.

Summary: The relationship between smoking and OSA is unclear, with contradicting research findings. Nicotine affects sleep quality, and smoking cessation may improve OSA, but there is limited data to support these claims.

Association between lung function decline and obstructive sleep apnoea: the ALEC study

Ossur Ingi Emilsson et al.

Summary: The study indicates that individuals with a high risk of obstructive sleep apnoea experience faster lung function decline in the general population, driven by higher BMI and more frequent OSA symptoms. Additionally, the association between OSA symptoms and lung function decline is more pronounced among asthmatics.

The role of dry mouth in screening sleep apnea

Cheng Zhang et al.

Summary: Dry mouth is a common symptom in snoring and sleep apnea, and integrating it into the STOP-Bang questionnaire can improve its specificity. Further studies are needed to verify the diagnostic accuracy of the modified questionnaire in prospective studies.

Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry in a Spirometry Database

Andrei Schwartz et al.

Summary: The study examined the prevalence of PRISm in a spirometry database and found factors associated with the diagnosis, including predicted FEV1%, body mass index, and restrictive lung disease. The prevalence of PRISm varies among subjects of different ages, genders, and body mass indices.

Association Between Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry and Clinical Outcomes in US Adults

Emily S. Wan et al.

Summary: In a large cohort study of US adults, PRISm was associated with increased risk of mortality, adverse cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes, with obesity, female sex, and smoking being significant risk factors. Further research is needed to determine causality.

Validation of the STOP-Bang questionnaire for screening of obstructive sleep apnea in the general population and commercial drivers: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Lina Chen et al.

Summary: The STOP-Bang questionnaire is a valid and effective screening tool for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in both the general population and commercial drivers. Its high sensitivity and negative predictive value for a STOP-Bang score >= 3 make it a useful tool for detecting and ruling out clinically significant OSA.

A community study of the risk for obstructive sleep apnea and respiratory inflammation in an adult Chinese population

Cheng Zhang et al.

Summary: The study in an adult, urban community in Beijing, China found that plasma SP-D was associated with risk of OSA and BMI, while there was no correlation between EBC IL-6 and OSA risk. Further evaluation is needed to understand the relationship between OSA risk and respiratory inflammation in community populations.

Precision and accuracy of FEV1 measurements from the Vitalograph copd-6 mini-spirometer in a healthy Ugandan population

Wajd Abbas Hassan Hansen et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the accuracy and precision of the copd-6 mini-spirometer for FEV1 in a rural Ugandan population, finding that it underestimated FEV1 at low flows and overestimated FEV1 at high flows, with a slight overall overestimation of 0.04 liters. The conclusion suggested that the copd-6 could be considered as an affordable tool for research on lung function impairment in resource-constrained settings, but further validation in a population with obstructive lung disease is needed.

Prevalence and Characteristics of Individuals with Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISm) and/or Impaired Lung Function in Japan: The OCEAN Study

Toshihiko Kaise et al.

Summary: The OCEAN study aimed to determine the prevalence of impaired lung function in Japanese individuals over 40 undergoing routine health examinations. The results showed that airflow limitation and PRISm were most prevalent among current smokers.

Screening for COPD in primary care, involving dentists, pharmacists, physiotherapists, nurses and general practitioners (the UNANIME pilot study)

Baptiste Hourmant et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the feasibility of implementing COPD screening in a high-risk population and its effectiveness in promoting smoking cessation. At two months follow-up, 43% of participants engaged in a smoking cessation program, with 14% reporting successful quitting.

Summary: This study identified missed diagnoses of COPD in primary care in India and suggested that the use of the COPD Diagnostic Questionnaire alone or in combination with handheld flow meters could improve the accuracy of COPD diagnosis. Further implementation research in this domain is needed.

Serum surfactant protein D, lung function decline, and incident chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a longitudinal study in Beijing

Summary: The baseline serum SP-D levels showed no correlation with incident COPD in the general population. Smoking and age were identified as major risk factors for COPD. Further investigation is needed to determine the effect of serum SP-D levels on the decline in FEV1.
