Prevalence and correlates of sleep apnea among US Veterans with chronic kidney disease

The prevalence and correlates of sleep apnea (SA) among Veterans with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a population at high risk of both SA and CKD, are unknown. We performed a cross‐sectional analysis of 248 Veterans (18–89 years) selected only for presence of moderate to severe CKD. All participants...

Zusammenfassung:The prevalence and correlates of sleep apnea (SA) among Veterans with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a population at high risk of both SA and CKD, are unknown. We performed a cross‐sectional analysis of 248 Veterans (18–89 years) selected only for presence of moderate to severe CKD. All participants underwent full, unattended polysomnography, measurement of renal function and a sleepiness questionnaire. Logistic regression with backward selection was used to identify predictors of prevalent SA (apnea–hypopnea index [AHI, ≥15 events/hr] and prevalent nocturnal hypoxia [NH, % of total sleep time spent at
