Sleep quality in COPD patients: correlation with disease severity and health st...
Clímaco,Danielle Cristina Silva; Lustosa,Thais C; Silva,Marcus Vinícius de França Pereira; Lins-Filho,Ozeas L; Rodrigues,Valesca KehrleABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate clinical predictors of poor sleep quality in COPD patients with and without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: Consecutive stable patients with COPD were evaluated for OSA by means of overnight polysomnography; for sleep quality by means of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); and for disease impact by means of the COPD Assessment Test. COPD severity was graded in acco...
Brazilian Thoracic Association Consensus on Sleep-disordered Breathing
Duarte,Ricardo Luiz de Menezes; Togeiro,Sonia Maria Guimarães Pereira; Palombini,Luciana de Oliveira; Rizzatti,Fabíola Paula GalhardoABSTRACT Sleep is essential for the proper functioning of all individuals. Sleep-disordered breathing can occur at any age and is a common reason for medical visits. The objective of this consensus is to update knowledge about the main causes of sleep-disordered breathing in adult and pediatric populations, with an emphasis on obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is an extremely prevalent but often ...
Construct validity and reproducibility of the six-minute step test in subjects ...
Magalhães,Matheus Gustavo Silva; Teixeira,Juliana Baptista; Santos,Ana Maria Bezerra; Clímaco,Danielle Cristina Silva; Silva,Thayse Neves SantosABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the construct validity and reproducibility of the six-minute step test (6MST) in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Methods: We evaluated 48 volunteers diagnosed with OSA and treated with CPAP for at least two months. The volunteers underwent the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and the 6MST, in random order and on d...
Comparison of nasal geometry among adults with obstructive sleep apnea: a preli...
Rocha,Jackson Ítalo Tavares da; Lima,Anna Myrna Jaguaribe de; Silva,Hilton Justino da; Gomes,Adriana de Oliveira Camargo; Vitorino,Paulo AugustoABSTRACT Purpose: to compare nasal geometry between two groups of patients with different degrees of obstructive sleep apnea and to correlate apnea-hypopnea index, apnea severity and degree of daytime sleepiness with nasal areas and volume. Methods: a total of 20 adults (15 women and 5 men, mean age of 52.0±11.4 years old) without nasal obstruction were submitted to polysomnography. The subjects were divided in...
Determinação da eficiência do VEF6 como substituto da CVF na triagem diagnóstic...
Lundgren,Fernando Luiz Cavalcanti; Cabral,Marília Montenegro; Clímaco,Danielle Cristina Silva; Macedo,Liana Gonçalves de; Coelho,Marta de Andrade LimaOBJETIVO: Determinar a eficácia do uso do volume expiratório forçado nos primeiros seis segundos (VEF6) como substituto da capacidade vital forçada (CVF) na triagem diagnóstica da doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC) através da comparação entre as medidas da relação VEF1/CVF e as medidas da relação VEF1/VEF6. MÉTODOS: No ano de 2003, durante o Dia Mundial da DPOC, realizamos uma campanha de triagem diagnós...
