Abstract
Background: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is prevalent among patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). OSA exacerbates cardiovascular risk and negatively impacts quality of life in these patients. This study aims to assess the prevalence and risk factors of OSA in ESRD patients undergoing MHD in a southern rural region of India. Methods: This exploratory observational cross-sectional study included 64 ESRD patients undergoing MHD. OSA risk was evaluated using the STOP-BANG questionnaire. Statistical analysis involved linear regression to explore associations between STOP-BANG scores and various patient parameters. Results: Of the 64 patients (59.38% male, 40.63% female), 70.31% were over 40 years old. High OSA risk (STOP-BANG score ≥5) was identified in 17.19% of males and 3.13% of females. Linear regression revealed significant correlations between STOP-BANG scores and age, neck circumference, and height. Conclusion: The study highlights a substantial risk of OSA among ESRD patients on MHD, emphasizing the need for routine OSA screening and management in this population to mitigate cardiovascular risks and improve patient outcomes. Future research should focus on intervention strategies and longitudinal outcomes of OSA management in ESRD patients.
