- Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship between cognitive impairment and sleep parameters in acute ischemic stroke patients with obstructive sleep apnea(OSA).Methods A total of 343 patients with acute ischemic stroke and OSA were selected.The cognitive function was assessed using the simple mental state examination scale(MMSE).Patients were divided into the stroke with OSA and cognitive impairment group(MMSE＜27 points,n=119)and the stroke with OSA without cognitive impairment group(MMSE≥27 points,n=224).General data,TOAST etiological classification and distribution of cerebral infarction lesions were collected.The intelligent sleep monitoring system was used to calculate apnea hypopnea index(AHI)and evaluate OSA.Objective sleep monitoring parameters were collected at night.Sleep monitoring was conducted within 24 h of admission and continuous monitoring for≥3 nights.Continuous monitoring duration≥7 h every night to obtain night sleep structure parameters.Multifactor Logistics regression was used to analyze the relationship between cognitive impairment and sleep parameters in stroke patients with OSA.Results Compared with the stroke with OSA without cognitive impairment group,the proportion of age,diabetes history and HHcy history,the proportion of patients with infarct lesions located in frontal,temporal,parietal,occipital,thalamus,basal ganglia,brainstem and hemioval center increased in the stroke with OSA and cognitive impairment group,and the number of years of education decreased,the number of waking times,the proportion of light sleep and AHI increased,the nighttime sleep efficiency and deep sleep period decreased(P＜0.05).Logistics regression analysis showed that after controlling for years of education,age and other interference factors,nighttime sleep efficiency and AHI were strongly associated with cognitive impairment in acute ischemic stroke patients with OSA(P＜0.05).The increased nighttime sleep efficiency was protective factor for cognitive impairment,and increased AHI was risk factor for cognitive impairment.Conclusion Cognitive impairment in acute ischemic stroke patients with OSA is closely related to sleep parameters,in which the increased sleep efficiency at night is a protective factor for cognitive impairment,and the increased AHI is a risk factor.
