Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relation between obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)and tinnitus.Meth-ods The data of subjects aged 20 years or above who participated in tinnitus and sleep questionnaire survey from the 2005-2008 and 2015-2018 National Health and Nutrition Surveys(NHANES)had been used,the people at risk of OSA were selected via the STOP-Bang questionnaire,and the association between the people at risk of OSA and tinnitus was determined by a Logistic regression model.Results Among the 5 183 participants,83.3％(4 320/5 183)and 16.7％(863/5 183)were classified into the non-tinnitus and tinnitus group,respectively.The tinnitus group had higher STOP-Bang scores(3.71±1.51)than those of the group without tinnitus(2.81±1.62)(P＜0.001).The observed prevalence rates of tinnitus in the low-risk,middle-risk and high-risk group were 8.1％(175/1 973),20.5％(435/1 689),27.8％(253/658),respectively.The multivariate Logistic regression model showed that patients with middle-risk and high-risk of OSA had an increased risk of tinnitus compared with low-risk group,with the OR values and confidence intervals of 2.348(1.920～2.871)and 3.136(2.488～3.953),respec-tively(P＜0.001).Conclusion People at risk of OSA are independently risk factors of tinnitus.Higher risk of OSA is associated with higher prevalence and higher risk of tinnitus.
