The Association between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Glycated Haemoglobin A1c (Hba1c) Level in Diabetes Mellitus Type II Patient
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic condition characterized
by repetitive episodes of upper airway collapse, apnea, and arousal during sleep. OSA
and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are common comorbid conditions.
Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is an approximation of an individual’s average blood
glucose level for the prior two to three months, and therefore is considered to be a
major index for monitoring glycaemic control in diabetic patients
Objective:. This study aimed to examine the association between OSA and HbA1c
levels in T2DM patients.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The study assesses the association
between OSA and HbA1c levels in 75 T2DM patients. OSA in the patient was asses
with Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) questionnaire. HbA1c values were obtained
from the patient’s records. Data presented in mean ± SD, max, and min. Correlations
analyses using Pearson correlation coefficient with p < 0.05 were considered
statistically significant.
Results: A total of 75 T2DM has a mean BMI were 25.26 ± 48.31 kg/m2 with mean
HbA1c levels of about 7.1 ± 0.19%. The mean ESS score was 5 ± 0.429. The very
weak correlation between OSA and BMI was statistically significant, r = 0.213; p =
0.047. Meanwhile, a very weak correlation between OSA and HbA1c levels was not
statistically significant, r = 0.137; p = 0.242
Conclusion: Among adults with T2DM, the correlation between OSA with HbA1c
was not statistically significant
