The Study of Sleep Disordered Breathing in Patients With Interstitial Lung Diseases

Beni-Suef University69 enrolled

Overview

This was a cross-sectional observational study to evaluate the prevalence and predictive factors of SDB in ILD and to analyze the relationship between polysomnography (PSG) findings, pulmonary function, disease severity, parenchymal involvement, and sleep questionnaires ESS and SBQ. This study included 69 patients who were diagnosed with diffuse parenchymal lung diseases by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) chest. All patients were subjected to clinical examination, HRCT, spirometry, full-night polysomnography, and echocardiography.
