dc.description.abstractIntroductionIntermittent hypoxemia has an important role in the physiopathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) complications. Increased apoptosis due to intermittent hypoxemia may be an important clinical entity in OSA. In this study, we aimed to evaluate caspase-3 enzyme level, which is an indirect marker of increased apoptosis in patients with OSA and to evaluate the effect of OSA treatment with continuous positive airway pressure on caspase-3 enzyme level.Materials and methodsThis study included 141 consecutive patients admitted to the sleep-disordered breathing laboratory within 6 months. Caspase-3 was measured in routine blood samples obtained on the morning of polysomnography (PSG) performed at night. The compliance of the patients to CPAP treatment was evaluated and caspase-3 levels were checked again after treatment.ResultsA total of 141 patients, 39 females (27,7%) and 102 males (72,3%) were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 49 +/- 12 years (min-17, max-77). According to PSG results, OSA was detected in 95.7% (135/141) of the cases. Mild OSA was 35 (24.8%), moderate OSA 39 (27.7%) and severe OSA 61 (43.3%) cases. Median caspase-3 enzyme levels were similar in men and women in the study group. There was no statistically significant difference in hemogram parameters and caspase-3 enzyme levels between the groups divided according to the presence and severity of OSA. It was determined that caspase-3 enzyme level did not change significantly after 3 months of CPAP treatment in OSA compared to pretreatment. Caspase-3 was found to have a negative correlation with both the percentage of daily use of CPAP therapy and the percentage of CPAP device use for more than 1 h per night. It was found that the control caspase-3 level decreased statistically significantly as the percentage of daily use of CPAP therapy increased (r = -0.397, p = 0.030). It was found that the control caspase-3 level decreased statistically significantly as the percentage of CPAP therapy use for more than 1 h per night increased (r = -0.411, p = 0.024).ConclusionThe results of this study did not reveal a relationship between the severity of OSA and caspase-3 levels. However, blood caspase-3 levels decreased as treatment compliance increased, suggesting that CPAP treatment may correct increased apoptosis in OSA. There is a need for more comprehensive studies on this issue.en_US
