BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease with chronic, progressive lung fibrosis with a poor prognosis. Recent studies have reported a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in IPF patients and an association with poor prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical effects on mortality of OSA in patients with IPF.

METHODS: Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in 167 patients with IPF at Haeundae-Paik Hospital, Republic of Korea. A type 4 portable device was used to monitor OSA, and an apnea-hypopnea index of 5 events per sleep hour and above was diagnosed as OSA.

RESULTS: The mean follow-up period and age were 26.9 months and 71.4 years, respectively, with male predominance. OSA was confirmed in 108 patients (64.7%). Mild OSA was the most common (62.1%). Independent risk factors for OSA in the multivariate logistic regression analysis were age (odds ratio [OR] 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.13, p = 0.007), body weight (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02-1.09, p = 0.002), and risk based on the Berlin questionnaire (OR 2.76, 95% CI 1.12-6.80, p = 0.028). Shorter six-minute walk distance (6MWD) (hazard ratio [HR] 1.00, 95% CI: 1.00-1.00, p < 0.001), acute exacerbation (AE) (HR 13.83, 95% CI: 5.71-33.47, p < 0.001), and higher percentage of cumulative time with oxygen saturation below 90% in total sleep time (HR 1.08, 95% CI: 1.02-1.14, p = 0.007) were risk factors for mortality in IPF patients in the Cox regression analysis.

CONCLUSION: Approximately two-thirds of the IPF patients had OSA. Older age, higher body weight, and high risk based on the Berlin questionnaire were independent risk factors for OSA in IPF patients. Shorter 6MWD, experience of AE, and night hypoxemia during sleep were associated with a higher risk of mortality in patients with IPF.
