Correlation between sleep parameters, physical activity and quality of life in somnolent moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea adult patients.
PURPOSE Several symptoms are described in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), including excessive daytime sleepiness, depressive mood and neurocognitive dysfunction. However, few studies examined the relationship between objective physical activity, quality of life and sleep parameters. The purpose of this study was to determine sleep parameters (evaluated by… (More)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: CT Quantification of Airway Dimensions, Numbers of Airways to Measure, and Effect of Bronchodilation.
PURPOSE To determine the effect of bronchodilation on airway indexes reflecting airway disease in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to determine the minimum number of segmental and subsegmental airways required. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was approved by the local ethical committee, and written informed consent was… (More)
Sleep efficiency during sleep studies: results of a prospective study comparing home-based and in-hospital polysomnography.
To date, the clinical use of unattended home-based polysomnography (PSG) is not recommended. To assess whether sleep efficiency is better at home, we have performed a prospective, crossover, single-blind study comparing unattended home- versus attended in-hospital PSG in a population referred for high clinical suspicion of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome… (More)
Unattended home-based polysomnography for sleep disordered breathing: current concepts and perspectives.
Recently, portable sleep recording devices became an accepted alternative to polysomnography (PSG) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis in patients with a high pre-test probability of moderate to severe OSA but home polysomnography (H-PSG) was not recommended because there were insufficient data. The present review has analysed six prospective… (More)
Detection of bed-exit events using a new wireless bed monitoring assistance
OBJECTIVES To assess, using complete polysomnography as the gold standard, the capability of Heasys(®), an innovative wireless bed monitoring assistance to record body movements and presence and to infer bed-exit events and body position changes at night. DESIGN Descriptive study. SETTINGS Sleep laboratory for patient's recording and home for healthy… (More)
Real-time attended home-polysomnography with telematic data transmission
PURPOSE Home-polysomnography (HPSG) has been proposed as a cost-effective alternative for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis. We assessed, in a feasibility study, whether telematic transmission using the Dream® and Sleepbox® technologies was associated with low HPSG failure rate. METHODS Patients referred by chest physicians for clinical suspicion of… (More)
Sleep disturbances in menopausal women: Aetiology and practical aspects.
Sleep deteriorates with age. The menopause is often a turning point for women's sleep, as complaints of insomnia increase significantly thereafter. Insomnia can occur as a secondary disorder to hot flashes, mood disorders, medical conditions, psychosocial factors, underlying intrinsic sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) or restless legs… (More)
Asthma control measurement using five different questionnaires: a prospective study.
UNLABELLED Questionnaires play a key place in the assessment of asthma control. Different questionnaires have been developed. However, it remains largely unknown whether they can be used interchangeably. We wondered whether the panel of frequently used scores would give similar measurement of asthma control. The present study aimed to assess the agreement… (More)
[Determining factors of walking distance during 6-minutes walk test in COPD patients].
INTRODUCTION In stable COPD, we studied the factors determining six-minute walking distance and dyspnea at the end of the test. METHODS Patients were evaluated by tests of lung function, St Georges' respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) and 6MWT with inspiratory capacity measurements (IC) and continuous oxymetry. RESULTS Eighty-two patients (mean FEV(1):… (More)
Hoover's sign is a predictor of airflow obstruction severity and is not related to hyperinflation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
BACKGROUND Several phenotypes are described in COPD. OBJECTIVES To assess if COPD patients with Hoover's sign (HS) belong to a particular phenotype. METHODS All consecutive COPD patients with varying degree of airflow obstruction that came for lung function testing in one university hospital were prospectively assessed, using clinical and magnetometer… (More)
