Abstract

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea occurs in patients with type 2 diabetes at a high rate in the population. The disease increases the risk of neurological and cardiovascular diseases as well as the risk of death and medical burden for society. Objectives: To determine the rate of OSA and clinical characteristics of type 2 diabetes patients with reduced blood oxygen saturation. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 72 patients with type 2 diabetes treated as inpatients at the Department of General Internal Medicine, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Results: In 72 cases studied, 44 type 2 diabetic patients had reduced oxygen saturation. The rate of obstructive sleep apnea in this group was 90.91%. Mallampati’s score in this group increases from level 1 to level 4 at 16.67%, 60%, 87.5% and 100% respectively. The rate of snoring in this group was 80.49%, daytime sleepiness was 78.13% and 100% had apnea. Conclusions: Type 2 diabetic patients with reduced oxygen saturation have a very high rate of obstructive sleep apnea, however the clinical manifestations are still typical manifestations of OSA such as snoring and drowsiness daytime, sleep apnea, there is still no clear difference in symptoms of gasping for breath, waking up at night, morning headaches, decreased concentration,... between patients decreased and non decreased oxygen saturation.
