Apnea Screening for Diabetes Patients Sensible. Simple. Effective. Reaching out to more patients.
Reasons to Integrate an Apnea Screening Program • Increasing Prevalence • 24%- Nearly one quarter of U.S. men suffer from some form of sleep disordered breathing (SDB). • International Diabetes Federation Recommendations OSA should be considered in the assessment of all patients with Type II Diabetes. • Improving Patient Care • Early detection & treatment reduces risk of disease & death related to other serious health conditions, such as: • Type II Diabetes • Hypertension • Congestive Heart Failure • Stroke New England Journal of Medicine. 1993; 328; 1230-1235. Shaw, et. al. Diabetes Research & Clinical Practice. 2008; 81: 2-12.
Diabetes & Apnea • Diabetes & Apnea Screening Should Go Hand in Hand Evidence indicates that the presence of one disease may trigger biological mechanisms that increase risk of the other. Shaw, et. al. Diabetes Research & Clinical Practice. 2008; 81: 2-12. Pagel, et. al. Supplement to The Journal of Family Practice. August 2008 ; Vol 57, No 8.
Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) in the Diabetic Population Link Between Diabetes & SDB • 58% of Type II Diabetics have some form of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) Health Concerns • Both Diabetes & Apnea significantly increase risk of cardiovascular disease & death Treatment Concerns • Apnea negatively impacts glucose tolerance, insulin resistance & increased risk of metabolic syndrome • Leads to difficulties with diabetes management Richard; Gay & Farrell. The Economics of Sleep-Disordered Breathing. RT: June 2006. Shaw, et. al. Diabetes Research & Clinical Practice. 2008; 81: 2-12
Treating Apnea Improves Factors Related to Diabetes • Improves glycemic control • Improved insulin sensitivity and leptinlevels • Reduces Sympathetic Activation • A key factor in regulation of glucose & fat metabolism, as well as systemic inflammation. – Biological mechanisms thought to contribute to insulin resistance. Reduces Cardiovascular Risk • Significantly decreases blood pressure (BP) • Improves Heart Function • Decreases # of new cardiovascular events & arrhythmias Improves Overall Patient Outcomes • Reduces morbidity & mortality associated with cardiovascular events & stroke • Patients using positive airway pressure have better Epworth Sleepiness Scale & Health-Related Quality of Life scores. Shaw, et. al. Diabetes Research & Clinical Practice. 2008; 81: 2-12 Richard; Gay & Farrell. The Economics of Sleep-Disordered Breathing. RT: June 2006.
Economic Impact of Undiagnosed Apnea • SDB Places Substantial Economic Burden on the U.S. • $3.4 billion Yearly estimate of the medical costs of untreated OSA in the U.S. • $15.9 billion Collision costs directly attributable to OSA in 2000. • $5 billion Yearly loss of productivity attributable to Apnea-related fatigue. • Other Indirect Costs • E.g. higher insurance, production, & consumer costs • Higher incidence of work-related accidents • Non-Financial Burden Increased incidence of disability Diminished quality of life for affected.

SCREENING IDENTIFIES PATIENTS THAT WOULD NOT SEEK TREATMENT OTHERWISE. Reasons for Apnea Screening SDB is Largely Undiagnosed Over 28 million Americans suffer from OSA, yet 20 million go undiagnosed & untreated. Increased Health Risks SDB is associated with a range of comorbid conditions. Significant Financial & Disability Burden Untreated SDB places substantial burden on both individuals & society.

Problems with Common Screening Methods In-lab Polysomnography (PSG) Questionnaires • Subjective • Not specific • i.e. high # of false-positives - Leads to unnecessary testing & delayed Dx for those with severe apnea • Cannot indicate type/severity of SDB • Not Validated for Diabetic Population • Costly • Impractical for Screening • Population is too large • Can Take Days or Weeks to Receive Results • Higher refusal/drop-out rates Finkel, et. al..

Meta-analysis of OSA Questionnaires Screening Test Reliability & Summary Recommendations • Many of the most commonly used screening questionnaires have poor predictive values, esp. for mild to moderate cases. *DOR combines data on sensitivity and specificity to give an indication of a test’s ability to rule in or rule out a condition. **Summary recommendations developed for preoperative use.

The S.O.S. Approach • “S.O.S.” • Subjective Objective Screening • Research shows a combination approach can be the most feasible & effectivemethod • Subjective Screen • Use questionnaire (e.g. STOP-BANG; Berlin) to screen everyone • The population at risk is often large and will often include many patients with low risk. A much smaller subgroup with very high risk will require expedient intervention. • Objective Screen • Oximetry (e.g. SatScreen) devices are widely used because of affordability, high predictive value, & minimal patient impact. • Identifies the high risk subgroup.
