Abstract

Background

An association between chronic cough and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been reported in prior studies with resolution or improvement in cough after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. Controlled studies of the benefit of CPAP on cough-quality of life measures have not been conducted.

Research Question

Does CPAP therapy for OSA improve cough in patients with chronic unexplained cough?

Study Design and Methods

Patients with unexplained chronic cough (> 2 months duration of cough) and OSA were randomized to receive either CPAP or sham CPAP therapy for 6 weeks. The primary end point was the change in health status assessed with the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) in patients treated with CPAP vs. sham CPAP. Secondary end points were changes in exhaled breath condensate markers of airway inflammation (interleukin-6, nitrite/nitrates, hydrogen peroxide and 8-isoprostanes).

Results

A total of 22 patients with chronic unexplained cough and OSA were randomized of whom18 completed 6 weeks of treatments with either CPAP or sham CPAP. The CPAP vs. sham CPAP-treated group were comparable in terms of sex distribution, body mass index, and OSA severity. Following CPAP therapy, there was a significantly greater improvement in total LCQ scores as compared to those treated with sham therapy (ANCOVA p value 0.016). No significant differences were noted in the exhaled breath condensate marker changes between CPAP-treated vs. sham CPAP-treated groups.

Conclusion

Treatment of comorbid OSA in patients with chronic cough improved cough quality of life measures following treatment of OSA with CPAP in this pilot study. Larger studies to understand this association and unravel mechanisms of CPAP benefit in chronic cough need to be undertaken.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
