Abstract Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in non obstetrical and obstetrical patients Objectives: To estimate the incidence of OSA and its relationship with pregnancy-related complications in a general obstetric population Study design: A cross sectional study of 176 women who subjected to stop and stop bang questionnaire at a Assiut university facility. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes (, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, poor fetal growth, and stillbirth) between pregnant women with and without a SDB All patients were investigated as regards their patient characteristics, clinical data, maternal, neonatal outcome, STOP, STOP-Bang questionnaires and high risk group by stop questionnaire were subjected to polysomnography parameters. According the results of STOP and STOP-Bang questionnaires.Symptoms of sleep disturbances are common among pregnant women and generally worsen across gestation. Pregnancy-related sleep disorders are not only associated with a poor quality of life of the affected mothers, but also with adverse perinatal outcomes, including gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia, The current knowledge about the impact of sleep disorders during pregnancy largely derives from the results of sleep surveys conducted in various populationsSleep quality, or sleep-related breathing disorders can be considered strongly related to the medical complication like preeclampsia and gestational hypertension. Advanced age, increased gestational age and multiparty are found to be determinants of poor sleep quality in pregnant women These finding should encourage a routine assessment of sleep problems among pregnant females where prenatal sleep disorders may eliminate undesirable pregnancy outcomes. Physicians should evaluate sleep habits of their pregnant patients explaining the role of quality sleep on pregnancy. |
