Özet
Introduction: Our aim was to investigate the characteristics of patients with preliminary diagnosis of sleep breathing disorder studied in Edirne province, to identify the risk factors and comorbid conditions, to determine the diagnostic distribution of our sleep patients by analyzing the results of polysomnogra-phy and PAP titration, and to understand their problems related to treatment compliance and device use.Materials and Methods: Our study retrospectively evaluated the results of 956 patients who had sleep-related complaints in our region and underwent full nocturnal polysomnography and PAP titration with a preliminary diagnosis of sleep breathing disorder.Results: A total of 956 patients were enrolled in the study, of whom 641 (67.1%) were males and 315 (32.9%) were females. Of our patients, 49.7% had severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), 18.2% had moderate OSA, 17.9% had mild OSA, 11.4% had REM-dependent OSA, and 8.4% had position -supine-dependent OSA. Hypertension was the most common comorbid condition in 44% of our patients, and diabetes mellitus in 25%. It was deter-mined that 228 (57.9%) of 394 patients who were recommended to use the PAP device received the device, and 71.5% of these patients could use the device in a compatible manner.Conclusion: Patients with appropriate symptoms can be diagnosed with a high probability of OSA in our region. The fact that a substantial group of patients diagnosed with OSA and recommended to use the PAP device did not receive the device or the proportion of those who could not use the device was high is one of the notable findings of the study.
