2023 World Conference on Lung Cancer (Posters)-EP01.01. Poor Sleep Quality in Lung Cancer Patients

Pdf Summary

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and correlation between sleep disordered breathing, specifically obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and lung cancer in Indonesian patients. The researchers used three standardized questionnaires (Berlin, ESS, and STOP-BANG) to assess the risk of OSA among 151 lung cancer patients. The results showed that the ESS questionnaire was the most effective in identifying high-risk individuals for OSA, followed by the STOP-BANG questionnaire and the Berlin questionnaire. Males were found to have a higher risk of OSA based on all three questionnaires. Most patients had a normal body mass index (BMI), and age and physical characteristics also played a significant role in OSA risk among lung cancer patients. <br /><br />The study concluded that undiagnosed OSA can worsen cancer prognosis, and early detection of OSA risk using standardized tools like the ESS, Berlin, and STOP-BANG questionnaires is feasible in lung cancer patients. The researchers emphasized the importance of variables such as sex, age, and BMI in determining individuals' susceptibility to OSA. These findings suggest that healthcare professionals should consider screening for OSA in lung cancer patients to optimize their treatment outcomes.
