摘要Objectives:Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)and atrial fibrilla-tion(AF)are well-recognized risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and often coexist.We investigated whether the pres-ence of incident OSA in individuals with AF would further increase their risk of ischemic heart disease(IHD),heart failure(HF),and stroke or transient ischemic attack(TIA).Methods:Three separate propensity-score matched cohorts were generated for IHD(n=5,140),HF(n=6,372),and stroke/TIA(n=6,372)using an AF pool with 277,684 eligible participants(2000-2018)derived from the IQ VIA Medical Research Data(IMRD),a large UK-based primary care dataset.Competing risk Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to com-pare the risk of developing IHD,HF,and stroke/TIA between individuals with and without OSA during the follow-up period.Results:All baseline characteristics between individuals with and without OSA were well balanced after matching.The median follow-up period was 3(interquartile range:1 to 5)years.Compared to individuals without OSA,individuals with OSA have higher risks of IHD(adjusted hazard ratios,1.94;95%CI,1.42 to 2.65)and HF(1.31;95%CI,1.07 to 1.62)and an unchanged risk of stroke/TIA(1.06;95%CI,0.80 to 1.41).Conclusion:OSA in individuals with AF was associated with additional increased risk of IHD and HF,not with stroke/TIA.Further studies on the effect of active screening and manage-ment of OSA to prevent cardiovascular disease in individuals with AF are warranted.Individuals with AF may also benefit from including OSA as a part of clinical decision framework for the management of cardiovascular disease.
