摘要: 目的 系统评估持续正压通气(continuous positive airway pressure, CPAP)治疗对中-重度阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome, OSAHS)患者嗅觉及认知功能的纵向改善作用。 方法 纳入90例中-重度OSAHS患者,接受为期6个月的标准化CPAP治疗。分别在基线、治疗3个月和6个月时,采用Sniffin' Sticks嗅觉测试评估嗅觉阈值、辨别力、识别力及总分(threshold-discrimination-identification, TDI),采用蒙特利尔认知评估量表(Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MoCA)评估认知功能。采用Pearson相关分析评估基线睡眠呼吸暂停低通气指数(apnea-hypopnea index, AHI)与嗅觉、认知功能改善程度(Δ)的相关性,以及嗅觉功能改善与认知功能改善的相关性。 结果 疗后,患者嗅觉总分从(19.81±2.88)分提高至(26.49±2.56)分(P<0.05),MoCA总分从(19.52±2.48)分提高至(22.58±1.87)分(P<0.05)。嗅觉各维度呈现差异化恢复轨迹:阈值和识别力在治疗3个月时即改善(P<0.05),辨别力至治疗6个月时方显改善(P<0.05);认知功能中视空间与执行功能注意力记忆力在治疗3个月时改善(P<0.05)。嗅觉阈值改善与基线AHI呈正相关(r=0.41, P<0.05),嗅觉总分改善与认知总分改善亦呈正相关(r=0.46, P<0.05)。亚组分析显示,非肥胖年龄50岁及女性患者的嗅觉改善更为明显(P<0.05)。 结论 CPAP治疗可有效改善中-重度OSAHS患者的嗅觉与认知功能,功能恢复呈现时程差异与人群异质性,嗅觉与认知改善存在正相关关系。

Abstract: Objective To longitudinally evaluate the effects of continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP)on olfactory and cognitive functions in patients with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS). Methods Ninety patients with moderate-to-severe OSAHS received standardized CPAP therapy for 6 months. Olfactory function, including threshold, discrimination, identification, and the total threshold-discrimination-identification(TDI)score, was assessed using the Sniffin' Sticks test at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Cognitive function was evaluated with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)at the same time points. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationships between baseline apnea-hypopnea index(AHI)and improvements(Δ)in olfactory and cognitive functions, as well as the correlation between olfactory and cognitive improvements. Results After treatment, the total olfactory score increased from 19.81±2.88 to 26.49±2.56(P<0.05), and the total MoCA score increased from 19.52±2.48 to 22.58±1.87(P<0.05). Olfactory subdomains showed differential recovery trajectories: threshold and identification improved significantly at 3 months(P<0.05), while discrimination improved only at 6 months(P<0.05). Among cognitive subdomains, visuospatial/executive function, attention, and memory showed significant improvement at 3 months(P<0.05). Improvement in olfactory threshold was positively correlated with baseline AHI(r=0.41, P<0.05), and improvement in total olfactory score was positively correlated with improvement in total cognitive score(r=0.46, P<0.05). Subgroup analysis revealed that non-obese patients, those aged ≤50 years, and females exhibited greater olfactory improvement(P<0.05). Conclusion CPAP therapy effectively improves olfactory and cognitive functions in patients with moderate to severe OSAHS, with functional recovery demonstrating temporal differences and population heterogeneity. Olfactory improvement is positively correlated with cognitive improvement.
