阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停低通氣綜合征對(duì)患者耳蝸功能影響的研究

阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停低通氣綜合征對(duì)患者耳蝸功能影響的研究摘要：目的：研究阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停低通氣綜合征（OSAS）對(duì)患者耳蝸功能的影響。

方法：選取50例OSAS患者和50例正常人作為對(duì)照組，用純音聽閾測(cè)定、耳聲誘發(fā)電位和聲音誘發(fā)視覺電位分別檢測(cè)兩組患者的耳蝸功能。同時(shí)，采用多因素方差分析和線性回歸分析比較OSAS患者和對(duì)照組的耳蝸功能特點(diǎn)及其影響因素。

結(jié)果：OSAS患者的純音聽閾顯著高于對(duì)照組（P＜0.05），耳聲誘發(fā)電位和聲音誘發(fā)視覺電位幅值分別低于對(duì)照組（P＜0.01），且OSAS患者的BMI、腰圍、血糖、血壓與耳蝸功能之間存在顯著的負(fù)相關(guān)關(guān)系。線性回歸模型顯示，OSAS的嚴(yán)重程度和持續(xù)時(shí)間是影響OSAS患者耳蝸功能的主要因素。

結(jié)論：OSAS會(huì)對(duì)患者的耳蝸功能產(chǎn)生影響，比較嚴(yán)重的OSAS患者的耳蝸功能受損更為明顯，嚴(yán)重程度和持續(xù)時(shí)間是影響耳蝸功能的主要因素。

關(guān)鍵詞：阻塞性睡眠呼吸暫停低通氣綜合征，耳蝸功能，純音聽閾，耳聲誘發(fā)電位，聲音誘發(fā)視覺電位。

Abstract:Objective:Toinvestigatetheinfluenceofobstructivesleepapneasyndrome(OSAS)oncochlearfunctioninpatients.

Methods:50OSASpatientsand50normalcontrolswereselectedascontrolgrouptodetectcochlearfunctionbypuretonethresholddetermination,auditorybrainstemresponseandsound-inducedvisualevokedpotential.Meanwhile,thecochlearfunctioncharacteristicsandinfluencingfactorsofOSASpatientsandcontrolgroupwerecomparedusingmulti-factorvarianceanalysisandlinearregressionanalysis.

Results:ThepuretonethresholdofOSASpatientswassignificantlyhigherthanthatofthecontrolgroup(P＜0.05),andtheamplitudeofauditorybrainstemresponseandsound-inducedvisualevokedpotentialwaslowerthanthatofthecontrolgroup(P＜0.01).TherewasanegativecorrelationbetweenBMI,waistcircumference,bloodglucose,bloodpressureandcochlearfunctionofOSASpatients.ThelinearregressionmodelshowedthattheseverityanddurationofOSASwerethemainfactorsaffectingcochlearfunctioninOSASpatients.

Conclusion:OSAScanaffectthecochlearfunctionofpatients,andthecochlearfunctionofOSASpatientswithmoreseveresymptomsismoreseverelyaffected.TheseverityanddurationofOSASarethemainfactorsaffectingcochlearfunction.
