ObjectiveTo explore the level of fibrinogen (Fbg) and D-dimer in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients before and after nasal continuous positive airway pressure (n-CPAP) treatment for one month,and to discuss their clinical significance.Methods157 OSAHS patients enrolled and treated in our hospital from 2010 to 2012 were recruited,of which 85 (42 moderate cases with 15<AHI<30, 43 severe cases with AHI≥30) were selected as the experiment group,while the other 72 (38 moderate cases with 15<AHI<30,43 severe cases with AHI≥30) as the control group.The experiment group was exposed to one month of n-CPAP treatment,while no any therapy was applied to the control group.The level of Fbg and D-dimer before and after one month in both groups were measured and compared.ResultsThere was significant decrease of both Fbg and D-dimer level in experiment group after n-CPAP treatment(P<0.05),while no obvious change of Fbg or D-dimer was observed in control group (P>0.05).Conclusionn-CPAP could reduce the expression of both Fbg and D-dimer,thus maybe possess the potential of reducing cardiovascular complications and improving quality of life in OSAHS patients.
