RESUMO
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To examine the effect of changes in cardiorespiratory fitness on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity prior to and following adjustment for changes in weight over the course of a 4-y weight loss intervention. METHODS: As secondary analyses of a randomized controlled trial, 263 overweight/obese adults with type 2 diabetes and OSA participated in an intensive lifestyle intervention or education control condition. Measures of OSA severity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and body weight were obtained at baseline, year 1, and year 4. Change in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) served as the primary outcome. The percentage change in fitness (submaximal metabolic equivalents [METs]) and change in weight (kg) were the primary independent variables. Primary analyses collapsed intervention conditions with statistical adjustment for treatment group and baseline METs, weight, and AHI among other relevant covariates. RESULTS: At baseline, greater METs were associated with lower AHI (B [SE] = -1.48 [0.71], P = 0.038), but this relationship no longer existed (B [SE] = -0.24 [0.73], P = 0.75) after adjustment for weight (B [SE] = 0.31 [0.07], P < 0.0001). Fitness significantly increased at year 1 (+16.53 ± 28.71% relative to baseline), but returned to near-baseline levels by year 4 (+1.81 ± 24.48%). In mixed-model analyses of AHI change over time without consideration of weight change, increased fitness at year 1 (B [SE] = -0.15 [0.04], P < 0.0001), but not at year 4 (B [SE] = 0.04 [0.05], P = 0.48), was associated with AHI reduction. However, with weight change in the model, greater weight loss was associated with AHI reduction at years 1 and 4 (B [SE] = 0.81 [0.16] and 0.60 [0.16], both P < 0.0001), rendering the association between fitness and AHI change at year 1 nonsignificant (B [SE] = -0.04 [0.04], P = 0.31). CONCLUSIONS: Among overweight/obese adults with type 2 diabetes, fitness change did not influence OSA severity change when weight change was taken into account.

In a study of acute sleep deprivation in healthy male volunteers randomized to double-blind treatment with lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (20, 50, or 70 mg), placebo control, or an active control (armodafinil 250 mg), Maintenance of Wakefulness Test data were compared using a generalized estimating equation analysis to eliminate the need for unequivocal sleep latency imputation. Compared with placebo across all Maintenance of Wakefulness Tests, all active treatments were associated with lower risk of falling asleep (risk ratio [95% confidence interval]): 0.45 (0.27-0.76; P = 0.0026), 0.10 (0.05-0.20; P < 0.0001), and 0.05 (0.02-0.14; P < 0.0001) for 20, 50, and 70 mg lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, respectively, and 0.11 (0.06-0.21; P < 0.0001) for the active control. Sleep-risk ratios were similar for lisdexamfetamine dimesylate 50 or 70 mg and for the active control, but lisdexamfetamine 20 mg was associated with a greater risk of falling asleep compared with the active control (4.13 [1.97-8.67]; P = 0.0002). Generalized estimating equation analysis detected wake-promoting effects of active treatments and eliminating data imputation, suggesting model utility in future studies.
