AbstractObjectives: The relationship between REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains unclear. We aimed to (1) explore the association of REM-related EMG activity (REMREEA) with OSA in RBD patients; (2) compare the severity of OSA between RBD patients with OSA (RBD-OSA) and their age-, sex-, AHI-, and BMI- matched OSA controls. Design: a. Correlation study in consecutive RBD subjects and b. case-control study Setting: Sleep laboratory Participants: 71 RBD patients in the correlation study and 55 subjects (28 RBD-OSA cases and 27 OSA controls) in the case-control study. Intervention: N/A Methods: Polysomnographic assessment to document the sleep architecture, sleep apnea related parameters, and REMREEA. Results: (1) In the correlation study, increased REMREEA was associated with lower severity of OSA in RBD patients, including total AHI (r = -0.263), NREM AHI (r = -0.242), obstructive AHI (r = -0.265), and mean apnea duration (r = -0.353) (P < 0.05). (2) In the case-control study, RBD-OSA patients had lesser severity of sleep apnea parameters than OSA controls in terms of higher nadir SpO2 (85.7% ± 4.9% vs 80.8% ± 5.9%, P < 0.01), shorter maximum hypopnea duration (53.8 ± 16.7 vs 69.4 ± 22.4 seconds, P < 0.05), and maximum (45.8 ± 20.5 vs 60.8 ± 19.6 sec, P < 0.01) and mean apnea duration (22.3 ± 8.1 vs 26.3 ± 5.8 sec, P < 0.05). Significant interaction effects indicated that the usual REM sleep exacerbation of sleep apneas was seen only in OSA controls but not in RBD subjects. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that excessive EMG activity in RBD might protect patients against severe OSA and suggests this may be a naturalistic model for understanding neuromuscular control of OSA.
