초록

연구배경: 저산소증을 동반한 COPD 환자에서 인지기능 장애를 보이는 것은 잘 알려져 있다. 그러나 저산소증이 없는 COPD 환자에서의 인지기능에 대해서는 논란의 여지가 있다. 또한, COPD 환자는 수면장애를 동반하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 저산소증이 없는 COPD 환자들의 인지기능을 평가하고, 인지기능 장애를 가진 COPD 환자들에서 수면장애가 얼마나 나타나는지 알아보았다.방 법: 90% 이상의 동맥혈 산소 포화도를 가진 28명의 COPD 환자를 대상으로 연구를 시행하였으며, 환자의 평균 나이는 70.7세였다. 대조군은 건강검진을 위해 내원한 33명의 건강성인을 대상으로 하였고, 대조군의 평균 나이는 69.5세였다. 모든 환자 및 대조군은 the Korean version of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease(CERAD- K)를 이용하여 신경인지기능을 평가하였다.결 과: COPD 환자군은 단어목록회상(p=0.03)과 단어목록재인(p=0.006) 항목에서 대조군과 비교하여 유의하게 낮은 점수를 보였다. 9명의 환자에서 유의미한 인지기능 장애를 가지고 있었으며, 이 중 7명의 환자에서 수면다원검사를 시행한 결과, 5명의 환자에서 시간당 5회 이상의 apnea-hypopnea index를 보였다. 7명의 환자에서 동맥혈 산소 포화도 감소 지수 및 평균 사지 운동 지수는 각각 3.6/시간과 38.6/시간이었다.

Abstract

Background: The cognitive function is impaired in patients with hypoxemic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, there are conflicting results regarding the cognitive function in patients with non-hypoxemic COPD. COPD patients also have sleep disorders. This study examined the cognitive function in non-hypoxemic COPD patients, and nocturnal sleep was assessed in COPD patients with a cognitive dysfunction. Methods: Twenty-eight COPD patients (mean age, 70.7 years) with an oxygen saturation > 90%, and 33 healthy control subjects (mean age, 69.5 years) who had visited for a routine check-up were selected. The neurocognitive tests were performed using the Korean version of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease (CERAD-K) Neuropsychological Battery. Results: The scores of the word list recall test (p=0.03) and the word list recognition test (p=0.006) in the COPD group were significantly lower than those in the control group. Nine patients showed a significantly impaired cognitive function. Seven of these underwent polysomnography, which revealed apnea-hypopnea indices ≥ five per hour in five patients. The median oxygen desaturation index and median limb movement index were 3.6/h and 38.6/h, respectively. Conclusion: These results suggest that the verbal memory function is impaired in non-hypoxemic COPD patients. Six out of seven COPD patients with an impaired cognitive function had sleep disorders of sleep apnea and/or periodic limb movements during sleep. (Tuberc Respir Dis 2007; 62: 382-388)
