METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF ESSENTIAL ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION IN ADOLESCENTS WITH SLEEP DISTURBANCE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61B5/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to pediatrics, cardiology, somnology (sleep medicine), and can be used for prediction of essential arterial hypertension formation in adolescents with sleep disturbance. The following risk factors of essential arterial hypertension formation in sleep disturbances are evaluated in adolescents: a apnoea/hypopnea index - X1; sleep latency - X2; rapid eye movement sleep representation- X3; snore - X4; daytime sleepiness level - X5. Numerical values are assigned to the risk factors: X1-X5. The prognostic coefficients F₁ and F₂ are calculated by formulae: F₁=- 27.75+31.18*X1-7.99*X2-7.59*X3+10.85*X4-4.06*X5; F₂=-20.1-26.5*X1+6.79*X2+6.46*X3-9.23*X4+3.45*X5, where: X1 - the apnoea/hypopnea index, events/hour; X2 - sleep latency, minute; X3 - rapid eye movement sleep representation, %; X4 - snore: presence of snore - 1 point, absence of snore - 0 points; X5 - daytime sleepiness level, points. If observing F₂> F₁, a good prognosis is done; probability of essential arterial hypertension formation in adolescents with sleep disturbances is low. If observing F₁>F₂, a poor prognosis is done; probability of essential arterial hypertension formation in adolescents with sleep disturbances is high.

EFFECT: method enables predicting essential arterial hypertension formation in adolescents with sleep disturbances that allows carrying out medical and preventive actions to avoid development of said pathology at early stages.
