| Abstract: | We aimed to evaluate the presence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) patients and its impacts after 12-week of escitalopram treatment. In this prospective observational study, GAD patients were followed up to determine whether comorbid SDB affects their treatment response. They underwent a home sleep apnea test (HSAT), and oxygen desaturation index ≥5 was considered indicative of SDB. All participants were treated with escitalopram 5 mg in the first 2 weeks and 10 mg in the remaining 10 weeks. They underwent assessments of heart rate variability and completed questionnaires for sleep, mood, attention, and daytime sleepiness on the day of enrollment, and 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks later. A total of 45 GAD participants (mean age, 56.2 years) were included in the study. Of these, 53.3% had comorbid SDB. Participants with GAD and SDB had higher baseline Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and STOP-BANG scores. Both groups of participants with GAD showed overall improvement in anxiety, depression, and insomnia symptoms after 12 weeks of escitalopram treatment. Additionally, there were no statistically significant differences in the changes in BAI, Beck Depression Inventory, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores between the two groups at the Week 2, Week 4, and Week 12 assessments compared to baseline. However, the GAD group with comorbid SDB seemed to have a lower tendency for improvement in depressive symptoms than the group with non-comorbid SDB. Compared with the GAD group without comorbid SDB, the GAD group with comorbid SDB exhibited more severe anxiety symptoms at baseline and tended to show less improvement in depressive symptoms after 12 weeks of escitalopram treatment. |
