Racial/ethnic disparities in sleep‐disordered breathing during pregnancy in the nuMoM2b study
Authors' conclusion
This study extends knowledge on racial/ethnic disparities in SDB to a pregnant population.
Study context
- Population
- Pregnant people at 6 to 15 and 22 to 31 weeks gestational age
- Participants
- 3,702 people
- Comparison
- Racial/ethnic groups vs non-Hispanic White (nHW)
- Primary endpoint
- Prevalence and severity of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) across racial/ethnic groups
- Follow-up
- 6 to 15 and 22 to 31 weeks gestational age
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Each group vs nHWOdds ratio (95% CI)
nHBSDB prevalence at 6 to 15 weeks
1.81(1.07–2.97)
AsianSDB prevalence at 21 to 32 weeks
2.2(1.1–4.0)
nHBHigher AHI in early pregnancy
1.35(1.07–1.69)
Further findings
Overweight/obesity and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)
- Overweight/obesity associated with higher AHI, β
- 2.36 (95% CI 1.97, 2.84)
Controlled direct effect of BMI on AHI · early pregnancy
- Non-Hispanic Black (nHB) and Hispanic would have lower AHI vs nHW had they had normal weight
