Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1A New Perspective on Osas Cases With the Baveno Classification(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Koseoglu, Handan Inonu; Aykun, Goekhan; Kanbay, Asiye; Pazarli, Ahmet Cemal; Yakar, Halil Ibrahim; Demir, Osman; Inonu Koseoglu, HandanObjective/Background: Since the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), which is used in the diagnosis and grading of OSAS, does not adequately reflect the clinical perspective of the disease, the Baveno classification of OSA was developed, which allows multicomponent evaluation of OSAS patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate the application of the Baveno classification in clinical practice. Patients/Methods: A prospective study was performed on patients diagnosed with OSAS between January 2021 and June 2022. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to Baveno classification (Groups A-D) and three groups as mild, moderate, and severe OSAS according to AHI. Results: A total of 378 patients (70% male, mean age 48.68 +/- 11.81 years) were included in the study. The patients had mild (n: 75; 20%), moderate (n: 88; 23%), and severe (n: 215; 57%) OSAS. According to Baveno classification, patients were included in Groups A (n: 90; 24%), B (n: 105 (28%), C (n: 65; 17%), and D (n: 118; 31%). The mean AHIs of the Baveno groups were similar (p = 0.116). Oxygen desaturation index (ODI) was higher in Groups B and D compared to Group A. The duration of T90 desaturation was longer in Groups C and D compared to Groups A and B (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The Baveno classification divided our OSAS cases into equivalent groups. One out of every four patients with mild OSAS was in Group D. This data was noteworthy in that the Baveno classification allows for the identification of symptomatic and comorbid patients with mild OSAS according to AHI and for the application of more effective treatments to these patients. Patients with comorbidities experienced oxygen desaturation for a longer period of time at night, and oxygenation deteriorated in patients with prominent symptoms. Baveno classification was found to be a more reasonable and easily applicable approach in clinical practice.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 11The Psychometric Properties of the Figure-Of Walk Test in People With Parkinson's Disease(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Soke, Fatih; Erkoc Ataoglu, Nigar Esra; Ozcan Gulsen, Elvan; Yilmaz, Oznur; Gulsen, Cagri; Kocer, Bilge; Tokcaer, Ayse BoraPurpose To investigate: (1) the interrater, and test-retest reliability of the figure-of-eight walk test (F8WT) in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD); (2) the minimum detectable change in the F8WT times; (3) the concurrent and known-groups validity of the F8WT times; and (4) the cut-off times that best discriminate PwPD from healthy people and fallers from non-fallers with PD. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. Forty-three PwPD and 34 healthy people were recruited. The F8WT was performed along with the timed up and go test, 10 m walk test, Berg Balance Scale, Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale, Unified Parkinson's disease Rating Scale, and Hoehn and Yahr Scale. Results The F8WT showed good interrater and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.964-0.978 and ICC = 0.905-0.920, respectively). The MDC was 2.77 s. The F8WT was correlated with other outcome measures. Significant differences in the F8WT times were found between PwPD and healthy people and between fallers and non-fallers with PD (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). The cut-off times of 8.43 s best discriminated PwPD from healthy people, while 11.19 s best discriminated fallers from non-fallers with PD. Conclusions The F8WT is a reliable, valid, and easy-to-administer tool in assessing the walking skill of PwPD.
