Rationale: Risk factors typically associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are not always present in people with epilepsy (PWE). Our intention is to analyze differences in risk factors for OSA among PWE and people only with OSA. Methods: Cross-sectional study, performed in adults (>18 y.o) diagnosed with OSA from 01/01/2014 to 01/05/2017.Two study groups were formed: Group 1: PWE and group 2: non-epileptics.In both groups•Clinical data: demographics (age, gender, and body mass index [BMI]), epilepsy characteristics (epilepsy classification, seizure frequency, and type and dosage of antiepileptic drug [AED] therapy) and sleep complaints. •PSG data: apnea-hypopnea index, CT90, IDO, For statistical analysis, logistic regression models controlled by potential confounding variables were used Results: 66 patients:• 50 (75.6%) non-epileptic and 16 (24.24%) PWE. (3:1) • Male 42(63,63%) Female 24 (36,36%) • Type of epilepsy: • • Relative frequencies in obesity (13,6% Vs 86,3 %), hypertension(18.7 %Vs 26%), diabetes (0% Vs 4%), dislipemia (18,7% Vs 22%), polyglobulia (6,25%Vs1 4%) and depression (6,25%Vs 12%) are lower in people with SAS only, there are no statistically significant differences between both groups<.br />
