Long-term use of PIs may cause lipodystrophy, a clinical syndrome characterized by peripheral lipoatrophy and central fat accumulation, which may increase the risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in HIV-infected patients. We hypothesize that a longer duration of PIs\u2019 use might be associated with increasing severity of OSA in HIV-infected patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a retrospective cohort study of HIV-infected patients who were treated with PIs, who presented with symptoms suggestive of OSA, and underwent nocturnal polysomnography. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the association between the duration of PIs\u2019 use and the severity of OSA. The duration of PIs\u2019 use measured in months was recorded for each patient. The primary outcome of interest was the apnea\u2013hypopnea index (AHI) obtained at the time of the sleep study. Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate linear regression between AHIs with PIs\u2019 use as well as other predictors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 54 patients diagnosed with HIV and OSA were included in the study cohort for the analysis.

The association between AHI and PIs\u2019 use duration was found to be nonlinear and nonsignificant.
