Resumen

El síndrome de apnea obstructiva del sueño (SAOS) es una condición respiratoria crónica asociada a consecuencias cardiovasculares, metabólicas y neurocognitivas. Tras la pandemia de COVID-19, diversos reportes han documentado un aumento de alteraciones del sueño en personas con Long COVID, incluyendo manifestaciones compatibles con SAOS. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar diferencias en la expresión sintomática del SAOS entre hombres y mujeres adultos con diagnóstico de Long COVID, mediante el cuestionario STOP-BANG.

MÉTODOS: Diseño observacional, transversal y descriptivo, con una muestra de 104 pacientes atendidos en el Centro Asistencial Docente e Investigación de la Universidad de Magallanes (CADI-UMAG).

RESULTADOS: Se observó una mayor frecuencia de síntomas respiratorios en hombres y una presentación clínica menos evidente en mujeres.

CONCLUSIÓN: Estas diferencias refuerzan la necesidad de estrategias diagnósticas adaptadas al perfil sintomatológico destacando la utilidad del cuestionario STOP-BANG para detectar riesgo de SAOS en pacientes post-COVID-19.
