Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Impaired respiratory mechanics and gas exchange may contribute to sleep disturbance in patients with COPD. We aimed to assess putative associations of different domains of lung function (airflow limitation, lung volumes, and gas exchange efficiency) with polysomnography (PSG)-derived parameters of sleep quality and architecture in COPD. METHODS: We retrospectively assessed data from COPD 181 patients ≥ 40 years of age who underwent spirometry, plethysmography, and overnight PSG. Univariate and multivariate linear regression models predicted sleep efficiency (total sleep time/total recording time) and other PSG-derived parameters that reflect sleep quality. RESULTS: The severity of COPD was widely distributed in the sample (post-bronchodilator FEV1 ranging from 25% to 128% of predicted): mild COPD (40.3%), moderate COPD (43.1%), and severe-very severe COPD (16.6%). PSG unveiled a high proportion of obstructive sleep apnea (64.1%) and significant nocturnal desaturation (mean pulse oximetry nadir = 82.2% ± 6.9%). After controlling for age, sex, BMI, apnea-hypopnea index, nocturnal desaturation, comorbidities, and psychotropic drug prescription, FEV1/FVC was associated with sleep efficiency (β = 25.366; R2 = 14%; p < 0.001), whereas DLCO predicted sleep onset latency (β = -0.314; R2 = 13%; p < 0.001) and rapid eye movement sleep time/total sleep time in % (β = 0.085; R2 = 15%; p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Pulmonary function variables reflecting severity of airflow and gas exchange impairment, adjusted for some potential confounders, were weakly related to PSG outcomes in COPD patients. The direct contribution of the pathophysiological hallmarks of COPD to objectively measured parameters of sleep quality seems to be less important than it was previously assumed.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
