A common unrecognized factor that may exacerbate COPD is concomitant Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA is a common sleep disorder, affecting approximately 1 in 4 adults. Correlation between severity of the two remains largely unexplored, and is the aim of this study.Methods: In a retrospective chart analysis of diagnostic in-lab polysomnography (PSG), pulmonary function testing (PFT), and ICD coding, we determined patients with concomitant OSA and COPD. Patients were included had a diagnostic PSG and PFTs performed within the same calendar year. Demographics, health status, and health care system usage were also collected.

Associations were assessed using Pearson correlations, and statistical models were generated evaluating the association between severities of OSA and COPD, health system usage, and positive airway pressure compliance, adjusting for confounders. All analyses were performed using SAS software version 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Results: From December 2015 to November 	!

Out of those patients with PFT data available (n = 273), over one third had mild COPD (38%), with the remaining having moderate, moderately severe, severe, and very severe (16.5%, 16.1%, 13.9%, and 5.8%, respectively). Although they carried a diagnosis of COPD, 26 patients (9%) had an FEV1 > 100%, possibly representing a physiologic variant. OSA severity was severe in 115 (36.4%), mild in 111 (35.1%), and moderate in 90 (28.5%) patients.

This study reviews the resident caseload of an otolaryngology residency rural rotation in comparison with a traditional primary university-based urban location.Methods: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) case log system was used to review cases logged by residents during their rural rotations from July 2017 to December 2018. Case log data were compared with a matched resident of similar training experience on the university service during the same time period.Results: Rural residents reported more cases than their urban-based counterparts (1143 vs 690 cases). Junior residents had over double the number of cases in rural practice (400) compared to junior residents on the university service (168). The university service was much stronger on H&N Neck (54 vs. 28 cases), Larynx (39 vs 8) and Endoscopy (92 vs 42). In contrast, the rural rotation provided substantially more Endocrine cases (103 vs 47) and comparable salivary cases (23 vs 21) compared to the university service.Conclusion: This study describes a surgically robust rotation in rural medicine and highlights the possibility of obtaining exposure to a surgical practice unique to a rural setting. By participating in high volume surgical rural residency rotations, trainees may better understand the otolaryngologic needs of a rural population. Future work is needed to determine if rural rotations impact future practice decisions. https://doi.org/10.32873/unmc.dc.gmerj.2.1.023
