OSA risk was determined by the multivariable apnoea prediction (MAP) index.RESULTS: 713 individuals were analysed, of whom 78 (10.9%) showed CAO and 215 (30%) had MAP > 0.5.

However, ADMA was significantly associated with decreasing FEV1 percent predicted among those with CAO (p = 0.002).

The highest values for ADMA and SDMA were observed in individuals with overlap of CAO and MAP > 0.5, which was accompanied by lower L-citrulline levels.CONCLUSIONS: The plasma concentrations of ADMA and SDMA are elevated in COPD patients with concomitant intermittent hypoxaemia.
