Prevalence and associated factors of obstructive sleep apnea in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Obstructive sleep apnea is frequently observed in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery and the severity tends to be severe. Snoring, STOP-Bang score ≥ 3, fatty liver, and BMI were significantly correlated with OSA. Dyslipidemia and BMI were demonstrated to be associated factors for severity of OSA in this population.
