Postoperative Outcomes of Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

ConclusionsOSA patients had a higher mean length-of-stay, were more likely to have a prolonged length-of-stay, more likely to discharge to location other than home, and had a higher 30-day readmission rate. This suggests higher resource utilization is required to care for OSA patients following cardiac surgery.
