The incidence of undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) within an Australian bariatric population
Background: It is established that a strong correlation exists between morbid obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA has been shown to be associated with increased incidence of stroke, hypertension and coronary artery disease. Current evidence suggests that a large number of patients with OSA deny experiencing symptoms. Despite these findings, there is a lack of data regarding the incidence of undiagnosed OSA in patients with obesity.
