    Abstract Purpose Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common and often undiagnosed condition in patients undergoing major surgeries, including cardiac surgery. This disorder is associated with peri- and postoperative problems. This study measured the association between OSA and peri- and postoperative complications in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. Methods Candidates for elective cardiac surgery were evaluated for OSA by the STOP-Bang questionnaire before the surgery. We evaluated patients before and after the operation regarding the cardiac, respiratory, and neurologic complications. We divided the participants into high-risk (score of 5-8), intermediate-risk (score of 3-4), and low-risk groups (score of 0-2) based on the STOP-Bang questionnaire. Results Of the 306 patients who underwent cardiac surgery, 173 (56.5%) were in the high-risk group, 100 (32.7%) were in the intermediate-risk group, and 33 (10.8%) were in the low-risk group for OSA. Patients in the high-risk group were significantly older than the other two groups (p value=0.013), had higher BMI (p<0.001), and suffered more from relevant comorbid conditions, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia (all p-values significant at < 0.05). However, not significant, patients in the high-risk group suffered more from postoperative complications including cardiac, respiratory, and neurological complications. Conclusion OSA is common in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Our findings indicate that these patients manifest a higher incidence of postoperative complications compared to those with a lower risk of OSA. Because of the limited use of polysomnography, a simple STOP-Bang questionnaire is beneficial to screen patients for the risk of OSA peri-operatively, and patients diagnosed with OSA can get extra care during and after the surgery.

    Abstract In this narrative review, we present a comprehensive assessment on the putative roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in intermittent hypoxia (IH) and sleep apnea. Collectively, the evidence from cell culture, animal, and clinical research studies points to the functional involvement of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and potential treatment strategies for this highly prevalent disorder. Further research is clearly warranted to uncover the mechanistic pathways and to exploit the therapeutic potential of lncRNAs, thereby improving the management and outcomes of patients suffering from sleep apnea.

    Abstract Background: While the longer-term Obstructive Sleep apnea (OSA)-related intermittent hypoxia (IH) leads to various comorbidities, it has become increasingly evident that OSA confers protective advantages during and after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We hypothesized in patients who were admitted with acute MI, the presence of OSA is associated with lower in-hospital mortality compared to those without a prior diagnosis of OSA.
    Methods: In this nationwide retrospective study utilizing Veterans Health Administration records, we included patients hospitalized for MI with a history of sleep disorders from 1999 to 2020. We divided patients into two cohorts: those with OSA and those without OSA. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality during AMI hospitalization. We analyzed the data using logistic regression and calculated the odds ratio of in-hospital mortality.
    Results: Out of more than four million veterans with any sleep diagnosis, 76,359 patients were hospitalized with a diagnosis of AMI. We observed 30,116 with OSA (age, 64 ± 10 years; BMI, 33 ± 7 kg/m
    Conclusions: Presence of OSA is associated with lower in-hospital mortality among patients admitted for AMI, after adjusting for various demographic and co-morbidity factors. This study highlights the complex relationship between OSA and cardiovascular health and highlights the need for further research in this area.

    Abstract Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the interaction between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea on acute MI in hospital mortality.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilized Veterans Health Administration data from years 1999-2020. Participants were categorized according to their body mass index (BMI) to non-obese (BMI <30) and obese (BMI ≥30) groups. Clinical obstructive sleep apnea (SA) diagnosis was confirmed using ICD9/10 codes and the study subgroups included non-obese with no obstructive sleep apnea (nOB-nSA), non-Obese with obstructive sleep apnea (nOB-SA), obese with no obstructive sleep apnea (OB-nSA), and obese with obstructive sleep apnea (OB-SA). The primary outcome was odds ratio of in-hospital mortality during the hospitalization with acute MI as the principal diagnosis adjusted for age, gender, race, ethnicity, and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) with the nOB-nSA group as the comparison group.
    Results: Among 72,036 veterans with acute-MI hospitalization, individuals with obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OB-SA) had the lowest in-hospital mortality rate (1.0%) compared to those without obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (nOB-nSA, 2.8%), with obesity but without obstructive sleep apnea (OB-nSA, 2.4%), and with obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (nOB-SA, 1.4%). The adjusted odds ratio for mortality, compared to nOB-nSA, was 9% higher but not significant in OB-nSA (aOR, 1.09, 95%CI: 0.95, 1.25), 46% lower in OB-nSA (aOR, 0.54, 95%CI: 0.45, 0.66), and 52% lower in OB-SA (aOR, 0.48: 95%CI: 0.41, 0.57).
    Conclusion: Our data suggest that the association between obesity and improved survival in acute MI is largely driven by the presence of sleep apnea.
