Association of Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with COVID-19 infection. Fewer investigations have assessed OSA as a possible risk for the development of Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).

Research question

In a general population, is OSA associated with increased odds of PASC-related symptoms and with an overall definition of PASC?

Study design

Cross-sectional survey of a general population of 24,803 U.S. adults.

Results

COVID-19 infection occurred in 10,324 (41.6%) participants. Prevalence rates for a wide variety of persistent (> 3 months post infection) putative PASC-related physical and mental health symptoms ranged from 6.5% (peripheral edema) to 19.6% (nervous/anxious). In logistic regression models adjusted for demographic, anthr
