Effects of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Obesity on Thirty-Day Readmissions in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Cross-Sectional Mediation Analysis.
Jessica E ChannickNicholas J JacksonMichelle R ZeidlerRussell G BuhrPublished in: Annals of the American Thoracic Society (2021)
A significant proportion of COPD patients suffer comorbid OSA and obesity with resultant readmission risk. Interestingly, obesity's protective effect attenuates readmission odds from OSA. Taken together, OSA and aggregate comorbidity influence readmissions in COPD patients. Testing for and treating OSA-COPD overlap may provide a mechanism to reduce avoidable readmissions.
