Background: Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder involving, intermittent mechanical obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. Obesity is the most powerful risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the long-term effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass bariatric surgery on patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Methods: This study included patients were referred for bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) to control symptoms and complications of obesity during a 5-year period. An overnight sleep study was performed for each patient before and after the bariatric surgery, to study its effect on different obstructive sleep apnea-related variables. Results: This study included 179 patients (mean age 35.9 ± 10.7 years). The mean duration from preoperative assessment to postoperative assessment was 2.4 ± 2.2 years. The mean change in body mass index and weight showed a decrease of 16.0 ± 16.0 kg/m2 and48.7 ± 25.9 kg, respectively. The apnea hypopnea index decreased by a mean of 22.6 ± 26.3 events/hour. Conclusion: We concluded that a decrease in the body mass index by 1 kg/m2 could predict a decrease in the apnea hypopnea index by 0.46 events/hour. Moreover, after mean follow-up duration of 2.4 years, 84.3% of mild and 83.3% of moderate obstructive sleep apnea patients became normal postoperatively.

Purpose: This work reports the association of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cotton-wool spots (CWS) seen in patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: A random sample of patients diagnosed with DR between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2018, were selected from medical-billing codes. Dilated funduscopic examination findings and medical history were analyzed by reviewing medical records. Results: CWS were present in 12 of 118 patients without OSA, compared with 11 of 32 patients with OSA (10.2% vs 34.4%, respectively; P = .002). OSA was more common in men (68.8%, P = .03) and associated with a higher body mass index (30.0 ± 5.0 without OSA vs 33.6 ± 5.5 with OSA, P < .001). When comparing those with and without OSA, there was no association with age; glycated hemoglobin A1c; stage of DR; insulin dependence; presence of diabetic macular edema; smoking status; or a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, or other breathing disorder. Conclusions: The presence of OSA is associated with CWS in patients with DR, as well as male sex and a higher body mass index. Further research is needed to determine the ophthalmologist’s role in the timely referral of patients with CWS for OSA evaluation.
