How Obstructive Sleep Apnea Affects Quality of Life After Minimally Invasive Gastric Bypass Surgery
AI simplified
Abstract
A total of 276 patients underwent laparoscopic Roux-and-Y gastric bypass, with 53.3% diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
- Quality of life (QoL) scores improved significantly from 51.2 to 89.7, 15 months post-surgery.
- All subscale scores related to QoL showed improvement after the surgery (p < 0.01).
- Patients with OSA had lower scores in the Public Distress and Work subscales compared to non-OSA patients.
- Public Distress scores were 90.4 for OSA patients versus 95.7 for non-OSA patients (p = 0.003).
- Work subscale scores were 92.9 for OSA patients compared to 96.1 for non-OSA patients (p = 0.031).
- Postoperative QoL scores were negatively correlated with the severity of OSA (p < 0.01).
