Patients with OSA were, on average 2.6 years older than those without OSA (P < .001) and had a higher comorbidity burden. The prevalence of OSA increased between 2008 and 2012 from 3.5% to 6.8%; P < .001. OSA was associated with a 3-fold increase in major complications (P < .001) and was confirmed as an independent risk factor for major complications based on multivariate analysis (odds ratio [OR] = 2.82; 95% CI = 2.59-2.79; P < .001). Rates of deep venous thrombosis were doubled in patients with OSA. OSA was determined to be an independent predictor of pulmonary complications (OR = 2.69; 95% CI = 2.59-2.79; P < .001). OSA did not increase the risk of postoperative mortality.Note
