Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent condition among electable to bariatric surgery obese patients, often remaining underdiagnosed, thereby increasing surgical risk. The main purpose was to determine prevalence of OSA among candidates for bariatric surgery and to assess the rate of underdiagnosis of this condition. Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate the specific performance of three sleep questionnaires and scales (Excessive Daytime Sleepiness Scale (EDSS), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and STOP-Bang) in these patients. METHODS A longitudinal, prospective, single-cohort study, with consecutive sampling including patients aged 18-65 years with obesity grade II (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m2) and hypertension, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome or OSA or obesity grade III or IV (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) elective for bariatric surgery. Patients were evaluated at the Otorhinolaryngology department with an anamnesis regarding OSA including the administration of three sleep questionnaires (EDSS, ESS, and STOP-Bang), followed by cardiorespiratory polygraphy (CRP) for sleep evaluation. RESULTS 124 patients were included in this study. While 74.2% of the sample exhibited OSA on CRP, only 28.2% had a prior diagnosis. The STOP-Bang questionnaire demonstrated the highest sensitivity (93.3%) for detecting moderate to severe OSA, although with low specificity (33.8%). EDSS and ESS did not show a significant association with the presence of OSA. CONCLUSIONS OSA screening is crucial in candidates for bariatric surgery due to its high prevalence and low diagnosis rate. The STOP-Bang questionnaire may serve as a useful tool for identifying patients at risk of moderate to severe OSA and optimizing sleep assessments. However, further research is necessary to validate its utility in this specific population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is high among the bariatric surgery candidates. Obesity is the most important individual risk factor for OSA. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) on OSA 5 years after the surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this prospective multicenter study, standard overnight cardiorespiratory recording was conducted to 150 patients at baseline prior to bariatric surgery. A total of 111 (73.3%) patients of those had OSA. Cardiorespiratory recordings at 5 years after surgery were available for 70 OSA patients. The changes in anthropometric and demographic measurements including age, weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist and neck circumference were evaluated. Also, a quality of life (QoL) questionnaire 15D administered in a baseline was controlled at 5-year follow-up visit. RESULTS At 5-year OSA was cured in 55% of patients, but moderate or severe OSA still persisted in 20% of patients after operation. Mean total AHI decreased from 27.8 events/h to 8.8 events/h (p < 0.001) at 5-year follow-up. A clinically significant difference in QoL was seen in mobility, breathing, sleeping, usual activities, discomfort and symptoms, vitality and sexual activity. The QoL total score improved more in OSA patient at 5-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS LRYGB is an effective treatment of OSA in obese patients and the achieved beneficial outcomes are maintained at 5-year follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity has been reported to be associated with short sleep duration. It follows that patients with a BMI >35kg/m2 could be expected to have the poorest sleep. This poor sleep could be explained by the presence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), although treatment with positive airway pressure (PAP) may modify this. The purpose of this study is to determine if patients attending for bariatric surgery have poor sleep independent of OSA status. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sleep duration and quality, using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), was analysed in 203 patients undergoing bariatric surgery between June 2016 and May 2019 in a single centre. Anthropometric data on all patients were recorded as well as presence of OSA and PAP usage. RESULTS The bariatric population reported an average (standard deviation) sleep duration of 6.5 (1.6) h, and 67.9% of patients had a documented poor sleep quality (PSQI>5). The presence of OSA did not significantly influence either sleep duration (p=0.23) or sleep quality (p=0.5). On logistic regression, there was no significant relationship between sleep duration or sleep quality and the following variables: age, sex, and AHI. There was however a significant association between BMI and sleep quality (p= 0.007). PSQI was inversely associated with BMI. This equated to 1 kg/m2 weight gain being associated with 0.097 decrease in PSQI score. CONCLUSIONS The presence of OSA does not influence either sleep duration or sleep quality in the bariatric surgical population. This suggests that clinically severe obesity itself may cause poor sleep.

Abstract
The prevalence of severe pediatric obesity is rising and poses many adverse health risks. Children with obesity are at increased risk of several cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. They are also more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which increases the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic problems. In this review, we examine the relationship between OSA and obesity, improvements in OSA after non-surgical and surgical weight loss, and explore potential directions for future research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends patients attending for bariatric surgery (BS) to be evaluated for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) as untreated OSA is associated with a greater risk of post-operative complications. Not all bariatric patients have symptoms of OSA and their phenotype may be at less risk than the typical sleep clinic phenotype. Therefore, all patients may not require pre-operative sleep studies. This study aimed to establish whether screened and unscreened BS patients are at increased risk of post-operative complications. METHODS A retrospective review of BS patients at a single centre, June 2008-May 2017. Demographic data, sleep study outcomes, post-operative complications, length of stay (LOS), intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and readmission rates were reviewed. RESULTS A total of 510 patients underwent gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or gastric banding. 385/510 (75.5%) were female. Mean age was 46 ± 11.27 years, mean BMI was 49 kg/m2 ± 7.42. OSA was diagnosed in 300/510 (58.8%) and normal sleep in 57/510 (11.2%). OSA was not associated with increased post-operative complications. No significant difference between screened and unscreened patients for the development of post-operative pulmonary or cardiac complications, (p = 0.607, p = 0.827, respectively). Increasing age was a predictor for pulmonary (p = 0.011) and cardiac (p = 0.018) complications. CONCLUSION OSA is very prevalent in morbidly obese patients. The lack of association between patients diagnosed with OSA and unscreened patients, and post-operative complications suggests that not all patients require pre-operative sleep studies. Further studies may help identify which patients can safely avoid OSA screening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze metabolic and hormonal disorders resulting from the association between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome that predispose to cardiovascular diseases and investigate the clinical benefits obtained from treatment approaches for both conditions. METHODS A literature review between 1997 and 2017 was conducted in the PubMed search database. RESULTS Obesity is the most important risk factor for OSA, and the progressive increase in its prevalence also affects OSA incidence. In addition, OSA may aggravate weight gain and obesity comorbidities. Both conditions lead to an increase in the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. The gold standard treatment for moderate to severe OSA is CPAP, but significant reduction in major cardiovascular events was not observed in clinical trials. Body weight reduction appears effective to improve OSA, as long as it is maintained. Lifestyle modifications and drug therapy seem to be the preferred approach to treat obesity, but in severe obesity and moderate to severe OSA, bariatric surgery is probably the most adequate treatment. CONCLUSIONS Weight control is essential to decrease the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality potentially linked to both obesity and OSA. CPAP seems to treat only OSA without decreasing these risks. Other treatment strategies are lifestyle modifications and drug therapy, which need further investigation as well as bariatric surgery for severe cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uncontrolled studies looking at the discontinuation of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment after bariatric surgery (BS) have suggested that surgery improves OSA. However, this discontinuation of OSA treatment by BS patients has never been compared to a matched population without BS. The objectives of this study are to evaluate whether BS increases OSA treatment discontinuation compared to that in matched patients without BS and to identify predictive factors of OSA treatment discontinuation in BS patients. The study took place in an ambulatory, tertiary hospital. METHODS We included 61 OSA patients who underwent BS in a retrospective controlled cohort study. The computerized matching procedure included age, sex, body mass index, year of starting OSA treatment, treatment type, and duration selected 59 controls matched to 28 patients with BS. The main outcome was OSA treatment discontinuation within 2 years after BS. RESULTS Patients with BS stopped OSA treatment more often than controls, usually between 6 months and 1 year after BS: hazards ratio (HR (95 %, CI)) 15.93 (3.29, 77.00). Before 6 months or beyond 1 year after BS, treatment discontinuation was not different between BS patients and controls. In univariate analyses, female gender, absence of co-morbidities, greater weight loss, and lower baseline OSA severity were associated with stopping OSA treatment after BS. No factor remained independently associated in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS Apneic patients having BS stop OSA treatment more than matched controls. Treatment discontinuation may be attributed to recovery or to abandonment. The effect of BS on OSA may have been overestimated in uncontrolled BS studies that ignored basal OSA treatment discontinuation in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity has become one of the greatest public health concerns worldwide and is known to be the most important risk factor for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Prevalence of OSA has increased over the last two decades, but it is estimated that the majority of cases still remain undiagnosed. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of OSA in Finnish bariatric surgery candidates. METHODS In this prospective multicentre study, standard overnight cardiorespiratory recording was conducted in 197 consecutive patients from three different hospitals. A sleep questionnaire was also administered. Anthropometric and demographic measurements included age, weight, body mass index (BMI) and waist and neck circumference. RESULTS Altogether, 71 % of the patients were diagnosed with OSA. The prevalence was higher in males (90 %) than in females (60 %) (p < 0.001). In OSA patients' group, the mean neck and waist circumference was larger (p < 0.001) and the body weight higher (p < 0.01) than in non-OSA group. When separating patients by gender, a significant difference remained only concerning neck circumference in female patients. CONCLUSIONS OSA is very common among bariatric surgery patients, especially in men. Considering this and the increased long-term morbidity and mortality generally related to OSA, a routine screening for OSA seems indicated in bariatric patients, particularly men.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the main predictive factors for obtaining a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients awaiting bariatric surgery. Methods: Retrospective study of consecutive patients undergoing pre-operative evaluation for bariatric surgery and referred for in-laboratory polysomnography. Eight variables were evaluated: sex, age, neck circumference (NC), BMI, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score, snoring, observed apnea, and hypertension. We employed ROC curve analysis to determine the best cut-off value for each variable and multiple linear regression to identify independent predictors of OSA severity. Results: We evaluated 1,089 patients, of whom 781 (71.7%) were female. The overall prevalence of OSA-defined as an apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 5.0 events/h-was 74.8%. The best cut-off values for NC, BMI, age, and ESS score were 42 cm, 42 kg/m2, 37 years, and 10 points, respectively. All eight variables were found to be independent predictors of a diagnosis of OSA in general, and all but one were found to be independent predictors of a diagnosis of moderate/severe OSA (AHI ≥ 15.0 events/h), the exception being hypertension. We devised a 6-item model, designated the NO-OSAS model (NC, Obesity, Observed apnea, Snoring, Age, and Sex), with a cut-off value of ≥ 3 for identifying high-risk patients. For a diagnosis of moderate/severe OSA, the model showed 70.8% accuracy, 82.8% sensitivity, and 57.9% specificity. Conclusions: In our sample of patients awaiting bariatric surgery, there was a high prevalence of OSA. At a cut-off value of ≥ 3, the proposed 6-item model showed good accuracy for a diagnosis of moderate/severe OSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) associated with obesity is known to improve after bariatric surgery, but little is known about early changes in this condition after surgery. OBJECTIVES To study the clinical course of OSA after bariatric surgery SETTING: Children's hospital in the United States METHODS: Adolescents and young adults with obstructive sleep apnea undergoing vertical sleeve gastrectomy (n = 6) or gastric bypass (n = 1) were enrolled in this prospective study. Participants underwent formal polysomnography before and at 3 and 5 weeks after bariatric surgery. Anthropometric measurements and assay for orexin and leptin were also performed at study visits. Thirty-one adolescents who underwent 2 polysomnography studies that were 4 weeks apart served as control patients. RESULTS Baseline mean (range) age of participants was 17.8 (15.4-20.7) years, 71% were male, with body mass index of 55.2 (41.3-61.6) kg/m2 and had a median apnea hypopnea index (AHI) of 15.8 (7.1-23.8) events/hour. Differences in least-square means from longitudinal analysis did not show significant differences in AHI in the control group but showed significant postoperative decline in AHI relative to baseline. AHI declined postoperatively from baseline by 9.2 events/hour (95% confidence interval: 3.8 to 14.5) at 3 weeks (P = .002) and 9.1 events/hour (95% confidence interval: 3.8 to 14.5) at 5 weeks (P = .002); there was no significant change from 3 to 5 weeks in AHI. Leptin decreased and orexin levels increased significantly by 3 weeks postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS These observations suggest that OSA responds early and out of proportion to weight loss after metabolic and or bariatric surgery, thus weight independent factors may at least in part be responsible for early improvement in OSA postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No previous studies have validated the use of portable monitoring (PM) for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in morbidly obese individuals. Our aim was to investigate the accuracy of PM for detecting respiratory events in morbidly obese patients that will be undergoing bariatric surgery. METHODS This was a prospective study involving patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m(2) who were recruited from the Sleep Clinic of Universidade Federal de São Paulo. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) was evaluated during full-night polysomnography (PSG). PM use was randomized and used on two consecutive nights: (1) at home (STDHome) and (2) at the sleep laboratory with PSG (PSG_STDLab). RESULTS Although 58 participants initially underwent the recordings, 26 (45%) were excluded because of technical problems. The patients' mean age was 42.9 ± 10.9 (SD) years, and 56% were female. The mean BMI was 40.8 ± 5.2 kg/m(2). All patients had high risk for OSA, as defined by the Stop-Bang questionnaire, and the mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was 46.9 ± 30.4/h. The intraclass coefficient of the correlation between AHI_PSG and AHI_STDLab was r = 0.92 (p = 0.0001); the intraclass coefficient for AHI_PSG and AHI_STDHome was r = 0.84 (p = 0.0001). The Kappa index was 0.87 (p > 0.0001) for severe cases. The sensitivity and the positive predictive value increased with the disease severity. A Bland-Altman analysis showed good agreement between the investigated methods. CONCLUSIONS PM is an efficacious method for diagnosing OSA in obese patients who have a high clinical probability of the disease. The method displays good sensitivity and specificity in severe cases; nevertheless, the high rate of data loss must be taken into account.

Abstract
Nearly one million Brazilians were morbidly obese in 2013. Bariatric surgery is an option for sustained weight loss, and the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS) had provided 50,000 such procedures as of 2014. The SUS database does not provide anthropometric and comorbidity data on these patients, so the aim of the current study was to perform a systematic review to assess the profile of SUS patients that underwent bariatric surgery from 1998 to 2014. The MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, and Scopus databases were searched, and the methodological quality of the included articles was assessed. Of the 1,591 identified studies, 39 were selected, 95% of which were observational. Patients had a mean age of 41.4 years and mean body mass index of 48.6kg/m2; 21% were males, 61% hypertensive, 22% diabetics, and 31% presented sleep apnea. When compared to international study samples, SUS patients showed similar a anthropometric profile and comorbidities but higher prevalence of hypertension. The studies' low methodological quality suggests caution in interpreting the results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common among bariatric surgery candidates. After surgical weight loss, OSA frequently persists and untreated OSA can lead to weight gain. Long-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) adherence is unclear and poor adherence may worsen weight loss outcomes. We sought to determine the impact of CPAP use on long-term weight-loss outcomes in a cohort of bariatric patients. METHODS Long-term observational study of bariatric surgery patients with OSA. Patients were evaluated with polysomnography preoperatively and one-year postoperatively. The cohort was again evaluated a mean of 7.2 years later to determine the relationship between long-term CPAP use and subsequent regain of weight. RESULTS Twenty-four consecutive patients (aged 48.5 ± 9.4 years at time of surgery; 73% female) were included in the initial assessment, and long-term outcome data were available on 22 subjects. Persistent OSA was documented in 21 of 22 subjects (95%) one year postoperatively. Final evaluation occurred 7.2 ± 2.3 years following surgery. Weight (213.3 ± 39.1 to 235.3 ± 47.1 lb, p = 0.10) and BMI (32.5 ± 5.4 to 37.3 ± 8.2 kg/m(2), p = 0.03) increased in most (n = 19, 86.4%) from postoperative to final evaluation. CPAP use declined from 83.3% (preoperatively) to 38.1% (one year) and to 23.8% (final evaluation). BMI increased among those not using CPAP at long-term follow-up compared to those with continued CPAP use (6.8% v -1.8%, p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In our cohort of bariatric patients with OSA, long-term adherence to CPAP therapy was poor, and non-adherence was associated with weight gain. Ongoing follow-up of OSA in this population may help to preserve initial achievements after surgical weight loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), also known as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), has been increasingly recognized as a possible risk factor for adverse perioperative outcomes in non-bariatric surgeries. However, the impact of SDB on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing bariatric surgery remains less clearly defined. We hypothesized that SDB would be independently associated with worse postoperative outcomes. METHODS Data were obtained from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database and included a total of 91,028 adult patients undergoing bariatric surgeries from 2004 to 2008. The primary outcomes were in-hospital death, total charges, and length of stay. There were two secondary outcomes of interest: respiratory and cardiac complications. Regression models were fitted to assess the independent association between SDB and the outcomes of interest. RESULTS SDB was independently associated with decreased mortality (OR = 0.34, 95% CI = 0.23-0.50, p < 0.001), total charges (-$869, p < 0.001), and length of stay (-0.25 days, p < 0.001). SDB was independently associated with significantly increased odds ratio of emergent endotracheal intubation (OR = 4.35, 95% CI = 3.97-4.77, p < 0.001), noninvasive ventilation (OR = 14.12, 95% CI = 12.09-16.51, p < 0.001), and atrial fibrillation (OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.11-1.41, p < 0.001). Emergent intubation occurred significantly earlier in the postoperative course in patients with SDB. Although non-SDB patients had an overall lower risk of emergent intubation compared to SDB patients, their outcomes were significantly worse when they did get emergently intubated. CONCLUSIONS In this large nationally representative sample, despite the increased association of SDB/OSA with postoperative cardiopulmonary complications, the diagnosis of SDB/OSA was negatively, rather than positively, associated with in-hospital mortality and resource use.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES The South Asian population is at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. We compared the prevalence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in South Asians and white Europeans with severe obesity. METHODS Data from consecutive patients attending a specialist weight management service were analyzed. Self-reported age, gender, and ethnicity were recorded. Objective measurements of blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and apneahypopnea index (AHI) were also acquired. RESULTS A total of 308 patients (72.7% women; 13% South Asian) were included, with mean age and BMI of 46 ± 12 y and 49 ± 8 kg/m2, respectively. South Asians had significantly increased prevalence of OSA compared to white Europeans (85% vs. 66% [p = 0.017]) and were more likely to have severe OSA (42.5% vs. 21.6% [p = 0.015]). South Asians had significantly higher median AHI (24 events/h: interquartile range [IQR] 9.3-57.6 vs. 9 events/h: IQR 3.4-26.6; p < 0.01), significantly lower minimum oxygen saturation (76%: IQR 64% to 84% vs. 83%: IQR 77% to 87%; p < 0.01), and spent a significantly greater amount of time < 90% oxygen saturation (8.4%: IQR 1.0% to 24.3% vs. 2.4%: IQR 0.2% to 16.0%; p = 0.03). South Asian ethnicity, independent of demographics, BMI, and comorbidities, was associated with β = 1.84 (95% CI: 1.27-2.65) increase in AHI+1 compared to white Europeans. Furthermore, we confirmed other independent OSA risk factors including increasing age, BMI, and male gender (all p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Severely obese South Asians had significantly greater prevalence and severity of OSA than white Europeans. OSA may contribute to increased cardiovascular risk in South Asians compared to white Europeans with severe obesity. Mechanisms mediating the observed associations between these ethnicities require further investigation.

Abstract
Recently, health problems due to overwork, apparent suicide produced by the progress of the social stress and lifestyle diseases and lifestyle diseases like hyperpiesia or obesity have been reported. From this, it has become of interest to avoid these problems and to keep the health. However, the indicators for health control and physical condition haven't been defined. Body Mass Index (BMI) has traditionally been used as an indicator of health. But, there are many unclear points left in the criteria of BMI to utilize. Sleep would be an important theme to know and to keep health. During sleep, the biological information related to health state would be appeared because of predominant activity of autonomic nervous system under the state of unconsciousness. From these, the authors investigated the relationship between BMI and autonomic nervous activity. Nineteen healthy young adults participated in this study and performed sleep experiment by adopting a pressure sensor named “dynamic air-pressure sensor” and a pressure sensor array. As a result, the authors found some relationships among respiration state, motions of muscles and unconscious behavior depending on BMI. This result about sleep behavior would suggest a new definition for BMI. For example, large value of BMI brings influences, maybe bad, to respiratory behavior during sleep.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the frequency of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery and their identification for risk of OSA by Berlin Questionnaire (BQ) and excessive daytime sleepiness by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). METHODS Fifty nine patients were evaluated by BQ and ESS. Out of these individuals, 35 performed a full-night sleep study using a type 3 portable monitoring (PM). The questionnaire results were compared for gender and BMI. The presence and severity of OSA was correlated with gender and both questionnaires. RESULTS 94.75% of the respondents presented high risk for OSA by BQ and 59.65% presented positivity by ESS. Taking into account the AHI> 5 per hour for OSA diagnosis, all of them presented OSA, average AHI of 45.31 ± 26.3 per hour and 68.6% have severe OSA (AHI>30). The male patients had a higher AHI (p<0.05). There was a positive correlation between the positivity in both questionnaires as well as the severity of OSA measured by AHI (p<0.05). CONCLUSION The frequency and severe obstructive sleep apnea in the studied group is high. The Berlin Questionnaire and Epworth Sleepiness Scale had a positive correlation with the diagnosis of OSA in the group studied.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with an elevated rate of cardiovascular mortality. However, this issue has not been investigated in patients with elevated proneness to cardiovascular diseases. Our hypothesis was that OSA would have an especially adverse effect on the risk of cardiovascular mortality in Finnish individuals exhibiting elevated proneness for coronary heart diseases. METHODS Ambulatory polygraphic recordings from 405 men having suspected OSA were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were categorized regarding sleep disordered breathing into a normal group (apnea hypopnea index (AHI) < 5, n = 104), mild OSA group (5 ≤ AHI < 15, n = 100), and moderate to severe OSA group (AHI ≥ 15, n = 201). In addition, basic anthropometric and health data were collected. In patients who died during the follow-up period (at least 12 years and 10 months), the primary and secondary causes of death were recorded. RESULTS After adjustment for age, BMI, and smoking, the patients with moderate to severe OSA suffered significantly (p < 0.05) higher mortality (hazard ratio 3.13) than their counterparts with normal recordings. The overall mortality in the moderate to severe OSA group was 26.4 %, while in the normal group it was 9.7 %. Hazard ratio for cardiovascular mortality was 4.04 in the moderate to severe OSA and 1.87 in the mild OSA group. CONCLUSIONS OSA seems to have an especially adverse effect on the cardiovascular mortality of patients with an elevated genetic susceptibility to coronary heart diseases. When considering that all our patients had possibility of continuous positive airway pressure treatment and our reference group consisted of patients suffering from daytime somnolence, the hazard ratio of 4.04 for cardiovascular mortality in patients with moderate to severe disease is disturbingly high.

Abstract
Obesity is recognized as a global health crisis. Bariatric surgery offers a treatment that can reduce weight, induce remission of obesity-related diseases, and improve the quality of life. In this article, we outline the different options in bariatric surgery and summarize the recommendations for selecting and assessing potential candidates before proceeding to surgery. We present current data on post-surgical outcomes and evaluate the psychosocial and economic effects of bariatric surgery. Finally, we evaluate the complication rates and present recommendations for post-operative care.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has become a major public health problem in the United State and Europe. However, perioperative strategies regarding diagnostic options and management of untreated OSA remain inadequate. Preoperative screening and identification of patients with undiagnosed OSA may lead to early perioperative interventions that may alter cardiopulmonary events associated with surgery and anesthesia.(1) Hence, clinicians need to become familiar with the preoperative screening and diagnosis of OSA. Perioperative management of a patient with OSA should be modified and may include regional anesthesia and alternative analgesic techniques such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that may reduce the need for systemic opioids. Additionally, supplemental oxygen and continuous pulse oximetry monitoring should be utilized to maintain baseline oxygen saturation. Postoperatively patients should remain in a semi-upright position and positive pressure therapy should be used in patients with high-risk OSA.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity and self-reported sleepiness and daytime functioning in patients considering bariatric surgery for treatment of obesity. METHODS Using a retrospective cohort design, we identified 342 patients who had sleep evaluations prior to bariatric surgery. Our final sample included 269 patients (78.6 % of the original cohort, 239 females; mean age = 42.0 ± 9.5 years; body mass index = 50.2 ± 7.7 kg/m(2)) who had overnight polysomnography and completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and the Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ). Patients' OSA was classified as none/mild (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) < 15, n = 112), moderate (15 ≤ AHI < 30, n = 77), or severe (AHI ≥ 30, n = 80). We calculated the proportion of unique variance (PUV) for the five FOSQ subscales. ANOVA was used to determine if ESS and FOSQ were associated with OSA severity. Unpaired t tests compared ESS and FOSQ scores in our sample with published data. RESULTS The average AHI was 29.5 ± 31.5 events per hour (range = 0-175.8). The mean ESS score was 6.3 ± 4.8, and the mean global FOSQ score was 100.3 ± 18.2. PUVs for FOSQ subscales showed moderate-to-high unique contributions to FOSQ variance. ESS and global FOSQ score did not differ by AHI group. Only the FOSQ vigilance subscale differed by OSA severity with the severe group reporting more impairment than the moderate and none/mild groups. Our sample reported less sleepiness and daytime impairment than previously reported means in patients and controls. CONCLUSIONS Subjective sleepiness and functional impairment were not associated significantly with OSA severity in our sample of patients considering surgery for obesity. Further research is needed to understand individual differences in sleepiness in patients with OSA. If bariatric patients underreport symptoms, self-report measures are not an adequate substitute for objective assessment and clinical judgment when evaluating bariatric patients for OSA. Patients with severe obesity need evaluation for OSA even in the absence of subjective complaints.

Abstract
PURPOSE Clinical and epidemiologic investigations suggest a strong association between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the currently available literature reporting on the effectiveness of dietary weight loss in treating OSA among obese patients. METHODS Relevant studies were identified by computerized searches of PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials through September 2011 as well as the reference lists of all obtained articles. Information on study design, patient characteristics, pre- and post-dietary weight loss measures of OSA and body mass index (BMI), and study quality was obtained. Data were extracted by two independent analysts. Weighted averages using a random-effects model are reported with 95 % confidence intervals. RESULTS Nine articles representing 577 patients were selected. Dietary weight loss program resulted in a pooled mean BMI reduction of 4.8 kg/m(2) (95 % confidence interval [CI] 3.8-5.9). The random-effects pooled apnea hypopnea (AHI) indices at pre- and post-dietary intervention were 52.5 (range 10.0-91.0) and 28.3 events/h (range 5.4-64.5), respectively (p < 0.001). Compared to control, the weighted mean difference of AHI was decreased by -14.3 events/h (95 % CI -23.5 to -5.1; p = 0.002) in favor of the dietary weight loss programs. CONCLUSIONS Dietary weight loss programs are effective in reducing the severity of OSA but not adequate in relieving all respiratory events. Weight reduction programs should be considered as adjunct rather than curative therapy.
