Association of Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC)

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with COVID-19 infection. Fewer investigations have assessed OSA as a possible risk for the development of Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).

Research Question: In a general population, is OSA associated with increased odds of PASC-related symptoms and with an overall definition of PASC?.

Study Design: Cross-sectional survey of a general population of 24,803 U.S. adults.

Results: COVID-19 infection occurred in 10,324 (41.6%) participants. Prevalence rates for a wide variety of persistent (> 3 months post infection) putative PASC-related physical and mental health symptoms ranged from 6.5% (peripheral edema) to 19.6% (nervous/anxious). In logistic regression models adjusted for demographic, anthropometric, comorbid medical and socioeconomic factors, OSA was associated with all putative PASC-related symptoms with the highest adjusted odds ratios (aOR) being fever (2.053) and nervous/anxious (1.939) respectively. Elastic net regression identified the 13 of 37 symptoms most strongly associated with COVID-19 infection. Four definitions of PASC were developed using these symptoms either weighted equally or proportionally by their regression coefficients. In all 4 logistic regression models using these definitions, OSA was associated with PASC (range of aORs: 1.934-2.071); this association was mitigated in those with treated OSA. In the best fitting overall model requiring ≥3 symptoms, PASC prevalence was 21.9%.

Conclusion: In a general population sample, OSA is associated with the development of PASC-related symptoms and a global definition of PASC. A PASC definition requiring the presence of 3 or more symptoms may be useful in identifying cases and for future research.
