Recurrent/Subsequent Stroke and Associated Outcomes in Geriatric Patients with OSA and Prior Stroke Events: A Retrospective Study Using the 2019 National Inpatient Sample.

: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases the risk of stroke and cardiovascular diseases. However, its impact on geriatric patients with a prior history of stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) has not been adequately studied. We utilized the 2019 National Inpatient Sample in the US to identify geriatric patients with OSA (G-OSA) who had a prior history of stroke/TIA.
