Risk of Venous Thromboembolism After Total Knee Arthroplasty in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Results from a National Cohort.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent condition associated with many comorbidities. However, establishing the independent impact of OSA on specific health outcomes can be challenging without access to a substantial patient cohort. This study aimed to investigate whether a diagnosis of OSA was independently associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
