Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a frequent comorbid condition in patients with type 2 diabetic (T2DM). Concomitant OSA is associated with a detrimental impact on metabolic control. Both OSA and T2DM independently lead to increased cardiovascular disease and mortality. The impact of OSA on the acceleration of organ dysfunction leading to increased healthcare utilization is unknown.
Methods: This is a retrospective case-control cohort study, a secondary analysis utilizing a nationwide dataset. Patients who underwent elective surgical procedures from 2009 to 2014 were identified. Among these patients, we compared patients with obstructive sleep apnea and those without obstructive sleep apnea. Exact 1:1 matching was performed based on similar characteristics such as age, sex, geographic location, surgical facility environment, performing surgeon, and severity of illness during hospitalization. The subgroup of patients with T2DM with or without OSA was analyzed for post-discharge hospital admissions, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, emergency room (ER) visits, and outpatient visits.
Results: Among 47,719 matched patients of the initial study, this subgroup included 4,567 patients with diabetes and OSA and 3,842 patients with diabetes but no OSA. In the presence of comorbid OSA, patients with T2DM had higher odds of increased healthcare utilization among all the outcomes: inpatient visits increased with an odds ratio of 2.50 (confidence interval (CI) 2.28-2.74) and ICU admissions 1.96 (CI 1.73-2.25) ER 1.93 **(CI 1.75-2.12) and outpatient visits 2.18 (CI 2.00-2.38). Future healthcare utilization per 100 patient-years was also increased significantly among all outcomes (p < 0.0001).
Conclusions: In patients with diabetes undergoing elective surgery, the presence of OSA was associated with higher future healthcare utilization.

Introduction: Obesity and its complications are associated with high morbidity/mortality and a significant healthcare cost burden in Spain. It is therefore essential to know the potential clinical and economic benefits of reducing obesity. The objective of this study is to predict the decrease in rates of onset of potential complications associated with obesity and the cost savings after a weight loss of 15% over 10 years in Spain.

CHU Angers, Department of Respiratory and Sleep Medicine, F-49933, Angers, France; Univ Angers, Faculty of Medicine, F-49000 Angers, France.
Objectives: Treatment-emergent central sleep apnea (TECSA) is well established in continuous positive airway pressure therapy but was barely studied in mandibular advancement device (MAD) treatment. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of TECSA in patients treated with a MAD and to determine its risk factors and clinical relevance.
Materials And Methods: A total of 139 patients from the IRSR Pays de la Loire Sleep Cohort suffering from snores or obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and treated with a custom-made titratable MAD were included.

Objective: To examine longitudinal associations between self-reported sleep disturbances and mobility disability progression among women, including subgroups with multiple sclerosis (MS), diabetes, and osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: Prospective cohort study using data from Nurses' Health Study long-form questionnaires (2008, 2012, 2014, 2016). Logistic regression was used to quantify associations between sleep-related variables at baseline and subsequent increase in mobility disability.
A Triple Threat: A Case Report Detailing Surgical Management for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Flail Mitral Valve and Severe Pulmonary Hypertension.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA.
Unlabelled: The combination of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with outflow tract obstruction, severe pre-capillary and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension, and severe primary mitral regurgitation is rare and presents distinct management challenges.
Background And Clinical Significance: Pulmonary hypertension is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy managed medically and often precludes patients from undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass due to increased surgical morbidity and mortality. In studies specifically evaluating surgical myectomy, however, survival is favorable in patients with moderate-to-severe pulmonary hypertension.
