- Abstract
This article discusses the incidence and complications of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in high-risk pregnancies. The study was conducted in a tertiary maternity in Barcelona, Spain, and included 30 pregnant women with specific risk factors such as obesity, advanced maternal age, assisted reproduction techniques, and chronic hypertension. The researchers used home respiratory polygraphy to diagnose OSA and found that 23.3% of the patients had OSA, with none being severe cases. The study also found that OSA was associated with shorter gestational age, higher blood pressure, lower APGAR scores, higher incidence of neonatal intensive care unit admission, and a trend towards lower birthweight and caesarean section delivery. The authors conclude that OSA may worsen pregnancy outcomes in high-risk pregnancies, particularly those affected by hypertension.
