| Abstract |
Obesity has become one of the greatest public health concerns worldwide and is known to be the most important risk factor for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Prevalence of OSA has increased over the last two decades, but it is estimated that the majority of cases still remain undiagnosed. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of OSA in Finnish bariatric surgery candidates. In this prospective multicentre study, standard overnight cardiorespiratory recording was conducted in 197 consecutive patients from three different hospitals. A sleep questionnaire was also administered. Anthropometric and demographic measurements included age, weight, body mass index (BMI) and waist and neck circumference. Altogether, 71 % of the patients were diagnosed with OSA. The prevalence was higher in males (90 %) than in females (60 %) (p < 0.001). In OSA patients' group, the mean neck and waist circumference was larger (p < 0.001) and the body weight higher (p < 0.01) than in non-OSA group. When separating patients by gender, a significant difference remained only concerning neck circumference in female patients. OSA is very common among bariatric surgery patients, especially in men. Considering this and the increased long-term morbidity and mortality generally related to OSA, a routine screening for OSA seems indicated in bariatric patients, particularly men. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 November 2015.
All research outputs
#20,295,501
of 22,832,057 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#3,004
of 3,374 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#236,681
of 282,576 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#60
of 74 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,832,057 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,374 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 282,576 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 74 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
