Is acute pulmonary embolism more severe in the presence of obstructive sleep apnea? Results from an observational cohort study

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) might influence disease severity in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). 253 survivors of acute PE were evaluated for sleep-disordered breathing by portable monitoring and nocturnal polysomnography.
