The impact of obstructive sleep apnea on early surgical site infections in elderly PLIF patients: a retrospective propensity score-matched analysis
OSA significantly increases the risk of early SSIs and prolongs hospital stays in elderly PLIF patients. Subgroup analysis suggests that CPAP/APAP therapy may have benefits to OSA patients, though this association requires validation through prospective studies. These findings emphasize the importance of preoperative OSA screening and management to improve surgical outcomes in this high-risk population.
