Bariatric surgery in adolescents was associated with an 84% baseline incidence of OSA and led to a significant decrease in oAHI from 43.3 to 11.3 (p=0.01) in those with postoperative testing.

Does bariatric surgery improve obstructive sleep apnea and BMI in adolescents?
In adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery, there is a high baseline prevalence of OSA, and surgery leads to significant improvements in both BMI and apnea-hypopnea index.
ABSTRACT Objectives The incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity is both increasing in adolescents. Bariatric surgery is well‐established for treating obesity in adolescents and is effective in treating obesity and other comorbid conditions. The primary objective was to evaluate the incidence and characteristics of OSA in adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery. Secondary objectives were to evaluate outcomes based on prior T p = 0.01). A total of 15 patients had a postoperative PSG, with a significant decrease in oAHI (43.3–11.3; p = 0.01). Regression analysis found no association between the degree of weight loss and reduction in oAHI. Conclusion There is a high rate of OSA in adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery. Prior T&A did not affect the incidence and severity of OSA. Adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery are at high risk for OSA. Bariatric surgery can lead to a significant decrease in BMI and AHI. Level of Evidence 3
Chapel et al. (Thu,) conducted a cohort in Obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (n=107). Bariatric surgery was evaluated on Incidence of OSA. Bariatric surgery in adolescents was associated with an 84% baseline incidence of OSA and led to a significant decrease in oAHI from 43.3 to 11.3 (p=0.01) in those with postoperative testing.
