Is the STOP-BANG Predictive of Worsening OSA in the Early Postop Period in Patients Undergoing TJA?

Completed

Conditions studied: Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Total Knee Arthroplasty

In brief

The goal of this study is to determine if the investigators can use the STOP-BANG score to identify those patients at risk for worsening Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) symptoms in the early postoperative period after major surgery. Hypotheses: 1. \- Postoperative sleep apnea parameters will be worse when compared to baseline in patients with higher scores on the STOP-BANG. 2. \- A higher STOP-BANG score will be predictive of worsening sleep apnea parameters in patients undergoing Total Knee Arthroscopy (TKA).
