Morbid obesity (MO) is often complicated by obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), which in some cases is evaluated by pulsioximetry. This cross-sectional study was designed to investigate the prevalence of discordance between desaturation index (DI) and apnoeahypopnoea index (AHI) and its effects on insulin resistance and secretion in MO patients candidate to bariatric surgery (n=496) in whom a full polysomnographic study was carried out. We identified 163 (33%) out o...
