Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Obstructive sleep apnea is consistently shown to increase the risk of perioperative complications, difficult airway management, and adverse respiratory events during anesthesia and surgery.

The analysis

The retrieved papers uniformly support the claim that obstructive sleep apnea increases surgical and anesthetic risks, specifically elevating rates of perioperative complications, respiratory depression, and adverse postoperative outcomes. There is no evidence refuting this consensus.
