Sleep surgeries included uvulopalatopharyngoplasty and hypoglossal nerve stimulation. 1:1 Propensity score matching (PSM) ensured cohort comparability by age, sex, and race.

Patients with OSA undergoing sleep surgery demonstrated a significantly lower incidence of MVAs (3.403%) compared to the OSA\u2009+\u2009CPAP cohort (6.072%) and the no\u2010treatment group (4.662%). The odds ratio (OR) for MVA incidence in the no\u2010treatment group compared to the OSA\u2009+\u2009sleep surgery cohort was 1.214 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.060\u20101.391, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.0051).
