However, it is unclear whether OSA confers additional CVD risk among individuals with cancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the TriNetX database, including adults \u226540\u2009years diagnosed with cancer between 2012 and 2023. Individuals with and without OSA were propensity score matched on demographics and comorbidities. The primary outcome was a composite of heart failure, atrial fibrillation\/flutter, myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, ischemic stroke, and all\u2010cause mortality. Cox proportional hazards models were used for time\u2010to\u2010event analyses, with subgroup analyses by sex and body mass index.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">Among 4\u2009801\u2009487 patients with cancer, 643\u2009143 had OSA. After matching (N\u2009=\u2009629\u2009114 per group), those with OSA had a higher risk of the composite CVD outcome (n events=189\u2009090; hazard ratio [HR], 1.27 [95% CI, 1.26\u20131.28]). OSA was associated with increased risks of heart failure (HR, 1.80 [95% CI, 1.78\u20131.83]), atrial fibrillation\/flutter (HR, 1.71 [95% CI, 1.69\u20131.74]), myocardial infarction (HR 1.42 [95% CI, 1.39\u20131.45]), and ischemic stroke (HR, 1.41 [95% CI, 1.38\u20131.44]). Paradoxically, all\u2010cause mortality was lower in the group with OSA (HR, 0.84 [95% CI, 0.83\u20130.85]). The highest heart failure risk was seen in women with OSA. CVD risk persisted across body mass index groups, including individuals without obesity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">OSA significantly increases the risk of CVD events in patients with cancer, especially heart failure in women, regardless of obesity status.
