Half of all COVID-19 patients with obstructive sleep apnoea require hospitalization. Moderate to severe sleep apnoea predisposes to severe COVID-19. In contrast, indications are that sleep apnoea does not predispose to COVID-19 infection. These are the key findings of recent research using Finnish FinnGen data, a project supported by the Academy of Finland Center of Excellence in Complex Disease Genetics (CoECDG).
