Abstract

SYNOPSIS The spectrum of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) ranges from mild snoring to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the most severe form of SDB. Current recommendations are to treat these women with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) despite limited data. SDB in early and mid-pregnancy were associated with preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. Pregnant women with a diagnosis of OSA at delivery were at significantly increased risk of having cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, pulmonary embolism and in-hospital death. These effects were exacerbated in the presence of obesity. Postpartum, these women are at risk for respiratory suppression and should be monitored.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Continuous pulse oximetry during labor and the postpartum period can identify hypoxic episodes and guide management.

    “The use of continuous pulse oximetry during labor and the postpartum period can identify hypoxic episodes and guide management.1015”

    From International Consensus Statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (2023) · cites this paper as [1015]

    The Clinical Care section on intrapartum and immediate postpartum management recommends continuous pulse oximetry after discharge from the recovery room for women at risk of postoperative respiratory suppression. It also says that noted hypoxemia may prompt CPAP or noninvasive ventilation. The passage does not recommend continuous pulse oximetry during labor, so the claim extends the recommendation beyond the setting described. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Obstructive sleep apnea patients taking opioids have increased risks for morbidity and mortality.

    “given increased risks for morbidity and mortality among OSA patients taking opioids.1015,1017”

    From International Consensus Statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (2023) · cites this paper as [1015]

    The Intrapartum and Immediate Postpartum Management section warns of opioid-associated sedation and hypoventilation in women with OSA. The Severe maternal morbidity section reports increased morbidity and in-hospital mortality among pregnant women with OSA, but does not link those outcomes to opioid use. The claim combines these findings and extends them beyond the pregnant population addressed by the paper; page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Pregnancies in women with obstructive sleep apnea are widely considered high risk.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
