Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Important limitations of this study were:1) Presence of OSA could not be determined in patients who died during hospitalisation. This may have resulted in underestimation of prevalence of moderate to severe OSA. Although our previous work have shown increased mortality among those with high risk for OSA (as assessed with OSA screening questionnaires).23 2 ) Association between presence of OSA and severity of COVID19 could not be explored owing to inclusion of participants from only ICU. For this, patients with minimal or mild symptoms of COVID19 should have been included in study. However due to resource constraints, we restricted our study to ICU survivors. Participants of this study were patients from ICU only therefore findings should not be generalised to all COVID19 patients. To summarise, moderate-severe OSA is highly prevalent (73%) in COVID19 moderate to severe ARDS survivors and it will be interesting to explore further effect of role of OSA in pathophysiology of COVID19 ARDS.
