ABSTRACT
The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) pandemic poses a severe threat to global health.As an emerging infectious disease mainly attacking the respiratory tract,it has severely challenged the management of chronic non-infectious respiratory diseases including obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) and asthma.This article reviews the impact of OSA on the incidence of COVID-19 and the underlying pathophysiological mechanism,as well as the effects of OSA on the hospitalization risk and the prognosis and outcome of COVID-19 patients,which will provide novel ideas for the management of OSA during the COVID-19 pandemic.
