META includes rapid response team activation, code stroke, code blue, and reintubation between patients screened low risk, at risk, high risk for OSA, and with previous OSA diagnosis among a propensity-score-matched cohort. Patients not screened with DOISNORE50 questionnaire are used as references (Ref). *Statistically significant. CI = confidence interval, ED = emergency department, ICU = intensive care unit, META = medical emergency team activation, OR = odds ratio, OSA = obstructive sleep apnea.
