CPAP Therapy Benefits Patients With Mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Improved quality of life was seen at 3 months in patients who received CPAP therapy in addition to standard care.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Diagnosing OSA With Airway, Nonairway Parameters Identified With Ultrasound
Surface ultrasound measurement was able to identify both airway and nonairway parameters with moderate to good correlation with obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis.
CPAP Therapy Can Be Indicated in Likely Obstructive Sleep Apnea Without a Sleep Study
For patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea, a previous sleep study may not be required to indicate the need for continuous positive airway pressure treatment.
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index: Gender Comparisons of Perceived Sleep Quality
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index is a valid tool to use for gender comparisons of perceived sleep quality.
Longer PAP Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Reduces Medical Visits, Costs
Increased positive airway pressure therapy time for patients with obstructive sleep apnea yields better results.
The Relationship Between OSA and Mood Disorders, Cognitive Impairment
Common comorbidities in OSA such as cardiovascular disease and metabolic abnormalities, may confer a higher risk for the development of mental and cognitive impairment in patients with OSA compared with the general population.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Diagnostic Differences Between the Sexes
Considerable differences exist between men and women with respect to the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea, with female gender shown to be an independent, significant predictor of prevalent cardiovascular disease.
NIV and CPAP Similarly Improve LV Dysfunction in Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome With OSA
Treatment with noninvasive ventilation and continuous positive airway pressure provided similar improvements in pulmonary hypertension and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in obesity hypoventilation syndrome and concomitant severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Using Telemedicine to Optimize Long-Term CPAP Management in OSA
Even after long-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) use, intensive telemedicine support can be used to help optimize CPAP adherence in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
CPAP Compliance in OSA and Type 2 Diabetes Lowers Risk for Diabetic Retinopathy
Increased compliance with continuous positive airway pressure therapy may reduce the risk for the development of diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes who have obstructive sleep apnea.
