Factors predictive of extensive use of CPAP treatment in obstructive sleep apnoea
Aim In patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), the benefits of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy are increased for every additional hour of daily CPAP usage. However, the data of predictors of extensive usage is scarce, if any. Therefore, we evaluated potential predictors affe...

Summary: | Aim
In patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), the benefits of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy are increased for every additional hour of daily CPAP usage. However, the data of predictors of extensive usage is scarce, if any. Therefore, we evaluated potential predictors affecting extensive treatment usage.
Methods
In this retrospective study, we compiled an institutional cohort of consecutive patients diagnosed with who started CPAP therapy 1999–2022 and were included in a wireless telemonitoring system in May 2022 (
N
= 14,394). Patients using CPAP device ≥ 9 h/d were stratified into a younger ( |
