Description
Summary:The physiological traits and adherence to patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is examined. The treatment in OSA patients with stroke may improve neurological recovery. However, trials of OSA treatment are limited by decreased adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Psychosocial factors in nonstroke patients includes sleepiness and comorbidities predict adherence. Information about recent reports also indicate that low arousal threshold, a physiologic trait of OSA, is linked with reduced rates in the use of regular CPAP. A hypothesis showed that physiologic OSA traits are related with CPAP adherence and improve models of adherence based on established factors such as demographic, social, comorbidities and polysomnographic metrics. An overview on the methods of performance for a secondary data analysis of a randomized controlled trial among patients with acute stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), is also provided.
