According to data presented at SLEEP 2015, children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) that adhered to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy demonstrated improvements in quality of life (QoL).
Treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has shown incremental improvement in physical activity (PA) and sleep quality in as early three months, according to data presented at SLEEP 2015.
Serum glucose is not a reliable biomarker for predicting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or whether treatment is effective with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a pilot study of biomarkers presented at SLEEP 2015 concluded.
In children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), pressure delivered by auto-adjusting CPAP (APAP) is significantly lower than that determined to be the optimal pressure derived from CPAP titration polysomnogram (PSG), results of a study presented at SLEEP 2015 have found.
Positive airway pressure (PAP) improved blood pressure and sleep-related symptoms in an unselected clinical population of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but did not improve glycemic control, according to data presented at SLEEP 2015.
An increase in body mass index (BMI) was observed following initiation of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, so implementation of nutritional and exercise interventions is recommended, according to data reported at SLEEP 2015
In patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, supervised exercise training has “important therapeutic benefits” when added to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), according to results of a prospective randomized trial reported at SLEEP 2015.
Depression and anxiety do not appear to influence continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) compliance in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), reported a study presented at SLEEP 2015.
Improvement in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) did not differ between older and younger patients treated with continuous airway positive pressure (CPAP) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), investigators at SLEEP 2015 concluded.
Older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have an adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) that is “comparable to that of reported values in other adult populations,” researchers presented at SLEEP 2015.
