Introduction We performed a meta-analysis on whether heated humidification during positive
airway pressure (PAP) could improve compliance and subjective daytime sleepiness in …

BACKGROUND: The addition of heated humidification to CPAP has been shown to improve
nasal adverse effects in subjects with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, current data …

Objective Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) persists in some patients with obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA) despite continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. This …

Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the treatment of choice for patients with moderate-to-
severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that …

Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) affects an estimated 2–4% of the
middle aged population. Meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials have shown that the …

Introduction: The purpose of this systematic review is to provide supporting evidence for the
clinical practice guideline for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults using …

Objectives Adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains an issue, as
adverse effects (AE) such as rhinitis, dry/congested nose, dry mouth or throat are commonly …

Purpose Upper airway symptom associated with continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP) treatment is an important factor influencing CPAP adherence. There are conflicting …

Background Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first-line therapy for
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but patient compliance is a major barrier to long-term …

Purpose This study was made to evaluate the effect of automatic continuous positive airway
pressure (auto-CPAP) versus fixed continuous positive airway pressure (fixed CPAP) in …
