Background More information is needed about the effect on mortality of continuous positive
airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), especially in …

Objective There is evidence of a beneficial effect of long-term continuous positive airway
pressure (CPAP) on survival in elderly persons with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) …

Objective Most studies have used cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (CVD) end-
points to measure the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), but pre …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is much more prevalent in older people than in middle-aged
or young populations, and has been associated with cardiovascular disease. Continuous …

Eur J Clin Invest 2012 Abstract Background Although mortality risk associated with
obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) tends to disappear from the age of 50, it has been …

Purpose The associations between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and all-cause and
cardiovascular mortality are well established but are not entirely consistent. To accurately …

Study Objectives: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) improves quality of life in
patients with obstructive sleep apneas. However, the long-term benefit in all-cause mortality …

Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a risk factor for cardiovascular death in middle-
aged subjects, but it is not known whether it is also a risk factor in the elderly. Objectives: To …

The study aim was to compare the mortality risk of men and women diagnosed with
obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and started on treatment with continuous positive airway …

Abstract Study Objectives Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown no reduction in
adverse cardiovascular (CV) events in patients randomized to continuous positive airway …
