Abstract

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the treatment of choice for obstructive sleep apnea; however, some people have residual respiratory events or require significantly higher CPAP pressure while on therapy. Our objective was to develop predictive models for CPAP outcomes and assess whether the inclusion of physiological traits enhances prediction.
