his study obtained sleep parameters and self-reported sleep status during both dPSG and tPSG. CPAP adherence in patients with OSA could be predicted by examining the changes in various indices with CPAP use. PSG evaluations demonstrated that CPAP adherence can be expected in patients who demonstrated improvements in AHI, sleep architecture, such as stage N1% and N3%, TST, sleep efficiency, and sleep latency with CPAP. These findings were correlated with self-reported sleep improvement. In...

We have evaluated the RWD responses to PAP based on AHI reductions in 195 children with OSA. These analyses allowed us to define individual determinants of pediatric PAP responsiveness in a real-world setting. Our results showed that children have an adequate response to PAP therapy, with a median AHI reduction of 85% compared to baseline PSG results. We have also identified substantial heterogeneity of the PAP responses, with around 30% showing < 75% AHI reductions. Interestingly, we found...

Our findings suggest that changes in sleep-related behaviors between baseline and the end of CBTI may influence rates of medication discontinuation following SMT. While stability of rise time and stability of TIB at the end of CBTI did not predict medication use outcomes, change in  stability did predict outcomes—both with regard to use of BZD-related hypnotics and use of any medication or substance for sleep. Specifically, individuals who increased the stability of their rise time between...
