Excerpt

Since its original description in 1981 [1], continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) is a well established effective and evidence-based treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) [2]. However, the determination of optimal CPAP pressure in the laboratory is time-consuming and expensive, contributing to delays in the treatment of this condition. As sleep laboratory availability and expense is an issue of concern, several methods that could shorten long waiting lists and lower costs have been suggested. These are split-night studies [3], auto-CPAP titration [4], home sleep diagnostic studies [5], unattended autotitrating home CPAP studies [6] and more recently CPAP prediction formulas [7‐10]. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
