Excerpt

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common, but underdiagnosed, public health problem that predisposes the patient to higher cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) has been established as a standard treatment for OSA for nearly three decades, whereas oral appliances (i.e., mandibular repositioning splint and tongue retaining device) have been prescribed for patients with mild to moderate OSA and/or who have failed to respond to nCPAP [1‐3]. …

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.
