In patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) is associated with a reduction in cardiovascular mortality to levels similar to patients without OSA (SOR: B, meta-analysis of cohort studies). Furthermore, CPAP treatment is associated with fewer ...
