Transition from APAP to CPAP may be a cost-effective health intervention in OSA patients
ABSTRACT Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder associated with a significant economic burden. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and auto-titrating positive airway pressure (APAP) are recognized therapeutic options in patients with OSA, although treatment costs are h...
