Mask Refills as a Measure of PAP Adherence

Conclusions:In a retrospective cohort of veterans with OSA, first week PAP use was a strong predictor of 90-day use. Use of autonomously transmitted modem data avoided potential selection bias in adherence estimates. Mask refills in the first month were associated with less 90-day PAP use, whereas more mask refills after 30 days were associated with greater PAP use.Citation:Scharf MT, Keenan BT, Pack AI, Kuna ST.
