Short- and long-term continuous positive airway pressure usage in the post-stroke population with obstructive sleep apnea.

CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that the long-term usage of CPAP therapy is possible with most of the attrition occurring in the first 3 months. Upfront healthcare resource allocation to CPAP initiation and usage in this population may improve longer-term usage. PMID: 30820850 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
