Association of Positive Airway Pressure Use With Acute Care Utilization and Costs

Conclusions:PAP usage was linearly associated with reduced number of inpatient and overall acute care visits, and lower likelihood of having positive costs from these visits. PAP usage was also associated with less emergency department visits and inpatient stays when comparing adherent patients to less adherent patients.Citation:Kirsch DB, Yang H, Maslow AL, Stolzenbach M, McCall A.
