Effects of continuous positive airway pressure on depression, anxiety and quality of life in obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome patients

CONCLUSIONS: These results attest to the importance of the frequency of anxio-depressive disorders as well as an altered QOL in patients with OSAHS. CPAP treatment was shown to be effective in improving these parameters, but this efficacy was partial. Specialized care may be needed in cases of residual anxio-depressive symptoms.PMID:34311963 | DOI:10.1016/j.encep.2021.04.011
