Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Still Benefit From Suboptimal CPAP Adherence

[D.H.]

To put it more simply "some is better than none."

Ideally, CPAP patients should use the machine every time they sleep and for the entire time. However, this study shows a benefit for even partial compliance. Hopefully, this will make it harder for them to take the machines away from those who don't use it "enough."

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I mean...isn't this super obvious? Of course some treatment is better than no treatment.

Not if your job is to check off compliance boxes on medicare/insurance paperwork.

If you are going to do foolish things part time, When do you start to qualify as a full time fool! I am unclear where to set the Bar! Jim

I'm glad my Mom didn't raise any fools.

Travel might do the trick.
Somewhere far, far away.
This time, really GO--don't just make stuff up.

As a default, one would think that. However, the scientific method requires all hypotheses to be tested. Also, we don't know (and this test did not determine) if using it 50% time you're sleeping is half as good, only a third as good, etc.

Just because it was reposted by Mr Obvious, like most of his posts, that doesn't make them good or wise. His wastebasket needs some DDT! Jim

Ideally.

When it comes to your posts.
I agree.

Does anyone have any common sense anymore?
Again I am thoroughly amazed at the lack of it floating around.
