Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Still Benefit From Suboptimal CPAP Adherence

Post by D.H. » Wed Jan 29, 2020 12:49 pm

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.

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.

Somebody needs a hobby.
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
