Any studies confirming cpap use reduces risk

Post by track » Thu Mar 05, 2009 9:29 pm

There seems to be lots of information going around that sleep apnea causes this or that and puts a person at risk for stroke, etc. I don't know how dependable all the studies are on the subject but I was wondering if there are any solid studies that show that have shown that using cpap has been proven to reduce all risk that have been linked to sleep apnea.
Are there any documented cases...where cause of death has been proven to be sleep apnea. If so please post. I can't imagine how that could be proven...but that's why I asked.
