[Commencement of and adherence to CPAP treatment of patients with sleep-disordered breathing].
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the changes in nasal CPAP treatment and adherence in patients with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Information from the clinic database of 4,385 patients commencing CPAP treatment during 2002-2009.
RESULTS: Average CPAP adherence was 74%. In mild SDB over 60% were adherent whereas in severe SDB 18% did not accept the treatment. Low hours of CPAP use right after commencing the treatment indicated poor long-term adherence.
CONCLUSIONS: In the 2000s the number of patients starting CPAP treatment increased, but the selection of patients did not change much. Overall CPAP adherence was good.
