Association of Night-to-Night Adherence of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure With Day-to-Day Morning Home Blood Pressure and Its Seasonal Variation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

ABSTRACT: Background The aim of this study was to investigate the association between night-to-night adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy and both home blood pressure (BP) level on the following day and seasonal variation in home BP in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Methods and Results We analyzed 105 participants who had been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (average apnea-hypopnea index, 49.7±18.4 per hour) and who were already receiving CPAP therapy. Home BP (twice every morning and evening) and CPAP adherence data were automatically transmitted to a server for 1 year. A mixed-effects model for repeated measures analysis was used to examine associations of night-to-night good CPAP adherence with day-to-day home BP within the same patient after adjusting fo
