Outcome of CPAP Titration for Moderate-to-Severe OSA Under Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy: A Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The titration pressure of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is important in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study aimed to understand the difference between drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE)-guided CPAP titration and conventional sleep center (CSC) CPAP titration in patients with OSA.

Methods

In this randomized, controlled, and single-blind crossover trial, we compared the effects of 1-month CPAP treatment in patients with OSA with either DISE-guided CPAP titration or CSC CPAP titration. Twenty-four patients with OSA were recruited for the study. All patients underwent polysomnography, DISE-guided CPAP titration, and accommodation. Initially, patients were randomly assigned to receive either DISE-guided CPAP titration or CSC CPAP treat
