Tirzepatide Versus Positive Airway Pressure for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea: A Randomised Comparative Effectiveness Trial

Краткое описание

When used, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition that is mainly caused by overweight and obesity. However, CPAP is plagued by poor adherence and high rates of discontinued use leaving most patients undertreated and at risk of serious health complications. This study aims to test whether new effective weight loss pharmacotherapy is superior to CPAP for alleviating OSA and improving health outcomes.
