Nearly 40% of patients with moderate to severe OSA did not accept CPAP treatment, and one-third of those CPAP acceptors had poor adherence to CPAP treatment. Improvement in disease awareness, comfortable titration experience, short-term home CPAP trial may be of help to increase CPAP acceptance and early experience with CPAP is important for long-term adherence. The differences in predicting factors for CPAP acceptance and adherence highlight the importance of focusing on specific aspects during the whole process management of OSA.
