Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or Positional Therapy Compared to Control for Treatment of  Obstructive Sleep Apnea on the Development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnancy: Protocol for Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or Positional Therapy Compared to Control for Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on the Development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnancy: Protocol for Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Improvements in blood pressure control have been demonstrated in nonpregnant patients with OSA [10,11], and a small benefit in 24-hour diastolic blood pressure in patients using fixed pressure CPAP compared with auto-titrating CPAP has been reported [12]. In pregnancy, CPAP is recommended as the first line of treatment for OSA [13,14], although alternatives to CPAP may be beneficial but require clinical trials to investigate their utility [14].

Assessment of Patient Journey Metrics for Users of a Digital Obstructive Sleep Apnea Program: Single-Arm Feasibility Pilot Study

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder affecting up to 1 billion people worldwide [1]. OSA is associated with many common and costly comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, stroke, asthma, depression, and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions [2]. Untreated OSA is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality and can result in the worsening of comorbid conditions as well as diminished quality of life [2,3].
