持续气道正压通气（CPAP）治疗睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征（SAHS）患者的益处记录不多，患者使用CPAP的次数少于医生建议。为了建立患者对CPAP益处的感知，并确定CPAP使用的决定因素，204名CPAP使用者完成了一份问卷，内容涉及CPAP治疗的使用、CPAP前后的嗜睡和道路交通事故率、治疗后日间功能和夜间症状的感知变化以及CPAP的问题。从这些领域的利益的变量进行了检查，减少通过主成分分析和相关性，以评估这些和多导睡眠图的疾病严重程度的措施之间的关联。自我报告的CPAP使用平均为5.8+/-SD每晚2小时。CPAP显著降低了由埃普沃思嗜睡量表评定的主观嗜睡和道路交通事故发生率（p
The benefits of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in patients with the sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) are poorly documented and patients use CPAP less than physicians recommend. To establish patients' perceptions of benefit from CPAP and to identify determinants of CPAP use, 204 CPAP users completed a questionnaire relating to use of CPAP therapy, sleepiness, and road traffic incident rate before and after CPAP, perceived change in daytime function and nocturnal symptoms with treatment, and problems with CPAP. Variables from these domains of interest were examined, reduced through principal components analysis and correlated to assess associations between these and polysomnographic measures of illness severity. Self-reported CPAP use averaged 5.8+/-SD 2 h a night. Subjective sleepiness rated by the Epworth sleepiness scale and road traffic incident rate were significantly reduced by CPAP (p
