Recruitment into randomized studies appeared particularly challenging; investigators reported screening hundreds of potential participants but enrolling relatively low percentages. Of participants who were considered for inclusion into an RCT, 70% had at least one exclusionary criteria. 20–22, 26, 27 When approached, 55% of patients without an exclusionary criteria refused to participate. 20–22, 26, 27 Of the participants randomized to CPAP intervention, for which adherence data were available (N= 165), 48% of those assigned to CPAP were adherent at the last assessment point (online-only Data Supplement Tables II and III).Randomized studies ranged from 1 to 3 months in duration and the total percentage of participants who underwent screening and were available for follow-up was typically 4% to 13%. 20–24, 26 Of the 3473 participants screened in the RCT studies, only 2.3% were CPAP-adherent at the last assessment point (Figure). The Figure illustrates the difficulty associated with isolating a patient population that is eligible, willing to participate in a study, and compliant with the rigors of this type of treatment study.
