- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) negatively impacts patients' quality of life (QOL), but using CPAP therapy for three months can lead to significant improvements.
- A study with 79 participants showed notable enhancement in all domains of the Calgary Sleep Apnea Quality of Life Index (SAQLI) from baseline to three months post-therapy, indicating effective patient recovery.
- Overall findings suggest that CPAP therapy is beneficial in improving both physical and emotional functioning in OSA patients, as evidenced by increased SAQLI scores post-treatment.
