Background: Regional Centers for Occupational and Environmental Pathologies (CRPPE) are responsible for identifying possible occupational etiologies of pathologies. When an occupational origin is determined, an Initial Medical Certificate (IMC) is given to the patient to allow him to initiate a procedure for recognition as an occupational disease (OD) by his health insurance organization.
Objectives: The main aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of occupational disease claims in patients who received an IMC delivered by the CRPPE of Lyon.
Background: The objective of this prospective study was to assess the effect of CPAP therapy on job productivity and work quality for patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Methods: A convenience sample of patients diagnosed with severe OSA using polysomnography or polygraphy and with a therapeutic indication for CPAP was enrolled in our study. Patients completed two self-administered questionnaires: the first before CPAP therapy and the second during the first 6 months after CPAP treatment.
