The data were obtained from human adults, including healthy subjects, subjects with sleep disorders, and subjects under the effect of sleep medication.

Recently, the efficacy of ASV has been discussed for the treatment of central sleep apnea (CSA) and treatment-emergent central sleep apnea (treatment-emergent CSA) where other forms of traditional positive airway pressure (PAP) may be insufficient.
Objectives: To compare the clinical impact of ASV with other forms of PAP in treating patients with treatment-emergent CSA, CSA and CSR.
Objective: To evaluate the perception of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Portuguese patients with narcolepsy, and to compare the results to normative data.
Methods: Fifty-one narcoleptic adults (26M, 25F), aged between 18 and 80 years (mean=43.35, SD=15.
