Article Synopsis
- - Maternal obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea (OSAH) is linked to pregnancy-related high blood pressure, and the study aimed to evaluate how well women with this condition could be recruited for a trial and adhere to positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment.
- - Out of 105 women screened, 48 met the criteria for OSAH and were split into two groups: one received PAP therapy and the other used nasal dilator strips as a control, with adherence monitored and multiple health outcomes assessed.
- - Results showed that both groups faced challenges in completion due to urgent deliveries or tolerability issues, but overall blood pressure control was achieved, with no significant differences in health outcomes between the two treatment groups. *

Maternal obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea (OSAH) is associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Attenuation of the normal nocturnal blood pressure (BP) decline (non-dipping) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. OSAH is associated with nocturnal non-dipping in the general population, but this has not been studied in pregnancy.
