Purpose: Aerophagia occurring during continuous positive airway pressure (C-aerophagia in CPAP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) disturbs CPAP therapy. However, the diagnostic criteria and exact prevalence of C-aerophagia are not well documented; therefore, this study aimed to evaluate them.
Methods: Newly developed criteria (flatulence, eructation, and abdominal bloating, with quantitative evaluation of these symptoms and a clear timing of onset) were used to diagnose C-aerophagia.

Background: Issues with tolerability and side effects can decrease continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device usage and the benefits of therapy. Different positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy modes providing expiratory pressure relief or using a different pressure during inspiration expiration (bilevel PAP) may alleviate some of these issues. This multicenter, prospective study evaluated the effects of switching from CPAP to bilevel PAP (VAuto mode) on respiratory parameters, device usage, side effects and patient-reported outcomes in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
