摘要
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder and characterized by recurrent collapse of the upper airway,causes repeated arousals from sleep, decreased oxygen saturation of the blood, and excessive daytime sleepiness.Patients with OSA are at increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cognitive impairment, and depression.1,2 Currently, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) had been identified as the standard treatment for patients with OSA. CPAP shows significant improvements in objective and subjective sleepiness and several quality3 of life assessments, cognitive function and depression.3 However,reports of non-adherence to CPAP therapy range from 29% to 83%, and one of the reasons of non-adherence is the comorbidity of depression.4关键词
