Poor compliance with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been identified as a significant obstacle in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. While previous studies have focused on diagnostic screening variables, side effects, health beliefs, and measures of disease severity, investigators have generally ignored sleep parameters assessed during CPAP titration as predictors of compliance. As the titration night represents patients' initial exposure to nocturnal CPAP treatment, we hypothesized that nocturnal polysomnographic (PSG) variables, representing improved sleep at this time, would predict higher subsequent compliance.
