To assess, in a large cohort of patients with obstructive sleep apnea, the factors that are independently associated with positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) and exclusive POSA (e-POSA) and determine their prevalence. The secondary objective was to evaluate the outcome of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy for patients with POSA and e-POSA.
