OSAS: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Statistically significant
results shown in bold (p<0.05)
Comparisons of initial and 1-year IELT and AIPE scores within and
between the groups are shown in Table 3. Initial IELT and AIPE scores
were significantly higher in the control group compared with the OSAS
groups. Compared to initial (pre-treatment) values, both scores improved
significantly in both OSAS groups after 1 year of CPAP therapy.
