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.
