Abstrakt: The article discusses how treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with stroke may improve neurological recovery, while trials of OSA treatment are limited by reduced adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). It mentions that among nonstroke patients, psychosocial factors, symptoms, and comorbidities predict adherence. Recent reports also indicate that low arousal threshold, a physiologic trait of OSA, is associated with reduced rates of regular CPAP use.
