Popis:	Introduction: Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the most effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) but adherence is poor. The Sleep-disordered breathing clinic of Fundación Neumológica Colombiana (FNC) has a standardized adaptation session (SAS) aimed at patients with difficulties in using PAP devices. Objective: To evaluate the impact of a SAS in short-term adherence to PAP therapy in patients with OSA and to determine sex differences. Materials and methods: Before-after single cohort study conducted in 40 people aged ≥ 18 years with an AHI ≥ 15/hour and treated at the FNC, Bogotá D.C. (Colombia) between 2015 and 2017, and who attended a SAS due to poor adherence to PAP therapy (defined as 4 hours were recorded before and after the intervention to evaluate changes in patients’ adherence. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. The paired samples t-test was used for the comparison of variables before and after the intervention. Results: A significant increase was observed in the PAP device use (1.8 hours, 95%CI: 1.3-2.3; p4 hours (35.6%, 95%CI: 26.0-45.3; p
