Deskripsi
Adult obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associ-ated with various unfavorable outcomes if left untreated, including excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), decreased personal satisfaction, elevated cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and in-creased road traffic accidents (1). Continuous pos-itive airway pressure (CPAP), or an oral appli-ance, can allay obstruction; however, many pa-tients have poor adherence, leaving them with long-term morbidities (2, 3).
