Abstract:
Differences in daytime symptoms, insomnia-related complaints, and atypical presentations may contribute to delayed diagnosis in women. Whether gender differences could influence treatment decisions and outcomes in OSA, including variations in treatment acceptance, adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, patient preferences, and long-term therapeutic responses has not been widely reported. Preliminary data from an ongoing study “Comparison of Male and Female Obstructive Sleep apnea Characteristics in Asia: Multiregional Cohort Study” will be presented.
