TL;DR: In patients with an apnea-hypopnea index of 30 or greater and no subjective daytime sleepiness, continuous positive airway pressure did not modify quality of life, objective sleepiness or vigilance as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The available evidence supports the notion that CPAP is an effective symptomatic treatment for patients with the sleep apneahypopnea syndrome, and a multicenter randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study was designed to evaluate the short-term effects of CPAP on quality of life, objective sleepiness, cognitive function, and arterial blood pressure in nonsleepy patients with a pathologic apnehypopna index.

TL;DR: This study provides strong evidence of the effectiveness of CPAP treatment in improving symptoms and perceived health status in moderate to severe SAHS.

TL;DR: The relief of sleepiness and other SAHS-related clinical symptoms and improvement in perceived health status was much greater in Group 2 receiving CT + CPAP compared with Group 1, only receiving CT.

TL;DR: Autoadjusted titration at home and predicted formula titration with domiciliary adjustment can replace standard titration in sleep apnea patients, which could lead to considerable savings in cost and to significant reductions in the waiting list.
