Abstract
In this cohort study, CPAP adherence was significantly higher with a sleep specialist consultation prior to the diagnostic PSG. In addition, African American race was associated with worse adherence to therapy. A better understanding of predictors of CPAP adherence may be useful in identifying patients who may benefit from a sleep specialist consultation prior to ordering a diagnostic PSG.
