Abstract
Singaporean patients who accept CPAP therapy after an initial 1-month CPAP trial will generally be adherent to CPAP therapy. Initial patterns of CPAP usage are predictive of long term CPAP adherence. However, there is a high rate of CPAP treatment rejection both at the time of diagnosis and after the CPAP trial. Upper airway surgery in selected patients may improve CPAP adherence.
