Analyzing data from over 1 million sleep apnea patients worldwide, the study provides the strongest evidence to date that CPAP therapy not only alleviates OSA symptoms but can also prolong life.<\/p>\n<p>OSA affects over one billion people worldwide,<sup>1<\/sup> with over 80% of cases undiagnosed and untreated.<sup>2<\/sup> This chronic sleep-related breathing disorder can impair daily functioning and has been associated with serious health conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.<sup>3<\/sup> The study reinforces that untreated OSA is a major but modifiable risk factor for both all-cause and cardiovascular-related death, highlighting the importance of consistent CPAP use. As the gold standard for OSA treatment, CPAP therapy is widely recognized for its effectiveness. When used correctly, it works overnight and only requires air; no drugs, surgery, or invasive procedures.<\/p>\n<p>The study, led by global experts in sleep and respiratory medicine and supported by Resmed, found that people with OSA who use CPAP therapy have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10pt;\">A 37% lower risk of dying from any cause compared to those with OSA who do not use CPAP.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10pt;\">A 55% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, reinforcing CPAP\u2019s supportive benefits for heart health in people living with OSA.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10pt;\">A dose-response relationship, meaning that the more consistently CPAP is used, the greater the survival benefits for people living with OSA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cFor people with OSA, using CPAP versus not using CPAP can literally be a matter of life or death,\u201d said <strong>Carlos Nunez<\/strong>, M.D., Resmed\u2019s Chief Medical Officer. \u201cDecades of research have shown CPAP can improve quality of life, and this study now provides the most comprehensive evidence yet that CPAP also prolongs lives for people living with OSA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This meta-analysis is the largest of its kind to date, pooling data from over 1 million OSA patients across 30 studies, including 10 <strong>randomized controlled trials (RCTs)<\/strong> and 20 <strong>real-world evidence studies (RWEs)<\/strong>. Researchers analyzed long-term outcomes over the average follow-up period of nearly five years, testing the hypothesis that CPAP therapy reduces both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in OSA patients.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The results of the study strongly suggest that CPAP therapy is a life-saving intervention for people with OSA,\u201d said <strong>Atul Malhotra<\/strong>, M.D, senior author of the study, Research Chief of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Pulmonologist at UC San Diego Health. \u201cIt\u2019s not only about sleep apnea treatment but also about supporting heart health and extending life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese findings should serve as a wake-up call,\u201d added<strong> Jean-Louis P\u00e9pin<\/strong>, study co-author, Professor of Clinical Physiology at Grenoble University Hospital and Director of the HP2 Laboratory INSERM U1300. \u201cEvery additional hour of CPAP treatment translates to improved chance of survival for people living with OSA. Patients who stay on CPAP therapy aren\u2019t just breathing easier at night; they\u2019re potentially adding years to their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To read the full study, see the publication in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=ucZGbFPzsiKHfQpMg_aQZMMUWHASdTpJgSBPTxDYNx1fQF3pvfRYRBX2wVvsKMmiOUf53RwsheXnK7tnLNx2phO0jUfw4LhjcFTFQG5-tn-Wvmr2_LNtvyS64wX0Y6PPSpF9hqXtW8NU8uKfjMsMTazuWbD20BnqW_URjltHqvGTZ7Id-U1a5Q2iCVFBOt4W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>The Lancet Respiratory Medicine<\/u><\/a>.<br \/>\nTo learn more about how life-changing CPAP therapy can be, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=rL_30KUHI1BRLdnn39OnPUrOYoXyhVW718-HFszE5Rmy5WYsBR9dO3zdIhIXBywk10se0FJ7Wlx8R9-NLgzYuyblMUstFDsMycaLYHo8iyS_Iaq_pSvvTNbhaHKY78mrvO4lu3K2KSfrE8xmhaDBcNqr4qAQzPjnP20Q7Fh97iDZh2gkl4yhq-DCUhynj-Al\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>www.resmed.com\/video-story-gallery<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Study authors: Adam V.
