This lecture summarizes existing evidence from high quality clinical trials on humans using a systematic review & network meta-analysis framework to assess the comparative effectiveness of the various treatment approaches of OSA.
Learning Objectives:
Define the most effective treatment for OSA.
Recognize the treatment effects and adverse effects that can be expected with each treatment alternative for OSA.
Implement patient-/, appliance-/, or technique-related factors associated with the success of OSA treatment in individualized clinical decision-making.
