We have performed a retrospective study in which we analyzed the different variables of 600 patients who have been subjected of a polygraphy diagnostic test. The eight apnea explanatory variables used in the study are: BMI, Epworth Scale, Snoring, Objectified Apnea pauses, Alcohol, Associated Othorhinolaryngology Pathologies, Gender and Age.

OSA PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) represents a perioperative risk. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy has demonstrated its ability to reduce this risk. However, many patients don't adhere to this treatment. Our study was designed to identify patients with poor adherence to CPAP therapy. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Eric Deflandre, Stephanie Degey, Vincent Bonhomme, Anne-Francoise Donneau, Robert Poirrier, Jean-Francois Brichant, Pol HansNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
