Abstract

CPAP-treated patients had a lower mortality rate than control subjects. This relationship was driven by cancer-related, but not cardiovascular-related, deaths. Results suggest a role for sex when prescribing CPAP, especially considering respiratory-related deaths, and foster a debate on the relationship between OSA and cardiovascular outcomes.
