Why the study?
Does CPAP improve clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness compared to no treatment?
Does CPAP improve clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness compared to no treatment?
Modeling suggests CPAP is clinically and cost-effective compared to no treatment after at least 2 years from a UK NHS perspective.
Supports CPAP consideration after ≥2 years in UK settings; modeling leaves open prospective trial confirmation.
Within the limitations of the model, CPAP was found to be clinically more effective than no treatment and, from the perspective of the UK's NHS, a cost-effective strategy after a minimum of 2 years of treatment.
