Table 2.
Clinical procedure outcomes by treatment group.
| Group A (n = 68) | Group B (n = 70) | P | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Percent APAP usage (%), mean (SD) | 78.4 (25.8) | 67.8 (33.6) | .04* |
| APAP usage over 30 d (d), mean (SD) | 27.0 (5.6) | 24.0 (8.6) | .01* |
| APAP usage/day/days used (h), mean (SD) | 5.9 (1.7) | 5.6 (2.2) | .49 |
| APAP usage ≥ 4 h/d (d), mean (SD) | 23.5 (7.7) | 20.4 (10.1) | .04* |
| APAP interface air leak (L/min), mean (SD) | 14.9 (11.1) | 21.1 (20.1) | .03* |
| APAP pressure (cm H2O), mean (SD) | 11.7 (2.6) | 11.9 (3.1) | .68 |
| ≥70% APAP adherence (%) | 54 (79) | 47 (67) | .10 |
Side-by-side comparison of clinical procedure outcomes between the two groups. *Significant difference exists between groups. APAP = automatic positive airway pressure, SD = standard deviation.
