CPAP Linked to Living Longer, Meta-Analysis Finds

A large meta-analysis on the long-term benefits of CPAP therapy, published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, found that in people with sleep apnea, CPAP therapy lowered the overall chance of dying by 37% and the chance of heart-related death by 55%.


Key Takeaways:

  • The meta-analysis reviewed data from over 1 million patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), compiling findings from 30 studies, including 10 randomized controlled trials and 20 real-world studies.
  • Greater consistency and longer duration of nightly CPAP use are directly correlated with increased survival benefits.
  • These findings provide clinicians concrete evidence to motivate patients to start CPAP therapy and to encourage existing users to increase nightly usage.
