Dose‐dependent effects of continuous positive airway pressure for sleep apnea on weight or metabolic function: Individual patient‐level clinical trial meta‐analysis

Summary Therapeutic‐continuous positive airway pressure seems to increase weight compared with placebo‐ continuous positive airway pressure . It is not known whether weight gain with therapeutic‐ continuous positive airway pressure dose is dependent or whether it causes metabolic dysfunction. Data synthesis of three randomised placebo‐ continuous positive airway pressure ‐controlled trials (2–3 months) was performed to test whether there is a...
