We have shown that the effects of CPAP treatment on cardiovascular outcomes in OSA vary between individuals (heterogeneity of treatment effects [HTE]). In this study, we evaluate HTE on vascular inflammation in OSA patients undergoing CPAP therapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We recruited adults with moderate-to-severe OSA (respiratory disturbance index, RDI\u2009\u226515) who underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography\/magnetic resonance imaging at baseline and after 3\u2009months of CPAP. We measured vascular inflammation in the carotid arteries and aorta, using standardized uptake values (SUVs). Carotid SUVmax was the primary outcome. We used multivariable linear regression and linear mixed-effects models to evaluate associations between OSA metrics and vascular inflammation at baseline and after CPAP. We explored HTE using K-means clustering to identify distinct clusters based on changes in carotid vascular inflammation after CPAP treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>One hundred eighty patients completed baseline imaging, and 135 returned for follow-up. OSA severity and hypoxic burden were significantly associated with vascular inflammation, though this association was attenuated after adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors. There were no significant changes in vascular inflammation after CPAP. However, significant HTE was observed, with 3 distinct clusters of patients: those showing a decrease in carotid vascular inflammation (-16.6% [95% CI, -19.8% to -13.3%]), an increase (+24.2% [95% CI, 19.3%-29.2%]), or no significant change (-1.18% [95% CI, -3.7% to 1.4%]) in inflammation post-CPAP. Patients with no change or an increase in vascular inflammation post-CPAP were more likely to have a history of smoking (P\u2009=\u2009.009) and a higher baseline delta heart rate (P\u2009=\u2009.012) compared to those with a decrease in vascular inflammation post-CPAP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although CPAP therapy did not uniformly reduce vascular inflammation in OSA patients, there was substantial heterogeneity in treatment responses across participant clusters.
