Studies in all languages were considered which either investigated the association between obstructive sleep apnoea in adults and key health outcomes or evaluated the effectiveness of treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea with continuous positive airways pressure in adults.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Main outcome measures:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Mortality, systematic hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, ischaemic heart disease, left ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension, stroke, vehicle accidents, measures of daytime sleepiness, and quality of life.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    54 epidemiological studies examined the association between sleep apnoea and health related outcomes. Most were poorly designed and only weak or contradictory evidence was found of an association with cardiac arrhythmias, ischaemic heart disease, cardiac failure, systemic or pulmonary hypertension, and stroke. Evidence of a link with sleepiness and road traffic accidents was stronger but inconclusive. Only one small randomised controlled trial evaluated continuous positive airways pressure. Five non-randomised controlled trials and 38 uncontrolled trials were identified. Small changes in objectively measured daytime sleepiness were consistently found, but improvements in morbidity, mortality, and quality of life indicators were not adequately assessed.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The relevance of sleep apnoea to public health has been exaggerated. The effectiveness of continuous positive airways pressure in improving health outcomes has been poorly evaluated. There is enough evidence suggesting benefit in reducing daytime sleepiness in some patients to warrant large randomised placebo controlled trials of continuous positive airways pressure versus an effective weight reduction programme and other interventions.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:boxed-text position=\"float\">\n                      <jats:sec>\n                        <jats:title>Key messages<\/jats:title>\n                        <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                          <jats:list-item>\n                            <jats:p>Obstructive sleep apnoea is claimed to be an important cause of premature death and disability<\/jats:p>\n                          <\/jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:list-item>\n                            <jats:p>There is increasing pressure to provide sleep services for the treatment of patients with sleep apnoea<\/jats:p>\n                          <\/jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:list-item>\n                            <jats:p>Epidemiological evidence suggests that sleep apnoea causes daytime sleepiness and possibly vehicle accidents<\/jats:p>\n                          <\/jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:list-item>\n                            <jats:p>Evidence for a causal association between sleep apnoea and other adverse health outcomes is weak<\/jats:p>\n                          <\/jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:list-item>\n                            <jats:p>There is a paucity of robust evidence for the clinical and cost effectiveness of continuous positive airways pressure in the treatment of most patients with sleep apnoea<\/jats:p>\n                          <\/jats:list-item>\n                        <\/jats:list>\n                      <\/jats:sec>\n                    <\/jats:boxed-text>\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.314.7084.851","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,31]],"date-time":"2011-10-31T17:01:09Z","timestamp":1320080469000},"page":"851","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":284,"title":["Health effects of obstructive sleep apnoea and the effectiveness of continuous positive airways pressure: a systematic review of the research evidence"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"314","author":[{"given":"John","family":"Wright","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachel","family":"Johns","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ian","family":"Watt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arabella","family":"Melville","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Trevor","family":"Sheldon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1997,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025122313364474000_314.7084.851.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"653","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(94)92088-5","article-title":"Pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnoea\/hypopnoea syndrome.","volume":"344","author":"Douglas","year":"1994","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"2025122313364474000_314.7084.851.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.309.6946.35","article-title":"Sleep studies of respiratory function and home respiratory support.","volume":"309","author":"Simonds","year":"1994","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"2025122313364474000_314.7084.851.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199304293281704"},{"key":"2025122313364474000_314.7084.851.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"240","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2869.1992.tb00045.x","article-title":"Epidemiology of snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea in a Danish population, age 30-60.","volume":"1","author":"Jennum","year":"1992","journal-title":"J Sleep Res"},{"key":"2025122313364474000_314.7084.851.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1271","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199304293281712","article-title":"Sleep apnea-a major public health problem.","volume":"328","author":"Phillipson","year":"1993","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"2025122313364474000_314.7084.851.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199601113340207"},{"key":"2025122313364474000_314.7084.851.7","unstructured":"Royal College of Physicians .Sleep apnoea and related conditions.
