In some patients, sleepiness persists despite CPAP treatment. We retrospectively analyzed data on subjective residual EDS, assessed as an Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (ESS) &amp;gt;10, in patients from the European Sleep Apnea Database (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 4,853, mean age \u00b1 SD 54.8 \u00b1 11.8 years, 26.1% females), at baseline and at the first visit (median follow-up: 5 months, interquartile range 3\u201313). An ESS &amp;gt; 10 occurred in 56% of patients at baseline and in 28.2% of patients at follow-up. Residual EDS was analyzed in 2,190 patients (age: 55.1 \u00b1 12.0 years, 26.1% females) with sleep monitoring data (median follow-up: 3 months, interquartile range 1\u201315). Sleep studies during CPAP use were obtained in 58% of these patients; EDS was reported by 47.2% of patients at baseline and by 30.3% at follow-up. Residual OSA, defined as an apnea\u2013hypopnea index &amp;gt;10\/h, and insufficient CPAP adherence, defined as nightly use &amp;lt;4 h, occurred with similar frequency in patients with and without EDS at follow-up. Prevalence of residual EDS was highest (40%) in patients with a first follow-up visit at 0\u20133 months, then it was 13\u201319% in patients with a first follow-up visit after 4 months to 2 years. The change in ESS (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 2,190) was weakly correlated with CPAP use (R\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = 0.023,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.0001). Logistic regression showed that an ESS score &amp;gt;10 at the first follow-up visit was associated directly with ESS at baseline and inversely with duration of follow-up, and CPAP use (R\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    of the model: 0.417). EDS showed heterogeneity in different European countries both at baseline and at the first follow-up visit, suggesting modulation by cultural and lifestyle factors. In conclusion, residual EDS in CPAP-treated OSA occurred in approximately one in four patients at follow-up; its prevalence was highest (40%) in the first 3 months of treatment and subsequently decreased. The finding of residual EDS in a significant percentage of optimally treated OSA patients suggests that wake-promoting agents may be useful, but their indication should be evaluated after at least 3 months of treatment.\n
