dc.description.abstractObjectives: Sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is closely associated with obesity and cardiovascular diseases.OSA disrupts neurocognitive functioning and negatively affects quality of life. Use of a positive airwaypressure (PAP) device remains the gold standard treatment for OSA. We used the Short Form?36 (SF?36)instrument to measure quality?of?life changes in PAP?treated patients in Turkey.Materials and Methods: The present study included 67 (52 male) consecutive OSA patients treated witha PAP device. Each subject underwent overnight full?laboratory polysomnographic examination. The SF?36 scores of patients given a PAP device were measured before they commenced using the device and 6–18months later. Results: Appropriate use of PAP devices improved quality of life as evidenced by improvement on allparameters of the SF?36 instrument quality?of?life scale (P<0.05). Conclusion: We found that PAP therapy significantly improved quality of life. This study is the first inTurkey to use the SF?36 on this subject.en_US
