Impact of a multidisciplinary sleep apnea management group clinic on positive airway pressure adherence and patient-reported outcomes: a randomized controlled trial
The SAM clinic demonstrated trends toward improved PAP adherence and PROs compared to usual care, though differences were not statistically significant, likely reflecting the study's small sample size and other methodological constraints, larger, adequately powered studies are needed to confirm these findings and further explore the impact of SAM clinics on PAP adherence and patient outcomes.
