Association between continuous positive airway pressure usage and workforce attachment in obstructive sleep apnea
Higher level of education was associated with CPAP usage, whereas workforce detachment before OSA diagnosis was associated with reduced CPAP usage. Among women employed when diagnosed, unemployment three years after diagnosis was associated with CPAP non-usage. The results highlight the interplay between OSA, workforce attachment and CPAP. Future studies should focus on the impact of CPAP use and adherence on employment participation.
