Abstract:ObjectiveThere are disparities between Black and White patients in the utilization of positive airway pressure (PAP) alternatives for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Given low utilization rates among Black patients, there is limited knowledge of PAP alternative outcomes in this group.

Herein, we examined differences in PAP requirements between Black and White patients in a large clinical sample.St… Show more
