Association of Positive Airway Pressure With Cardiovascular Events and Death in Adults With Sleep Apnea. A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. JAMA. 2017;318(2):156-166. doi:10.1001/jama.2017.7967

Conclusions and Relevance: The use of PAP, compared with no treatment or sham, was not associated with reduced risks of cardiovascular outcomes or death for patients with sleep apnea. Although there are other benefits of treatment with PAP for sleep apnea, these findings do not support treatment with PAP with a goal of prevention of these outcomes.
