摘要: Abstract Objective To assess the effects of 3months optimal CPAP treatment on auditory event related potentials (AERP) in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) compared healthy controls. Methods Auditory odd-ball N1, P2, N2 and P3 AERP components were assessed 9 OSA subjects controls at baseline evaluation ∼3months follow-up both groups, treated continuous positive air-way pressure (CPAP) during this period. Results Severe showed significantly delayed, latencies, different P2 amplitudes to (group effect, all p Conclusions This study demonstrates that responses show minimal or no improvement remain abnormal following treatment. Significance Persistent cortical sensory processing abnormalities despite may have implications for daytime neurobehavioral performance safety patients. help identify residual deficits risks.
