Study Description
Brief Summary
The investigators planned to investigate the effect of close monitoring on compliance and the factors affecting compliance among patients receiving PAP treatment due to OSA.This study was a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled study approved by the hospital's ethics committee.One hundred twenty-eight patients were randomized as group one or two as group 1 is the study and group 2 is the control group. The first group was called by phone on the 15th day to ask if there were any complaints or problems with the device. Sequentially, they were called for controls at the end of the first, third, and sixth months.
The second group was accepted as the control group, following our clinic's standard procedure in the first and sixth months. The patients who came to the control were asked if there were any problems with the device and any difficulties in use, and they were again informed about the devices and masks.
