Highlights from
SLEEP 2025
We had a great time at SLEEP 2025 sharing our newest solutions to help your patients get started — and stay engaged — with PAP therapy, while also boosting operational efficiency.
CPAP therapy can save lives for those living with sleep apnea
A groundbreaking study was presented at SLEEP 2025 and published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal, showing that CPAP therapy isn’t just good for health — it can prolong the lives of those living with sleep apnea.1
Analyzing data from over one million patients worldwide, the study found:1
- People with OSA who use CPAP had a 37% lower risk of death from any cause
- For people with OSA, CPAP reduced the risk for cardiovascular-related death by 55%
- The more consistently CPAP is used, the greater the survival benefit for people with OSA
This research underscores the life-changing and life-extending impact of the therapy we support every day at Resmed.
Abstracts presented at
SLEEP 2025:
The Resmed Health Research team presented nine abstracts at SLEEP 2025, sharing significant contributions to the sleep and respiratory care fields through health economic outcomes research, person-centered research, real-world evidence and clinical research. Key highlights include:
- Use of PAP lowers risk of cardiovascular related events: Patients who are consistently using PAP therapy for two years have a 22% lower risk of having a serious cardiovascular-related event than patients who are not using their PAP device. View Abstract
- Gender disparity in growing OSA prevalence: A disproportionately growing burden of OSA is estimated among females compared to males. View Abstract
- Use of PAP improves quality of life: Patients with OSA and on PAP therapy reported significant, perceived improvements in related co-morbidities, symptoms, and quality of life following PAP initiation — and many of these benefits are realised within 90 days and persist/improve over time. View Abstract
- Role of the primary care physician in sleep care: This study highlights three areas where PCPs can enhance their support of patients with OSA — PCP awareness around diversity of OSA symptoms (including gender-specific symptoms), care coordination, and patient-centered support. View Abstract
Additional evidence presented includes:
- Importance of treating patients with COMISA: Patients with COMISA have more conditions and use more healthcare resources than patients with OSA or insomnia alone. View Abstract
- Real-world look at CPAP-treated people with OSA: From an OSA population that goes on to be treated with PAP therapy, nearly half were women, with average blood pressure readings indicative of stage 1 hypertension and average A1c measurements indicative of prediabetes, and 90% of patients were managing one other chronic condition in addition to OSA. View Abstract
- OSA 2050 burden with a focus on older adults: The prevalence of OSA in older adults is expected to rise significantly through 2050, with the most pronounced increase among older females. View Abstract
- Wearable devices — data sharing and confidence: Most wearable users are confident in the accuracy of their data — but few (only 1 in 6) share their data with a healthcare provider to aid care discussions. View Abstract
- Impact of PAP therapy on relationship quality & patient journey experiences: This study highlights key patient-reported experiences throughout the sleep apnea journey, informing where care pathways could be optimized to enhance overall patient satisfaction. View Abstract
