Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation and interpretation of the literature on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) allows for consolidation and determination of the key factors important for clinical management of the adult OSA patient. Toward this goal, an international collaborative of multidisciplinary experts in sleep apnea evaluation and treatment have produced the International Consensus statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (ICS:OSA). METHODS Using previously defined methodology, focal topics in OSA were assigned as literature review (LR), evidence-based review (EBR), or evidence-based review with recommendations (EBR-R) formats. Each topic incorporated the available and relevant evidence which was summarized and graded on study quality. Each topic and section underwent iterative review and the ICS:OSA was created and reviewed by all authors for consensus. RESULTS The ICS:OSA addresses OSA syndrome definitions, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors for disease, screening methods, diagnostic testing types, multiple treatment modalities, and effects of OSA treatment on multiple OSA-associated comorbidities. Specific focus on outcomes with positive airway pressure (PAP) and surgical treatments were evaluated. CONCLUSION This review of the literature consolidates the available knowledge and identifies the limitations of the current evidence on OSA. This effort aims to create a resource for OSA evidence-based practice and identify future research needs. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities include improving the metrics of OSA disease, determining the optimal OSA screening paradigms, developing strategies for PAP adherence and longitudinal care, enhancing selection of PAP alternatives and surgery, understanding health risk outcomes, and translating evidence into individualized approaches to therapy.

Abstract
Background: Positive airway pressure (PAP) is a highly effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but adherence limits its efficacy. In addition, coverage of PAP by CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and other insurers in the United States depends on adherence. This leaves many beneficiaries without PAP, disproportionally impacting non-white and low socioeconomic position patients with OSA and exacerbating sleep health disparities. Methods: An inter-professional, multidisciplinary, international committee with various stakeholders was formed. Three working groups (the historical policy origins, impact of current policy, and international PAP coverage models) met and performed literature reviews and discussions. Using surveys and an iterative discussion-based consensus process, the policy statement recommendations were created. Results: In this position paper, we advocate for policy change to CMS PAP coverage requirements to reduce inequities and align with patient-centered goals. We specifically call for eradicating repeat polysomnography, eliminating the 4-hour rule, and focusing on patient-oriented outcomes such as improved sleepiness and sleep quality. Conclusions: Modifications to the current policies for PAP insurance coverage could improve health disparities.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is considered a chronic disease that requires long-term multidisciplinary management for effective treatment. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is still considered the gold standard of therapy. However, CPAP effectiveness is limited due to poor patients' adherence, as almost 50% of patients discontinue treatment after a year. Several interventions have been used in order to increase CPAP adherence. Mindfulness-based therapies have been applied in other sleep disorders such as insomnia but little evidence exists for their application on OSA patients. This review aims to focus on the current data on whether mindfulness interventions may be used in order to increase CPAP adherence and improve the sleep quality of OSA patients. Even though controlled trials of mindfulness and CPAP compliance remain to be performed, this review supports the hypothesis that mindfulness may be used as an adjunct method in order to increase CPAP adherence in OSA patients.

Abstract
Rates of adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) for sleep apnea are suboptimal. Though previous studies have identified individual factors associated with PAP nonadherence, few projects have investigated a wide range of possible barriers directly from the patient perspective. We examined the range of factors that patients identify as barriers to optimal use of PAP as well as the solutions most commonly offered by providers. We employed a mixed methods design including semistructured interviews and medical record review at a US Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Thirty patients identified as nonadherent to PAP participated. Patients were asked to report on current sleep problems, reasons for nonadherence, and solutions proposed by providers. Chart review was used to identify untreated apnea severity, Epworth Sleepiness Scale score, therapy hours, and residual apnea severity. Patients described physical and psychological barriers to adherent use at approximately equal rates: Mask leaks and dry throat/nose were common physical barriers, and anxiety/claustrophobia and worsening insomnia were common psychological barriers. Untreated apnea severity, residual apnea severity, and daytime sleepiness were not associated with therapy hours. Solutions offered by providers most frequently addressed physical barriers, and solutions to psychological barriers were rarely proposed. The most common solution offered by providers was trying different masks. We recommend individualized assessment of each patient's barriers to use as well as increased involvement of behavioral health providers in sleep medicine clinics.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an underdiagnosed illness linked to essential hypertension (HTN), resistant hypertension (r-HTN), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This review provides updates on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatments of OSA-associated HTN. Recent Findings Mild sleep apnea increases the risk for HTN. Eighty-nine percent of young patients aged 18–35 with HTN not attributed to secondary causes have underlying OSA. Home sleep studies are noninferior to formal polysomnography for OSA diagnosis. Nocturnal oxygen desaturation rate is positively correlated with HTN severity. Gut microbiome neo-colonization in response to high-fat diet cravings in patients with OSA alters immune function and worsens HTN. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and probiotics show newfound potential for OSA-associated HTN treatment. OSA recognition improves hospital outcomes after a STEMI. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcription increases in a dose-dependent manner to hypoxia, and HIFs are strongly linked to cancer growth. Summary OSA and HTN are comorbid conditions with adversely connected pathophysiology including sympathetic hyperactivity, gut dysbiosis, proinflammation, endothelial damage, rostral fluid shifts, pharyngeal collapse, intravascular fluid retention, nocturnal energy expenditure, and metabolic derangements. The dose–response effect of OSA on HTN severity challenges blood pressure (BP) control, so those with refractory HTN should be screened for OSA.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Because air leakage from masks is known as a common cause of low adherence to continuous positive airway pressure therapy, we analyzed the risk factors for air leakage related to parameters associated with auto-titrating positive airway pressure, polysomnography, InBody Test, and rhinomanometry. METHODS Usage data and medical records of 120 auto-titrating positive airway pressure users were reviewed retrospectively. All patients used a nasal or pillow mask and were carefully monitored at scheduled follow-ups. RESULTS Use of a pillow mask, sex (male), age, and abdominal fat percentage were significantly associated with high average air leakage. The higher the auto-titrating positive airway pressure average and mean pressure, the more likely patients exhibited high rates of air leakage. The percentage of patients with high average air leakage increased over time (up to 6 months of follow-up). CONCLUSIONS Older male patients using a pillow mask and those with a high abdominal fat percentage and high auto-titrating positive airway pressure may require close follow-up and continuous monitoring for air leakage. Because air leakage from a mask can change over time, mask-sealing capacity should be reassessed and masks should be changed regularly. CITATION Kang YJ, Cho J-H, Park C-S.

Abstract
Rationale: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) adherence is often poor in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and may be influenced by nasal resistance. CPAP with a reduction of expiratory pressure (CPAPflex) may reduce discomfort in those with high nasal resistance and improve adherence in this subgroup.Objectives: To evaluate the association of positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment adherence to nasal resistance and examine if CPAPflex improves adherence over CPAP in subjects with high nasal resistance.Methods: A randomized double-blind crossover trial of 4 weeks each of CPAPflex versus CPAP in subjects exposed to World Trade Center dust with OSA stratified by nasal resistance, measured by 4-Phase Rhinomanometry.Results: Three hundred seventeen subjects with OSA (mean, apnea-hypopnea index with 4% O2 desaturation for hypopnea = 17 ± 14/h) were randomized. Overall, PAP adherence was poor, but adherence to CPAP (n = 239; mean hours per night [95% confidence interval (CI)]), 1.97 h (1.68 to 2.26) was greater than adherence to CPAPflex (n = 249; 1.65 h [1.39 to 1.91]; difference of 0.31 h [0.03; 0.6]; P < 0.05). Contrary to our hypothesis there was no correlation between nasal resistance and adherence to CPAP (r = 0.098; P = not significant) or CPAPflex (r = 0.056; P = not significant). There was no difference in adherence between CPAP and CPAPflex (mean Δ hours [95% CI]) in subjects with low resistance (0.33 h [-0.10 to 0.76]) or high nasal resistance (0.26 h [-0.14 to 0.66]). No significant differences were observed in any of the secondary outcomes between PAP modes.Conclusions: Contrary to expectations, our data do not show better adherence to CPAPflex than to CPAP in subjects with high or low nasal resistance and do show clinically insignificant better adherence overall with CPAP.Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01753999).

Abstract
Additive manufacturing, or 3-Dimensional (3-D) Printing, is built with technology that utilizes layering techniques to build 3-D structures. Today, its use in medicine includes tissue and organ engineering, creation of prosthetics, the manufacturing of anatomical models for preoperative planning, education with high-fidelity simulations, and the production of surgical guides. Traditionally, these 3-D prints have been manufactured by commercial vendors. However, there are various limitations in the adaptability of these vendors to program-specific needs. Therefore, the implementation of a point-of-care in-house 3-D modeling and printing workflow that allows for customization of 3-D model production is desired. In this manuscript, we detail the process of additive manufacturing within the scope of medicine, focusing on the individual components to create a centralized in-house point-of-care manufacturing workflow. Finally, we highlight a myriad of clinical examples to demonstrate the impact that additive manufacturing brings to the field of medicine.

Abstract
Continuous positive airway pressure (PAP) is still the most efficacious treatment for obstructive sleep apnea when used effectively. Since the availability of PAP 39 years ago there have been considerable technological advances, such as quieter, lighter and smaller machines with better humidification. However, adherence to treatment is still a major problem. This article reviews studies published on behavioral interventions aimed at improving the uptake and maintenance of PAP treatment (January 2016-February 2020). It discusses underlying factors in the poor uptake and discontinuation of treatment and the role of qualitative research to better understand the perspective of the patients.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder among adults with a potential to be life-threatening. Continuous positive airway pressure is the gold-standard for the treatment of OSA, but patient compliance may be reduced due to various reasons. Mild to moderate cases of OSA can be treated reliably and successfully using oral appliances, and the mandibular advancement device (MAD) is the most frequently used appliance. The aim of this clinical report is to present a fully digital workflow for fabrication of a custom non-adjustable MAD using computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing and additive manufacturing for the treatment of a patient with moderate OSA.

Abstract
Patient interface preference is a key factor in positive airway pressure compliance. Local side effects are common. Proper mask fitting and patient education are important. Masks should seal well and fit comfortably. Nasal, nasal pillow, and oronasal masks can be effective interfaces. Most patients with obstructive sleep apnea prefer a nasal mask. Oronasal masks can be a useful alternative. Nasal pillows can reduce mask size and improve comfort. Oronasal masks may require a higher pressure. A significantly lower pressure may be effective with a nasal interface. Proper mask fitting requires testing the mask seal under the treatment pressure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common medical condition with well-established morbidity and mortality. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a highly effective treatment prescribed to most individuals with OSA that has documented poor adherence rate for a variety of reasons including claustrophobia and discomfort. CPAP desensitization is an effective, simple, and brief treatment shown to improve adherence rates to CPAP. METHODS A psychologist specializing in behavioral sleep medicine developed this module focused on teaching medical residents the techniques of CPAP desensitization. The educational activity was an interactive 45-minute seminar which included a didactic component followed by a case presentation and interactive role-play. A postseminar survey was used to evaluate the content of the workshop, as well as growth in awareness and perception of knowledge and skills with a pre- to postworkshop evaluation. RESULTS In a survey of 25 primary care and psychiatry residents and sleep medicine fellows, 92% of respondents indicated that the topic of CPAP barriers and CPAP desensitization was important. Ratings of self-reported knowledge and skills improved nearly one-third following the workshop. Qualitative feedback indicated the utility and enthusiasm learners had for this topic. DISCUSSION The workshop on CPAP desensitization was a valuable tool that should be disseminated more widely to improve treatment adherence in the significant portion of the population that suffers from OSA which does not use adherence to positive airway pressure therapy. The workshop is applicable to other health professionals including medical students and nursing, social work, or psychology trainees.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CPAP effectiveness is limited by suboptimal adherence. Prior studies of adherence have focused on middle-aged men. RESEARCH QUESTION Does CPAP adherence vary by age and sex? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Telemonitoring data from a CPAP manufacturer database were used to assess adherence in patients initiating CPAP therapy between November 2015 and October 2018. Analyses were restricted to patients in the United States aged 18 to 90 years. RESULTS Across 789,260 patients initiated on CPAP (mean age, 55 ± 14 years; 58.2% male), overall adherence by US Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services criteria was 72.6%, but it varied dramatically by age and sex, ranging from 51.3% in 18- to 30-year-old women to 80.6% in 71- to 80-year-old men. Patterns of use over the first 90 days demonstrated that younger age groups had peak CPAP use by the 2nd night, with a subsequent decay in use, including abandonment of CPAP, which was greatest among 18- to 30-year-old women. In contrast, older patients steadily increase use, taking more than a week to maximize usage, and then they have much slower decays in use over time. Younger, but not older, patients have lower use of CPAP on weekends compared with weekday nights. INTERPRETATION CPAP adherence rates vary substantially by demographics, with 18- to 30-year-old women having the lowest adherence. The pattern of use over the first 90 days also varies substantially by age and sex. Further research to understand and address the causes of disparities will be crucial to maximizing the benefits of CPAP therapy.

Abstract
CPAP is considered the gold standard treatment in OSA and is highly efficacious in controlling OSA symptoms. However, treatment effectiveness is limited because of many factors including low adherence due to side effects. This review highlights the range of side effects associated with CPAP therapy in patients with OSA. This information is important for the initiation of patients onto CPAP as well as their continued care while on treatment, given the increase in non-medically supervised CPAP care models in use globally.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea (OSA) is the most common breathing-related sleep disorder and affects more than 20% of older individuals. Furthermore, risk of OSA increases in postmenopausal women. OSA is effectively treated using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). However, Mary, a 74-year-old White woman with OSA, severe, refused to obtain a CPAP machine because the sound of the machine elicited memories of her late husband’s suicide. Intervention focused on reducing Mary’s fear of CPAP sounds. Treatment involved imaginal exposure, in vivo exposure, sleep hygiene strategies, and relaxation strategies. Although evidence-based treatments for OSA and trauma separately exist, there are no treatment protocols designed to address the specific combination of the conditions. Treatment gains included a reduction in trauma-related symptoms and an increase in CPAP compliance. Quantity and quality of patient’s sleep did not improve despite sleep hygiene and CPAP use. At 3-week follow-up, treatment gains and CPAP compliance were maintained.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains the greatest obstacle to effective treatment of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). The purpose of the present study was to identify if mindfulness is associated with CPAP adherence of OSAHS patients. METHODS Newly diagnosed patients with OSAHS completed questionnaires including the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and had experienced an overnight CPAP titration. Participants returned to the sleep center for a scheduled research visit after 30-day CPAP treatment at home. Demographics, disease severity, and device-related variables were collected. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to build a multivariate predictive model for the outcome variable, mean daily CPAP use over 30 days. RESULTS Mean CPAP use was 4.7 ± 2.4 h/night for the study sample of 100 patients and 67% were classified as CPAP adherent. MAAS scale was 45.2 ± 18.8, whereas only 13% of patients expressed anxiety or depression. MAAS scales were significantly higher in the CPAP adherent group compared to the non-adherent group (49.5 ± 14.5 vs 40.8 ± 14.2, p < 0.001) with mean hours of daily CPAP use over 30 days for the adherent group (5.7 ± 1.4 h/night) compared to the non-adherence group (3.0 ± 1.7 h/night). There were differences between the two groups in HADS depression, AHI, lowest SaO2, optimal CPAP pressure, residual AHI, mean days over 30 days, and mean daily CPAP use in the first week. Univariate analyses identified an unadjusted association between mean daily CPAP use over 30 days and HADS depression, MAAS, AHI, lowest SaO2, optimal pressure, and mean daily CPAP use in the first week. Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated only MAAS and AHI were associated (p < 0.05) with mean daily CPAP use. MAAS and AHI uniquely explained 10.1% (p < 0.001) and 8.7% (p < 0.001) of mean daily CPAP use respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study found a significant independent association of dispositional mindfulness with CPAP adherence. As a novel factor, mindfulness may play an important role in CPAP adherence.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize recent research investigating the interaction between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and anxiety, and contextualize their bidirectional relationship. RECENT FINDINGS Recent investigations corroborate the bidirectional relationship between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and anxiety, evaluate the etiological and clinical manifestations through different mechanisms, and provide insight into clinical implications of this interaction. Much of the literature about anxiety as it relates to SDB is from small samples, using different tools of symptom measurement that are often subjectively quantified. The objective severity of OSA does not appear to be associated with subjectively reported sleepiness and fatigue, whereas physiological manifestations of anxiety are associated with the severity of subjective symptoms reported. Recent findings support that women are more likely to have comorbid SDB and anxiety than men. SDB may precipitate and perpetuate anxiety, whereas anxiety in OSA negatively impacts quality-of-life. Treating SDB may improve anxiety symptoms, whereas anxiety symptoms can be an obstacle and deterrent to appropriate treatment. SUMMARY The interaction between anxiety and SDB is still poorly elucidated. Being aware of the clinical associations, risk factors, and treatment implications for SDB as related to anxiety disorders in different populations can help clinicians with the diagnosis and management of both SDB and anxiety.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by episodes of pharyngeal collapse during sleep. Craniofacial alterations such as retrognathia are often found in OSA patients. Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgeries increase the pharyngeal space and are a treatment option for OSA. The aim of this study was to present a successful case of MMA surgery in the treatment of OSA. A patient with moderate OSA (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)=25.2) and mandibular retrognathism and Maxillomandibular asymmetry underwent MMA surgery. The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) were considerably improved after six months (IAH =6.7) and one year of treatment (IAH=0.2).

Abstract
PURPOSE Emerging evidence shows that positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) in chronic insomnia patients (proposed "complex insomnia" disorder) leads to substantial decreases in insomnia severity. Although continuous PAP (CPAP) is the pressure mode most widely researched, intolerance to fixed pressurized air is rarely investigated or described in comorbidity patients. This retrospective study examined dual pressure, autoadjusting PAP modes in chronic, complex insomnia disorder patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Chronic insomnia disorder patients (mean [SD] insomnia severity index [ISI] =19.11 [3.34]) objectively diagnosed with OSA or UARS and using either autobilevel PAP device or adaptive servoventilation (ASV) device after failing CPAP therapy (frequently due to intolerance to pressurized air, poor outcomes, or emergence of CSA) were divided into PAP users (≥20 h/wk) and partial users (<20 h/wk) for comparison. Subjective and objective baseline and follow-up measures were analyzed. RESULTS Of the 302 complex insomnia patients, PAP users (n=246) averaged 6.10 (1.78) nightly hours and 42.71 (12.48) weekly hours and partial users (n=56) averaged 1.67 (0.76) nightly hours and 11.70 (5.31) weekly hours. For mean (SD) decreases in total ISI scores, a significant (group × time) interaction was observed (F[1,300]=13.566; P<0.0001) with PAP users (-7.59 [5.92]; d=1.63) showing superior results to partial users (-4.34 [6.13]; d=0.81). Anecdotally, patients reported better tolerability with advanced PAP compared to previous experience with CPAP. Both adaptive servoventilation and autobilevel PAP showed similar ISI score improvement without statistical differences between devices. Total weekly hours of PAP use correlated inversely with change in insomnia symptoms (r=-0.256, P<0.01). CONCLUSION Insomnia severity significantly decreased in patients using autoadjusting PAP devices, but the study design restricts interpretation to an association. Future research must elucidate the interaction between insomnia and OSA/UARS as well as the adverse influence of pressure intolerance on PAP adaptation in complex insomnia patients. Randomized controlled studies must determine whether advanced PAP modes provide benefits over standard CPAP modes in these comorbidity patients.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Patients with comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) manifest low adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) due to fixed, pressure-induced expiratory pressure intolerance (EPI), a subjective symptom and objective sign aggravated by anxiety sensitivity and somatosensory amplification. As advanced PAP therapy modes (ie, auto-bilevel PAP [ABPAP] or adaptive servo-ventilation [ASV]) may address these side effects, we hypothesized such treatment would be associated with decreased expiratory intolerance and increased adherence in posttraumatic stress patients with co-occurring OSA. METHODS We reviewed charts of 147 consecutive adult patients with moderately severe posttraumatic stress symptoms and objectively diagnosed OSA. All patients failed or rejected CPAP and were manually titrated on auto-adjusting, dual-pressure ABPAP or ASV modes in the sleep laboratory, a technique to eliminate flow limitation breathing events while resolving EPI. Patients were then prescribed either mode of therapy. Follow-up encounters assessed patient use, and objective data downloads (ODDs) measured adherence. RESULTS Of 147 charts reviewed, 130 patients were deemed current PAP users, and 102 provided ODDs: 64 used ASV and 38 used ABPAP. ODDs yielded three groups: 59 adherent per insurance conventions, 19 subthreshold compliant partial users, and 24 noncompliant. Compliance based on available downloads was 58%, notably higher than recently reported rates in PTSD patients with OSA. Among the 19 partial users, 17 patients were minutes of PAP use or small percentages of nights removed from meeting insurance compliance criteria for PAP devices. CONCLUSION Research is warranted on advanced PAP modes in managing CPAP failure in PTSD patients with comorbid OSA. Subthreshold adherence constructs may inform clinical care in a patient-centric model distinct from insurance conventions. Speculatively, clinical application of this transitional zone ("subthreshold" number of hours) may increase PAP use and eventual adherence.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To describe facilitators and barriers from a patient perspective in communications between patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome and healthcare personnel during the first meeting when continuous positive airway pressure is initiated. BACKGROUND Adherence to continuous positive airway pressure treatment tends to be poor, especially at the initial phase of treatment. Communication between the patient and healthcare personnel has not been studied from the patient perspective, as either a barrier or facilitator for adherence. METHODS A descriptive design using qualitative content analysis was used. Interviews with 25 patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome took place after their initial visit at four continuous positive airway pressure clinics. A deductive analysis based on The 4 Habits Model (i.e. emphasise the importance of investing in the beginning of the consultation, elicit the patient's perspective, demonstrate empathy and invest in the end of the consultation) was conducted. RESULTS Building confidence (i.e. structure building, information transfer, commitment) or hindering confidence (i.e. organisational insufficiency, stress behaviour, interaction deficit) was associated with investing in the beginning. Motivating (i.e. situational insight, knowledge transfer, practical training) or demotivating (i.e. expectations, dominance and power asymmetry, barriers) was associated with eliciting the patient's perspective. Building hope (i.e. awareness, sensitivity, demonstration of understanding) or hindering hope (i.e. unprepared, uncommitted, incomprehension) was associated with showing empathy. Agreement (i.e. confirmation, responsibilities, comprehensive information) or disagreement (i.e. structural obscurity, irresponsibility, absent-mindedness) was associated with investing in the end. CONCLUSIONS Understanding of facilitators and barriers, as described by patients, can be used to improve contextual conditions and communication skills among healthcare personnel. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE A patient-centred communication technique should be used in relation to all stages of The 4 Habits Model to facilitate shared decision-making and improve adherence to continuous positive airway pressure treatment.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM It is clear the contemporary dentist is confronted with a blizzard of information regarding materials and techniques from journal articles, advertisements, newsletters, the internet, and continuing education events. While some of that information is sound and helpful, much of it is misleading at best. PURPOSE This review identifies and discusses the most important scientific findings regarding outcomes of dental treatment to assist the practitioner in making evidence-based choices. This review was conducted to assist the busy dentist in keeping abreast of the latest scientific information regarding the clinical practice of dentistry. MATERIAL AND METHODS Each of the authors, who are considered experts in their disciplines, was asked to peruse the scientific literature published in 2015 in their discipline and review the articles for important information that may have an impact on treatment decisions. Comments on experimental methodology, statistical evaluation, and overall validity of the conclusions are included in many of the reviews. RESULTS The reviews are not meant to stand alone but are intended to inform the interested reader about what has been discovered in the past year. The readers are then invited to go to the source if they wish more detail. CONCLUSIONS Analysis of the scientific literature published in 2015 is divided into 7 sections, dental materials, periodontics, prosthodontics, occlusion and temporomandibular disorders, sleep-disordered breathing, cariology, and implant dentistry.

Abstract
Sleep disturbances are a common presenting symptom of older-age adults to their physicians. This article explores normal changes in sleep pattern with aging and primary sleep disorders in the elderly. Behavioral factors and primary psychiatric disorders affecting sleep in this population are reviewed. Further discussion examines sleep changes associated with 2 common forms of neurocognitive disorder: Alzheimer disease and Lewy Body Dementia. Common medical illnesses in the elderly are discussed in relation to sleep symptoms. Nonpharmacological and pharmacologic treatment strategies are summarized, with emphasis placed on risk of side effects in older adults. Future targets are considered.
