How to make your patient with sleep apnea a “super user” of positive airway pressure therapy

Adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is a difficult patient management issue. Recent studies confirm widely varying PAP therapy adherence rates (30%-84%). Clinicians at the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center in Detroit developed a set of "super user" criteria, a 5-point method for encouraging patients to maximize adherence to PAP therapy. All 5 criteria, which are discussed in detail in this article from Federal Practitioner, must be satisfied to attain “super user” status.
