Abstract

Many medical journals have presented evidence that particular medical conditions are consequences of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in adults. Some of those publications discuss the reversibility of those conditions just by overcoming the OSA, usually by the patient’s adherence to Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) therapy used during sleep. This paper presents a comprehensive tabulated list of twenty-nine OSA consequences in adults based on a review of the literature according to whether they are reported to be reversible (at least partially) just by overcoming the OSA, not reversible, or their reversibility has not yet been reported. This list would be beneficial to medical practitioners for their diagnosis and treatment of OSA and its consequences.
