To describe the adherence to the use of positive air pressure (PAP) devices in a cohort of patients with sleep apnea syndrome in Colombia. Descriptive cross-sectional study of adult patients treated between January 2018 and December 2019 in the sleep clinic of a private insurer in Colombia. The analysis included 12,538 patients (51.3% women) with a mean age of 61.3 years; 10,220 patients (81.5%) use CPAP and 1,550 (12.4%) BIPAP. Only 37% are adherent (> 70% of use for 4 hours or more), adherence rates were highest in the >65 years age groups. 2,305 patients (18.5%) were hospitalized, on average 3.2 times; 515 of these (21.3%) had one or more cardiovascular comorbidities. Adherence rates in this sample are lower than those reported elsewhere. They are similar in males and females and tend to improve with age.
描述哥伦比亚一组睡眠呼吸暂停综合征患者对持续气道正压通气（PAP）设备的使用依从性。
对2018年1月至2019年12月在哥伦比亚一家私人保险公司睡眠诊所接受治疗的成年患者进行描述性横断面研究。
分析纳入了12538例患者（51.3%为女性），平均年龄61.3岁；10220例患者（81.5%）使用持续气道正压通气（CPAP），1550例（12.4%）使用双水平气道正压通气（BIPAP）。只有37%的患者依从性良好（使用时间超过4小时，占比>70%），依从率在65岁以上年龄组最高。2305例患者（18.5%）住院，平均住院3.2次；其中515例（21.3%）有一种或多种心血管合并症。
该样本中的依从率低于其他地方报道的依从率。男性和女性的依从率相似，且随年龄增长有改善趋势。
