1289 Long Term Success of OSAS Therapy—Doff et al INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a sleep related breathing disorder characterized by snoring and repetitive pharyngeal collapse.1 It is associated with excessive daytime sleepiness, a decreased quality of life, increased cardiovascular morbidity, and a higher risk of traffic accidents.2,3 The standard treatment, i.e., continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), reduces upper airway obstructions and improves quality of life.4 However, because of the cumbersome nature of CPAP, patients often have difficulty adhering to or may even abandon treatment. Oral appliance therapy has been shown to be superior to CPAP regarding treatment success in patients with mild to moderate OSAS in 2-YEAR FOLLOW-UP OF ORAL APPLIANCE VERSUS CPAP FOR OSAS
