There is a recent meta-analysis that provides more evidence backing up the CPAP treatment: "It has been found through meta-analysis that continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) significantly improves patient's with obstructive sleep apnea measure of sleepiness. CPAP seems to benefit patients with more severe sleep apnea the most."

Hello I am a med student part of the wikiedu medicine project for the summer and I chose to work on this page for the next few weeks.
I would like to start by cleaning up the introduction and eliminating a lot of the extra information in the introduction/summary.
Risk Factors section requires more verified citations. Mechanism section needs more information and citations
Diagnosis and Classifcations- Diagnosis section heading is regular font while the subsections under diagnosis are in bold text. Under classifications there is a lot of information that is without any verifiable citation.
Management- Again the main the heading is in regular text while some of the sub sections are in bold text. Other subsections are in different text sizes as well. I feel that maybe the flow of the management section could also be better. The section could start with more common and less invasive treatment options to more drastic and more invasive options.
Once I have cleaned these sections up I will address the rest of the article with the epidemiology and history of the disease further down the course.
Any suggestions are welcome. Pbnj1518 (talk) 16:15, 17 July 2019 (UTC)Pbnj1518[reply]
@ Pbnj1518 I think you did a great job addressing the issues you said that you would in your initial plan on this talk page. Sources have been added, the intro has great information, text fonts and sizes match up to help the flow of the article. The only issue I can see that may need some maintenance are the bullet points. I'm not sure if you added them or not but I've caught some lash for using them, although I think they add clarity and overall readability. Other than that I think you have done an excellent job.
Hello I am a psychology student and using this article for my capstone. Overall the article is very informative. However, It seem to misplaced information in the definition section. I made a change in that section to make the definition more clear. I took off the information of how sleep apnea my cause hyperactivity or problems in school.Roopeterson (talk) 00:11, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, the section on surgery says that oral appliances should be considered before surgery, with references suggesting this. However, surgery is under the main section of Management, while oral appliances is under Other. Perhaps Oral appliances should be moved just above surgery.
