Research recommendations coming out of this guidance Auto- versus fixed-level CPAP for OSAHS: What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of auto- and fixed-level continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for managing mild obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS)? What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of auto- and fixed-level continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for managing moderate and severe OSAHS? Interventions to improve CPAP adherence: Which interventions, including behavioural interventions, are most clinically and cost effective to improve adherence to CPAP in people with OSAHS, obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) and COPD–OSAHS (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease–OSAHS) overlap syndrome who have difficulty using CPAP? Mandibular advancement splints for mild symptomatic OSAHS and moderate OSAHS: In mild symptomatic OSAHS, which clinical and physiological phenotypes predict treatment response to customised mandibular advancement splints? In moderate OSAHS, which clinical and physiological phenotypes predict treatment response to customised mandibular advancement splints? Mandibular advancement splints for severe OSAHS: What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of mandibular advancement splints for managing severe OSAHS? Treatment for people with COPD–OSAHS overlap syndrome: What is the optimal treatment for people with COPD–OSAHS overlap syndrome: non-invasive ventilation or CPAP? Upper airway surgery in people unable to tolerate or adhere to CPAP: What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of upper airway surgical interventions for people with OSAHS who are unable to tolerate or adhere to CPAP? Oxygen therapy for OSAHS: What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of nocturnal oxygen compared with placebo in people with OSAHS who are unable to tolerate CPAP?
