Functional status, as measured by the<br />
Functional <strong>Outcomes</strong> of Sleep Questionnaire<br />
(FOSQ), improved among sleep apnea<br />
patients who were compliant with PAP<br />
treatment (P < 0.0001). The FOSQ is a<br />
condition-specific functional status measure<br />
designed to evaluate the effects of sleep<br />
disorders on activities of daily living. Higher<br />
scores indicate higher levels of quality of life.<br />
Depressive symptoms, as measured with the<br />
PHQ-9, improved in sleep apnea patients<br />
who were compliant with PAP therapy<br />
(P < 0.0001). Lower scores indicate fewer<br />
depressive symptoms. A score less than<br />
5 is considered normal.<br />
Sleep apnea patients who were compliant<br />
with PAP therapy showed improvement<br />
in all five domains of functional status<br />
as measured by the FOSQ subscales<br />
(P < 0.0001). Higher scores indicate<br />
higher levels of functioning.<br />
