Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of conducting a comparative effectiveness study comparing a medical versus surgical approach to the initial management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the setting of obesity.

Primary Outcome

The Effective Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) is the actual frequency of apneas and hypopneas per hour that the patient is exposed to. It is calculated as the AHI while on CPAP times the proportion of sleep time that CPAP was used plus the AHI off CPAP times the proportion of sleep time that CPAP is not used.
