CPAP improving neurologic recovery


Anne-Kathrin Brill,  Thomas Horvath and Claudio Bassetti with their teams have published a meta-analysis including 10 randomized clinical trials providing evidence for an overall neurofunctional improvement with CPAP (SMD, 0.5406; 95%CI, 0.0263–1.0548) in the combined analysis of the neurofunctional scales (NIH Stroke Scale and Canadian Neurological Scale) Although, the studies show considerable heterogeneity the results are promising for larger randomized clinical trials such as eSATIS.
