Abstract
Introduction: Residual sleep apnea occurs in ~20% of patients
(defined by a residual apnea-hypopnea index, (rAHI) ≥10 events/
hour) using positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. High loop
gain (LG) contributes to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by
a waxing and waning neural input to the dilator muscles of
the upper airway resulting in episodic airway obstruction. We
hypothesized that high LG is associated with increased risk of
high rAHI among people using PAP
