Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Protocol - Intervention
Weight loss intervention through lifestyle modification or pharmacotherapy for obstructive sleep apnoea in adults
Abstract
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:
To assess the effects of non‐surgical weight loss interventions through lifestyle modification or pharmacotherapy as a treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
The review aims to test the hypothesis that OSA indices (and symptoms) would be favourably modified by non‐surgical weight loss interventions in obese patients with OSA.
