Evaluation of combination therapy with acetazolamide and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

The correspondence I am sharing offers an assessment of a study that provides valuable information on the potential benefits of combining acetazolamide with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The authors present a well-designed methodology, including a randomized, controlled clinical trial, and the results highlight a significant reduction in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and improvements in sleep architecture and oxygen desaturation index (ODI). However, the corresponding author suggests that further considerations and improvements are needed to fully validate the combination therapy as a treatment option for OSA.
