White Matter Structural Differences in OSA Patients Experiencing Residual Daytime Sleepiness with High CPAP Use: A Non-Gaussian Diffusion MRI Study

To investigate factors associated with residual sleepiness in patients who were highly adherent to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Nocturnal inactivity, comorbidities, concomitant medications, and, in particular, white matter (WM) differences using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were explored using a continuous-time random-walk (CTRW) model.
