UNASSIGNED: BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of @entity72560 ( @entity27 ) and to determine the efficacy of the equipment used in the treatment of this disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 38 @entity1 with @entity27 used the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device (Group 1) and 32 @entity1 with @entity27 refused CPAP device (Group 2). Thirty-six @entity1 did not have @entity27 (Group 3). RESULTS @entity1 age, gender, height, weight, and neck circumference did not differ among groups (p>0.05); and the @entity27 index (AHI) and respiratory disturbance index (RDI) values did not differ between Groups 1 and 2 (p>0.05). Vision and pachymetric values did not differ among groups (p>0.05). The IOP was significantly higher in Group 2 than in Group 1 (p<0.05) but did not differ between Groups 1 and 3 (p>0.05). The fundus C/D ratio was significantly higher (p<0.05) in Group 2 than in the other groups but did not differ between Groups 1 and 3 (p>0.05). In Group 1, 2, and 3, 5.2%, 12.5%, and 0%, respectively, of @entity1 had @entity726 . CONCLUSIONS @entity27 should be considered a significant risk factor for @entity726 . Eye tests may help to identify individuals with undiagnosed @entity27 , and such testing of @entity1 with diagnosed @entity27 may allow early detection of @entity726 and referral of such @entity1 for CPAP therapy to prevent development of complications.
