Conclusion

This study found little evidence that symptoms of depression and insomnia are useful predictors of CPAP adherence, in either short- or long-term use, in an active-duty and retired military sample. Although these were not found to be predictors of CPAP adherence, further research will be necessary to determine whether CPAP adherence improves symptoms of depression and insomnia in military and veteran populations. Apnea severity did predict CPAP adherence in the short term, but not for any length of time beyond 3 months. More research is needed to explore strategies to improve CPAP adherence in military populations.
