Abstract

Purpose

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) often coexists with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. However, the effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in this population remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate CPAP therapy's impact on clinical outcomes in patients with ILD and comorbid OSA.

Methods

Following PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched multiple databases for studies assessing CPAP therapy's effects on ILD exacerbation, hospitalization, quality of life, and mortality in ILD-OSA patients. Studies were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria, and their quality was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa quality scale.

Results

Among 485 articles screened, 82 underwent full review, with four observational studies meeting inclusion criteria. CPAP therapy demonstrated potential benefits in improving quality of life and reducing ILD exacerbations in ILD-OSA patients. However, its impact on mortality was inconclusive due to variability in study definitions and methodology.

Conclusion

CPAP therapy may improve outcomes in ILD-OSA patients, particularly in terms of quality of life and ILD exacerbations. Nonetheless, further research with standardized definitions and rigorous methodology is needed to confirm its efficacy, particularly regarding mortality outcome.
