About this trial
This study intends to investigate the personality and psychological characteristics of OSA patients using classical standard scales and obtain treatment information and adherence data through prospective follow-up to summarize the distribution characteristics of mood and personality characteristics of OSA patients and their influence on treatment adherence. A thorough understanding of OSA patient characteristics from the perspective of personality and psychological characteristics will be of great significance to the classification of OSA patients, precision treatment, and improving treatment compliance.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ)
This study adopted the classic short form of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire - Revised (EPQ-R Short Scale) to assess individual personality traits across four dimensions: Psychoticism (P), Extraversion (E), Neuroticism (N), and Lie Scale (L). Each dimension consists of 12 items, with scores ranging from 0 to 12. Higher scores indicate a stronger presence of the corresponding trait. For example, a higher score on Neuroticism reflects greater emotional instability, while a higher score on Extraversion suggests a more outgoing and active personality
Secondary outcomes
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) compliance
downloading the data from the CPAP to assess average daily usage duration (in hours) and the number of days used per week. Good adherence is typically defined as using the CPAP device for at least 4 hours per night on 70% or more nights over the past 3 consecutive months.
