A multicenter open-label, randomized controlled trial comparing CPAP treatment versus usual antenatal care was conducted in three academic hospitals in Bangkok, Thailand. Participants included singleton pregnant women aged older than 18 years with any high-risk condition (i.e., chronic hypertension, obesity, history of preeclampsia or gestational diabetes in the previous pregnancy, or diabetes), and OSA (respiratory disturbance index 5–29.99 events/hour by polysomnography), who presented either in the first trimester (gestational age, GA 0–16 weeks) or subsequently developed OSA during the 2nd trimester (GA 24–28 weeks). The primary endpoint was blood pressure during antenatal care. Secondary endpoints included the incidence of preeclampsia. An intention-to-treat analysis was performed with additional per-protocol and counterfactual analyses for handling of nonadherence.
