Resumen |
The objective of this study was to assess the impact of a continuous positive airway pressure treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea on health treatment and disability costs in a commercial motor vehicle driver population. A retrospective, pre/post claims-based comparison analysis was performed. Health and disability costs, in addition to disability claimant rates and missed workdays were compared for the 12 months before treatment to the 24 months after treatment. It was found that health costs were significantly lower in both the first and second years after treatment. Short-term disability metrics also exhibited favourable results with approximately half as many using the benefit, lower costs and fewer missed workdays in the post-treatment period. |
