Summary

This study looks at whether using a CPAP machine at night can help lower high red blood cell levels (polycythemia) in people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. About 182 adults will be randomly assigned to use CPAP or not, and their blood will be checked over 12 months. The goal is to see if CPAP reduces the need for other treatments and improves quality of life.
