Introduction: The aim of our study is to ascertain the factors affecting the compliance of older male patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome to continuous positive airway pressure treatment. Materials and Method: Retrospective analysis was done on tests of older male patients who have underwent continuous positive airway pressure treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The tests were documented for almost five years and test results of the patients were taken from records of two different hospitals. Compliance with continuous positive airway pressure treatment; using an average of 5 hours or more of continuous positive airway pressure per night was accepted. Results: It was found that 160 of 264 older men patients adapted to continuous positive airway pressure treatment but 104 of them did not. 68 +/- 3.1 years were recorded as compliant group mean, while 74 +/- 4.2 years was recorded as mean of non-compliant group. Resolution of symptoms a score of 95% were transpire in compliant patients and 87% seen in non-compliant patients. While 95% of the compliant patients took part in the continuous positive airway pressure training meetings, only 53% of the non-compliant patients attended the training meetings. A statistically significant correlation was found between non-compliance with continuous positive airway pressure therapy and smoking, nocturia, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Conclusion: Symptoms resolution treatment seem has linkage with improved compliance. In older male with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, compliance with continuous positive airway pressure therapy is associated with the patient's participation in the therapy education group.
