PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 months

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 months

Population: 31 participants in the Positive Airway Pressure arm and 29 participants in the Oral Appliance arm failed to return for 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring at the two-months time point, but did return at the six-month time point for blood pressure monitoring at the six-month time point and to complete the study.

Ratio of NMAP to mean daytime arterial pressure, expressed as a percentage at the 2 month visit for PAP and OA arms. The ratio is calculated by dividing the NMAP by the daytime mean arterial pressure; the result is then multiplied by 100 to obtain a percentage.
