CPAP acceptance and adherence in western Iran are low. Approximately 70% of the patients did not accept CPAP treatment (due to not obtaining the device) and 5% did not adhere. To improve acceptance/adherence, increased access (ie, reduced cost or increased insurance coverage) and enhanced education about the benefits of the treatment are recommended. Treatment monitoring via regular follow-ups may also prove beneficial.
