Impact of PAP-Guided HF Management on All-Cause Mortality in GDMT Population

In addition to the further reduction in hospitalizations discussed in Figure 8, this analysis also suggested that PAP-guided management could produce a reduction in the risk of mortality.  As shown in Figure 9,[10] a 43% relative risk reduction (57% hazard ratio) for patients treated with PAP-guided HF management in addition to GDMT provides a strong suggestion that a reduction in HF hospitalizations with PAP-guided HF management may also result in a reduction in mortality.  However because this was a retrospective analysis of a subgroup of the CHAMPION population, this information cannot be taken as definitive.
