The relationship between sleep apnea and mortality is established through clinical and population-based research, such as the studies by Bliwise et al. {fact:1, fact:2} and various comparative analyses {fact:3, fact:4}. Furthermore, observational data indicates that untreated sleep apnea is associated with higher mortality rates compared to treated patients [1].

measurementAn observational follow-up study found that untreated sleep apnea patients (n=61) were more likely to die from cardiovascular disease compared to those treated with CPAP therapy for at least 5 years (n=107), with mortality rates of 14.8 percent versus 1.9 percent.
referenceBliwise DL, Bliwise NG, Partinen M, Pursley AM, and Dement WC studied sleep apnea and mortality in an aged cohort, published in the American Journal of Public Health.
claimStudies of patients at sleep clinics tend to show an association between sleep apnea and mortality, but several population-based studies have failed to find this association, according to Young et al. (2002a,b), Lavie et al. (2005), He et al. (1988), Ancoli-Israel et al. (1996), Lindberg et al. (1998), and Kripke et al. (2002).
