Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: ObeseActive Control1 Intervention
Obese subjects ages 10-18 years with OSA will be recruited from sleep clinic. As per standard clinic care, once a subject is diagnosed with OSA on a PSG they are reviewed in sleep clinic to discuss CPAP therapy. Families will be approached to participate in this study during the subject's regularly scheduled clinical visit. Obese subjects meeting eligibility criteria will be recruited from the sleep clinic. The patients agreeing to CPAP therapy will be invited to take part in the study.
Group II: CMCActive Control1 Intervention
As per current standard clinical care, CMC diagnosed with moderate to severe OSA following a clinically indicated baseline PSG who have had a previous adenotonsillectomy or who are not considered candidates for surgery are reviewed in sleep clinic to discuss the prescription of CPAP for OSA. CMC subjects' meeting eligibility criteria will be recruited from the sleep clinic. The patients agreeing to CPAP therapy will be invited to take part in this study.
