Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnoea is a common, multifactorial condition with obesity as its most important modifiable driver. Weight loss can markedly reduce disease severity, and the recent TGA approval of tirzepatide for obstructive sleep apnoea in adults with obesity offers a novel adjunct to continuous positive airway pressure, broadening treatment strategies and improving long-term health outcomes.
