176 consecutive family medicine patients, aged 45 years and older, were tested for obstructive sleep apnea using overnight polysomnography. Participants found to have OSA were offered treatment and followed for 3 years according to usual practice in the Canadian/Province of Quebec health care system. At time of recruitment Time 1, and after 3 years, Time 2, participants completed questionnaires about sleep, health related quality of life, psychological adjustment. Additionally, health data were collected by chart review.The data set consists of an Excel file, with data for 176 participants in rows. Time 1 and Time 2 data are presented in the same row. Variables are respectively labeled with the prefixes T1 and T2. The first three rows describe the measures, variables, and the units of measure for each variable. Each subject row contains 128 variables, including for T1 and T2. The final columns contain coding to identify subgroups, treatment adherence, change in health status employed in previous analyses.Cells with missing data are left blank. Data loss from Time 1 to Time 2 was expected, as we were following a clinical sample who entered the study without a specific complaint and for whom OSA treatment acceptance and adherence are typically low. Describing the trajectory of these patients, including dropout rates, was one aim of the study.The dataset can be copied and pasted into an SPSS data file.
