The primary outcome was the change in average daily PAP usage.

After 3 months, the mean (95% CI) SAM clinic daily PAP use was 193 (139, 247) minutes vs usual care at 148 (110, 185) minutes with a mean difference of 46(-8, 99) minutes per day (p = 0.093). Within each group, a mean daily difference of 11(-36,57) minutes (p = 0.65) in SAM clinic and -32(-75,12) (p = 0.15) in the usual care was observed.
