Abstract |
Type D personality, defined as a combination of social inhibition and negative affectivity, has been associated with poor medication adherence and lower adherence to continuous positive airway pressure in patients with sleep-disordered breathing. Up to this date, the association of patient's personality with adherence with a mandibular advancement device (MAD) has not been studied. The purposes of this study were to examine the association between type D personality and poor adherence to MAD treatment and to examine the impact of type D personality on perceived side effects during this treatment. |
