TL;DR
CPAP treatment during 18 months in patients with an AHI > or = 20 afforded significant protection against new vascular events after ischemic stroke, adjusted for other vascular risk factors and neurologic indexes.

We concluded that CPAP treatment during 18 months in patients with an AHI > or = 20 afforded significant protection against new vascular events after ischemic stroke.
