A better understanding of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) adherence is a priority in improving patient care. To Identify adherence typology with a longitudinal approach, and explore the early determinants of lower adherence to CPAP. Obstructive sleep apnea patients (N = 204). Prospective and longitudinal study. A classification into four profiles was observed: "Regular Adherents," "Non-Regular Adherents," "Persistent Non-Adherents," and "Non-Persistent Non-Adherents." Specific biopsychosocial factors make it possible to evaluate the risk of belonging to a lower adherence profile. We propose a novel approach of CPAP treatment adherence. Several pre-determinants have been identified.
