A method of predicting continuous positive airway pressure ("CPAP") is di sclosed. In one such method, an artificial neural network ("ANN") is created that produces a predicted CPAP. The ANN may be used to produce a CPAP that in turn may be useful in diagnosing and treating a patient with obstructive sleep apnea. Also disclosed are methods of evaluating ANNs for predicting a CPAP based on neck circumference, a body mass index, an apnea-hypopnea index , and an actual effective pressure.
