Abstract
PURPOSE: Telemonitoring (TMg) for patients treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is now routine care in some sleep labs. The purpose of the present study was to identify technical interventions associated with improved CPAP compliance in a real-life cohort of newly telemonitored patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during the first 6 months of treatment. METHODS: All patients with moderate-to-severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15/h) who were newly treated with CPAP were included in the study and telemonitored. A group educational session was scheduled after 1 month. Technical interventions were performed at the patient's request and during scheduled visits and the impact of each intervention on CPAP therapy compliance was collected. RESULTS: Between May 2018 and Dec 2019, 349 patients newly diagnosed with OSA were hospitalized in the sleep lab for CPAP titration and 212 patients were included (mean age 54.6 ± 13.1 years, mean BMI 31.7 ± 5.8 kg/m2, mean AHI 42.8 ± 22.0). TMg acceptance rate was 87%. Mean 6-month compliance was 275 ± 154 min, 13% stopped CPAP, and 17% were non-compliant. Correlations were observed between BMI (r = 0.15, p = 0.029), median and 95th percentile leaks (r = -0.23 and -0.18, p = 0.016 and 0.002), and CPAP compliance. During follow-up, 92 interventions were required, mainly for mask change (n = 80). Pressure modification (n = 16) was the only intervention that increased CPAP use > 30 min/night, p = 0.021. CONCLUSION: Pressure modification was the only adaptation that significantly increased CPAP compliance during the first 6 months. Remote TMg allows providing daily, accurate, and immediate feedback that could help clinicians to confirm that the CPAP treatment is effective.
