ABSTRACT
STUDY OBJECTIVES:
We conducted this study to evaluate whether laboratory or home-based hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) management would have equivalent objective and subjective obstructive sleep apnea outcomes 6 months after activation.METHODS:
Patients undergoing standard-of-care HNS implantation were randomly assigned in a prospective, multicenter clinical trial to either a 3-month postactivation in-laboratory titration polysomnography (tPSG) or an efficacy home sleep study (eHST) with tPSG by exception for eHST nonresponders at 5 months. Both groups underwent an eHST 6 months postactivation.RESULTS:
Sixty patients were randomly assigned. Patients experienced equivalent decreases in the apnea-hypopnea index (mean difference -0.01 events/h [-8.75, 8.74]) across both groups with HNS; the selection of tPSG or eHST did not associate with therapy response rates (tPSG vs eHST 63.2% vs 59.1%). The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (median of differences 1 [-1, 3]) and device usage (median of differences 0.0 hours [-1.3, 1.3]) outcomes were similar but did not meet a priori statistical equivalence criteria.CONCLUSIONS:
This prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial demonstrated that patients undergoing HNS implantation experienced statistically equivalent improvements in objective obstructive sleep apnea outcomes and similar improvements in daytime sleepiness regardless of whether they underwent tPSG. HNS titration with tPSG may not be required for all postoperative patients.
