RESUMEN
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.

INTRODUCTION: Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is one of the most common chronic diseases. It may be associated with symptoms of excessive daytime sleepiness and neurocognitive and cardiovascular complications. First line therapy for OSAS involves home continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), however, nearly half of patients do not adhere with this treatment over the long term. Cognitive-behavioural interventions that include health professionals and patient and public involvement are increasingly advocated in the fields of education and research. We hypothesise that a peer-driven intervention could help patients with OSAS to resume CPAP use after discontinuation. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We have designed a prospective, multicentre randomised, controlled trial that will be coconducted by health professionals, a home provider of CPAP and patients as experts or peers or participants. The primary aim is to evaluate the impact of a 6-month, peer-driven intervention to promote the resumption of CPAP after discontinuation. We anticipate that 20% of patients in the intervention group will reuse CPAP as compared with 6% in control group, thus, 104 patients must be included in each group. The secondary aims are (1) to evaluate the impact of the peer-driven intervention on adherence to CPAP compared with the control group (mean adherence and percentage of nights with at least 4 hours' use/night for 70% of nights); (2) to determine factors associated with resumption of CPAP; (3) to assess patient satisfaction with the peer-driven intervention at 6 months; (4) to evaluate the feasibility and the execution of the peer-driven intervention and peer satisfaction. Adult outpatients with an established diagnosis of severe OSA (Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index >30 events/hour) that have stopped using CPAP within 4-12 months after initiation will be recruited. The peers who will perform the intervention will be patients with OSAS treated with CPAP with good adherence (at least 4 hours/night, 70% of nights) and trained in motivational enhancement and cognitive-behavioural therapies. Trained peers will conduct three interviews within 6 months with participants. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval has been obtained from the French Regional Ethics Committee CPP Ouest II-Angers, (IRB 21.02.25.68606 (2021/2025)). All participants will sign written informed consent. The results will be presented at conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals as well as public media. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04538274.

Nasal obstruction is frequently reported by patients with sleep apnea and complicates the choice of a nasal or oronasal mask for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. However, the type of interface used for the delivery of CPAP is crucial to ensure tolerance and compliance. The aim of this prospective pilot study was to identify whether the validated Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) score rated at CPAP initiation was associated with the type of mask used after 4 months of treatment. Patients completed the NOSE questionnaire before initiation with automatic CPAP. The mask used (nasal/oronasal) after 4 months was documented. In total, 198 consecutive patients with sleep apnea were included. NOSE score (>50/100) was independently associated with the use of an oronasal mask at 4 months (sensitivity, 34.8%; specificity, 87.5%). The NOSE questionnaire could be a simple decision-making tool to guide the choice of mask during CPAP initiation.

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, a chronic respiratory disease, requires regular adherence to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy. Telemonitoring may be relevant to support adherence, but nonetheless this raises ethical issues around the intrusive nature of the daily life of patients Objective: To explore the acceptance of telemonitoring by patients and the impact of this on adherence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective and observational study has been performed with 160 patients who initiated their CPAP therapy. The acceptability of telemonitoring was studied using an attitudes' scale of 8 items. A total of 160 patients (111 men, 49 women) responded to the questionnaire at 1 month upon treatment. The adoption of both telemonitoring and adherence behavior were observed at 10 months of therapy. RESULTS: A majority (78%) of patients expressed a favorable attitude toward telemonitoring, but nearly 40% consider this device like intrusive. However, at 10 months of treatment, 78% of patients are still telemonitored. We did not observe a significant difference between telemonitoring patients and nontelemonitoring patients with respect to the mean duration of use of CPAP therapy. However, the risk of stopping CPAP therapy is significantly more important in patients who refused telemonitoring. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It seems reductive to consider telemonitoring as a simple tool of surveillance to support adherence. It may be preferable to consider telemonitoring as a follow-up proposal. This will allow for more reactive management and close to the needs of the patients, in particular as telemonitoring is, in general, well accepted by patients.

BACKGROUND: Exercise intolerance limits chronic restrictive respiratory failure (CRF) patients from participating in daily activities. The specific modalities that could improve exercise tolerance in these patients remain to be established. OBJECTIVE: To investigate exercise endurance and associated physiological responses with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) during exercise in restrictive CRF patients. METHODS: Eighteen patients (63+/-11 years, total lung capacity (TLC)=59+/-16% of predicted value) performed maximal exercise in spontaneous breathing conditions (MWLE) and during two constant workload exercise (CWLE) tests at 75% Pmax, with or without NIV in random order. "NIV Responders" were defined by an increase in CWLE duration of more than 50% when using NIV. RESULTS: For the whole group, CWLE duration when using NIV increased from 5.6+/-4.6 to 9.6+/-8.1 min. Increase in CWLE duration correlated with reduction in heart rate and oxygen desaturation, and dyspnea relief during exercise. NIV responders (n=9) showed more severe lung restriction (TLC: 2.6+/-0.7 versus 3.5+/-1.1L; forced vital capacity: 1.0+/-0.16 versus 1.46+/-0.38 L). At the end of MWLE, responders had a lower Vt (0.60+/-0.09 versus 0.89+/-0.34 L), a higher dead-space ratio (0.51+/-0.06 versus 0.38+/-0.12) and lower oxygen pulse (4.5+/-1.2 versus 7.4+/-3.9 ml/beat). CONCLUSION: In severely restrictive patients, NIV during exercise significantly improved exercise duration and tolerance and increased alveolar ventilation. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The enrollment of the patients started before July 1, 2005.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the additional information provided by pulse transit time (PTT), a noninvasive tool, when using during polysomnography for the diagnosis of sleep breathing disorders in a pediatric population. MAIN FINDINGS: Respiratory and microarousals events were scored twice. The first scoring was performed using nasal pressure, thermistors, thoracic and abdominal movements, and oxygen saturation. The second scoring, blinded to the first scoring, was performed using PTT in combination with all the other signals. Microarousals were scored once visually on the EEG trace (cortical arousals [CAs]) and once using the PTT signal (autonomic arousals [AAs]) blinded to EEG. For the whole group of 16 children studied (mean age, 9.5 years), there was no significant difference between the respiratory disturbance index (RDI) with or without PTT analysis (22.4 +/- 13.5/h vs 20.4 +/- 14.3/h; not significant [mean +/- SD]). Among the children exhibiting a "without PTT" RDI < 30/h, 5 of 12 children (41.66%) showed a clinically significant >/= 5/h increase in RDI when using PTT. AAs detected by PTT were significantly more frequent than CAs during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (7.4 +/- 3.9/h vs 3.2 +/- 2.3/h; p < 0.001) and slow wave sleep (SWS) [6.0 +/- 4.3/h vs 0.6 +/- 0.5/h; p < 0.0001]. CONCLUSIONS: The quantification of respiratory effort using PTT improves the detection of respiratory events in children. The detection of microarousals is improved particularly in REM and SWS.

The OSLER test represents a simple alternative to the maintenance of wakefulness test. Standard analysis of OSLER test results yields a mean sleep latency (MSL). The aim of this study was to use both MSL and errors (nonresponses to stimulations) to characterize daytime sleepiness in apneic patients. OSLER test results at 9:00 A.M., 11:00 A.M. and 1:30 P.M. were compared in 27 obstructive sleep apnea syndrome patients (50.4 +/- 10.4 years; apnea-hypopnea index: 43.05 +/- 25.08) and 20 control subjects (C). Not only did obstructive sleep apnea syndrome patients demonstrate earlier sleep onset than control subjects (MSL: 1,788 seconds +/- 511 versus 2,335 seconds +/- 139, p < 0.001), but they also spent a greater percentage of time making errors than control subjects (5.4% +/- 4.7 of total test time versus 0.4% +/- 0.4, p < 0.001) with specific error profiles (high prevalence of three to six consecutive errors). When error profile analysis was added to standard sleep latency assessment, up to 40% of patients with normal sleep latency were exhibiting abnormal fluctuation in vigilance. A single 9:00 A.M. OSLER session appeared as sensitive as three consecutive sessions in its use as a means of identifying patients with significant daytime sleepiness. On the other hand, the 1:30 P.M. OSLER test session was least specific to distinguish apneic subjects from normal subjects, suggesting that the OSLER test can identify the afternoon peak in physiologic somnolence.
