RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Over the past three decades, our understanding of sleep apnea in women has advanced, revealing disparities in pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment compared to men. However, no real-life study to date has explored the relationship between mask-related side effects (MRSEs) and gender in the context of long-term CPAP. METHODS: The InterfaceVent-CPAP study is a prospective real-life cross-sectional study conducted in an apneic adult cohort undergoing at least 3 months of CPAP with unrestricted mask-access (34 different masks, no gender specific mask series). MRSE were assessed by the patient using visual analog scales (VAS). CPAP-non-adherence was defined as a mean CPAP-usage of less than 4 h per day. The primary objective of this ancillary study was to investigate the impact of gender on the prevalence of MRSEs reported by the patient. Secondary analyses assessed the impact of MRSEs on CPAP-usage and CPAP-non-adherence depending on the gender. RESULTS: A total of 1484 patients treated for a median duration of 4.4 years (IQ25-75: 2.0-9.7) were included in the cohort, with women accounting for 27.8%. The prevalence of patient-reported mask injury, defined as a VAS score ≥ 5 (p = 0.021), was higher in women than in men (9.6% versus 5.3%). For nasal pillow masks, the median MRSE VAS score for dry mouth was higher in women (p = 0.039). For oronasal masks, the median MRSE VAS score for runny nose was higher in men (p = 0.039). Multivariable regression analyses revealed that, for both women and men, dry mouth was independently and negatively associated with CPAP-usage, and positively associated with CPAP-non-adherence. CONCLUSION: In real-life patients treated with long-term CPAP, there are gender differences in patient reported MRSEs. In the context of personalized medicine, these results suggest that the design of future masks should consider these gender differences if masks specifically for women are developed. However, only dry mouth, a side effect not related to mask design, impacts CPAP-usage and non-adherence. TRIAL REGISTRATION: INTERFACEVENT IS REGISTERED WITH CLINICALTRIALS.GOV (NCT03013283).FIRST REGISTRATION DATE IS 2016-12-23.

RESUMEN

Leakage is a common issue with PAP therapy and may contribute to short-term non-compliance with treatment. PAP manufacturers use different methods to estimate and report air leaks (median, mean, p90, p95, % of important air leak, time spent on major leaks), which makes the analysis and comparisons challenging. Leak intensity is a well-known parameter of major importance as it can significantly affect the performance of PAP devices. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding another leakage parameter, namely the leakage pattern. As of now, there is no standard classification for leak patterns in real-life settings. Our objective was to develop and propose a comprehensive nomenclature for leakage patterns observed during nasal auto-PAP therapy. We examined 50 ventilatory polygraphy recordings conducted with auto-PAP, based on data from a prior study in which the unintentional leak flow was precisely measured over time. We have categorized leaks into two main types: continuous leaks, which appear and persist for an extended period, and discontinuous leaks, which vanish more rapidly. Continuous leaks can have both abrupt or gradual apparitions and terminations. Their "shape" can be either interrupted or constant. Discontinuous leaks can have both abrupt or gradual apparitions and terminations. Due to the relatively short observation scale (less than 5 min minutes), this type of leakage is not characterized by a specific shape between apparition and termination. This nomenclature could be a valuable tool that facilitates comparative bench tests or clinical studies. This tool could support manufacturers in developing precise algorithms for leak compensation, residual AHI estimation and the accuracy of CPAP monitoring data. Lastly, establishing a standardized approach for describing and categorizing air leakage patterns could assist clinicians in identifying device-related issues, such as patient discomfort arising from specific types of leakage.

RESUMEN

Background: Mycobacterium abscessus infections remain difficult to manage in both cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF patients and reported clinical outcomes are largely unsatisfactory. Clinical trial data are limited and no approved therapies are currently available for the management of M abscessus lung diseases. As an alternative, cohort studies may provide insightful information into the management of M abscessus pulmonary disease. Methods: Based on a retrospective observational cohort study, we investigated the safety and efficacy of amikacin liposome inhaled suspension (ALIS) as an adjunct to a standard antibiotic regimen for M abscessus lung infection in both CF and non-CF patients. We also assessed the association of patient drug compliance with culture conversion and clinical outcomes. Results: Twenty-six patients had long-term follow-up data available. Culture conversion was achieved in 54% (14/26) of the patients with no difference between CF and non-CF patients after an average treatment duration of 10 months. Patient treatment compliance was significantly better in the converter group compared to nonconverters with an odds ratio of 44.78 associated with good compared to poor patient compliance. Overall, 9 patients (35%) experienced an adverse event that led to treatment discontinuation. Conclusions: ALIS appears beneficial in both CF and non-CF populations with M abscessus lung disease.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Whether the COVID-19 pandemic impacts Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) adherence over the long-term is unknown and only preliminary short-term data have been reported. METHODS: With the aim of describing the impact of the first and second waves of COVID-19 on PAP adherence during 2020 in France, we designed a cross-sectional study of Sleep-Apnea (SA)-patients under PAP telemonitoring. To examine PAP adherence in adult SA patients, we assessed de-identified data from a non-profit healthcare provider database during the period January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020. Included patients met the following criteria: (i) PAP-treated for at least 4 months before January 1, 2019 and with continuous PAP during both 2019 and 2020; (ii) ≥ 360 daily PAP telemonitored data per year. For PAP adherence, data were collected using the PAP-software. RESULTS: 8477/10482 patients were finally included in the analysis [72.4% male, median age 70 years (IQ25-75: 61-77], 25.6% < 62 years old, initial Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) of 41 (31-59)/h. Median PAP adherence was 7.21 (6.12-8.10) h/day in 2020 versus 7.12 (6.05-8.02) h/day in 2019, p < 0.001. The median difference in PAP adherence between the first 2020 lockdown and the corresponding 2019 weeks was 9.75 (CI95% 8.75-10.75) min/day, p < 0.001. The median difference in PAP adherence between the second 2020 lockdown and the corresponding 2019 weeks was 5.00 (CI95% 4.00-6.00) min/day, p < 0.001. If we consider the minimal clinically important difference of 30 min for PAP adherence, 30.4% and 26% of the patients increased their PAP adherence by at least 30 min during the first and second lockdowns respectively; 17.6% and 19.3% of the patients lowered their PAP adherence by at least 30 min in the first and second lockdowns, respectively. CONCLUSION: During the first and second lockdowns, the COVID-19 pandemic had a clinically irrelevant effect on PAP adherence for the study population. Future studies are needed to describe COVID-19 pandemic impact on PAP adherence not only for long-term PAP-treated SA patients but also for incident cases. Trial registration The COVADENE study was registered on March 1st, 2021 on ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT04775966).

RESUMEN

AIMS: Optimizing medical cardiac treatment for sleep apnoea (SA) in patients with chronic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is an expert Grade C recommendation based on six studies encompassing a total of 67 patients only. Whether sacubitril-valsartan (SV), a cornerstone of HFrEF medical treatment, impacts SA is unknown and requires evaluation. METHODS AND RESULTS: The ENTRESTO-SAS trial is a six-centre, prospective, open-label real-life cohort study (NCT02916160). Ambulatory patients eligible for SV (i.e. HFrEF adults who remain symptomatic despite optimal treatment) were evaluated before and after 3 months of SV (including nocturnal ventilatory polygraphy); 118 patients were final analysed [median age was 66 (IQ25-75 : 56-73) years, 81.4% male, 36.5% New York Heart Association III-IV, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide level of 1564 (701-3376) ng/L, left ventricular ejection fraction of 30 (25-34)%, 60.7% ischaemic HFrEF, 97.5% initially treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers, 83.9% with beta-blockers, 64.4% with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and 74.6% with diuretics]. Three groups were defined according to initial central/obstructive apnoea-hypopnoea indices (AHIs): G1 (n = 49, AHIcentral  ≥ 5/h and AHIobstructive  < 15/h); G2 (n = 27, AHIobstructive  ≥ 15/h); and G3 (n = 42, AHIcentral  < 5/h and AHIobstructive  < 15/h). At 3 months, the AHI (main predefined outcome) decreased significantly by -7.10/h (IQ25-75 : -16.10 to 0.40; P < 0.001) in G1 + G2 without positive airway pressure treatment (45 patients, median initial AHI of 24.20 (IQ25-75 : 16.40-43.50)/h). Of these, 24.4% presented an AHI decrease ≥50% and 37.78% had a final AHI < 15/h (tendency for improvement from an initial value of 20%: P = 0.0574). For G1 patients (n = 37), AHI significantly decreased from a median of 22.90 (16.00-43.50)/h to 19.20 (12.70-31.10)/h (P = 0.002). For G2 patients (n = 8), AHI decreased from a median of 30.10 (26.40-47.60)/h to 22.75 (14.60-36.90)/h (statistically non-significant, P = 0.059). CONCLUSIONS: In this real-life population, SV treatment for 3 months in SA patients is associated with a significant decrease in AHI. These results support the current guidelines that recommend first an optimization of the HFrEF treatment in patients with HFrEF and central SA. A potential positive airway pressure sparing effect merits further investigation.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: To date, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains the cornerstone of obstructive sleep apnoea treatment. CPAP data describing residual sleep-disordered breathing events (ie, the CPAP-measured apnoea-hypopnoea indices (AHI-CPAPflow)) is difficult to interpret because it is an entirely different metric than the polysomnography (PSG) measured AHI gold standard (AHI-PSGgold). Moreover, manufacturer definitions for apnoea and hypopnoea are not only different from those recommended for PSG scoring, but also different between manufacturers. In the context of CPAP initiation and widespread telemedicine at home to facilitate sleep apnoea care, there is a need for concrete evidence that AHI-CPAPflow can be used as a surrogate for AHI-PSGgold. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: No published systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA) has compared the accuracy of AHI-CPAPflow against AHI-PSGgold and the primary objective of this study is therefore to do so using published data. The secondary objectives are to similarly evaluate other sleep disordered breathing indices and to perform subgroup analyses focusing on the inclusion/exclusion of central apnoea patients, body mass index levels, CPAP device brands, pressure titration modes, use of a predetermined and fixed pressure level or not, and the impact of a 4% PSG desaturation criteria versus 3% PSG on accuracy. The Preferred Reporting Items for SRMA protocols statement guided study design. Randomised controlled trials and observational studies of adult patients (≥18 years old) treated by a CPAP device will be included. The CPAP intervention and PSG comparator must be performed synchronously. PSGs must be scored manually and follow the American Academy of Sleep Medicine guidelines (2007 AASM criteria or more recent). To assess the risk of bias in each study, the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 tool will be used. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This protocol received ethics committee approval on 16 July 2020 (IRB_MTP_2020_07_2020000404) and results will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications.

RESUMEN

Background: Distal airway metaplasia may precede honeycombing in progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD). The SCGB1A1+ bronchiolar-specific club cell may play a role in this aberrant regenerative process. Objective: To assess the presence of club cells in the small airways of patients suffering from ILD. Methods: Small airways (internal diameter <2 mm) in lung samples [surgical lung biopsy (SLB) and/or transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC)] from 14 patients suffering from ILD and 10 controls were morphologically assessed and stained for SCGB1A1. SCGB1A1 was weighted by epithelial height as a marker of airway generation (SCGB1A1/EH). Correlations between clinical, functional, and high-resolution CT (HRCT) prognostic factors and histomorphometry were assessed. Results: Small airways from samples with ILD patterns were significantly less dense in terms of SCGB1A1+ cells [0.064 (0.020-0.172)] as compared to controls' sample's small airways [0.393 (0.082-0.698), p < 0.0001]. Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) patterns most frequently contained small airways with limited or absent SCGB1A1 expression (SCGB1A1/EH <0.025): UIP (18/33; 55%) as compared with non-UIP patterns (4/31; 13%) or controls (0/29; 0%): p < 0.0001. In addition, correlations with HRCT indicated a significant negative relationship between SCGB1A1 and bronchiectasis as a feature of bronchiolization (Rho -0.63, p < 0.001) and a positive relationship with both forced vital capacity (FVC) and Hounsfield unit (HU)-distribution pattern in kurtosis (Rho 0.38 and 0.50, respectively, both p < 0.001) as markers of fibrotic changes. Conclusion: Compared with controls, the small airways of patients with ILD more often lack SCGB1A1, especially so in UIP. Low densities of SCGB1A1-marked cells correlate with bronchiectasis and fibrotic changes. Further research investigating SCGB1A1 staining as a pathological feature of the bronchiolization process is merited.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: For some patients, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) remains an uncomfortable therapy despite the constant development of technological innovations. To date, no real life study has investigated the relationship between mask related side-effects (MRSEs) and CPAP-non-adherence (defined as < 4 h/day) or residual-excessive-sleepiness (RES, Epworth-Sleepiness-Scale (ESS) score ≥ 11) in the long-term. METHODS: The InterfaceVent-CPAP study is a prospective real-life cross-sectional study conducted in an apneic adult cohort undergoing at least 3 months of CPAP with unrestricted mask-access (34 different masks). MRSEs were evaluated using visual-analogue-scales, CPAP-data using CPAP-software, sleepiness using ESS. RESULTS: 1484 patients were included in the analysis (72.2% male, median age 67 years (IQ25-75: 60-74), initial Apnea-Hypopnea-Index (AHI) of 39 (31-56)/h, residual AHIflow was 1.9 (0.9-4) events/h), CPAP-treatment lasted 4.4 (2.0-9.7) years, CPAP-usage was 6.8 (5.5-7.8) h/day, the prevalence of CPAP-non-adherence was 8.6%, and the prevalence of RES was 16.17%. Leak-related side-effects were the most prevalent side-effects (patient-reported leaks concerned 75.4% of responders and had no correlation with CPAP-reported-leaks). Multivariable logistic regression analyses evaluating explanatory-variable (demographic data, device/mask data and MRSEs) effects on variables-of-interest (CPAP-non-adherence and RES), indicated for patient-MRSEs significant associations between: (i) CPAP-non-adherence and dry-mouth (p = 0.004); (ii) RES and patient-reported leaks (p = 0.007), noisy mask (p < 0.001), dry nose (p < 0.001) and harness pain (p = 0.043). CONCLUSION: In long-term CPAP-treated patients, leak-related side-effects remain the most prevalent side-effects, but patient-reported leaks cannot be predicted by CPAP-reported-leaks. Patient-MRSEs can be independently associated with CPAP-non-adherence and RES, thus implying a complementary role for MRSE questionnaires alongside CPAP-device-reported-data for patient monitoring. Trial registration InterfaceVent is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03013283).

RESUMEN

BACKGROUNDS: To explain the excess cardiovascular mortality observed in the SERVE-HF study, it was hypothesized that the high-pressure ASV default settings used lead to inappropriate ventilation, cascading negative consequences (i.e. not only pro-arrythmogenic effects through metabolic/electrolyte abnormalities, but also lower cardiac output). The aims of this study are: i) to describe ASV-settings for long-term ASV-populations in real-life conditions; ii) to describe the associated minute-ventilations (MV) and therapeutic pressures for servo-controlled-flow versus servo-controlled-volume devices (ASV-F Philips®-devices versus ASV-V ResMed®-devices). METHODS: The OTRLASV-study is a cross-sectional, 5-centre study including patients who underwent ASV-treatment for at least 1 year. The eight participating clinicians were free to adjust ASV settings, which were compared among i) initial diagnosed sleep-disordered-breathing (SBD) groups (Obstructive-Sleep-Apnea (OSA), Central-Sleep-Apnea (CSA), Treatment-Emergent-Central-Sleep-Apnea (TECSA)), and ii) unsupervised groups (k-means clusters). To generate these clusters, baseline and follow-up variables were used (age, sex, body mass index (BMI), initial diagnosed Obstructive-Apnea-Index, initial diagnosed Central-Apnea-Index, Continuous-Positive-Airway-Pressure used before ASV treatment, presence of cardiopathy, and presence of a reduced left-ventricular-ejection-fraction (LVEF)). ASV-data were collected using the manufacturer's software for 6 months. RESULTS: One hundred seventy-seven patients (87.57% male) were analysed with a median (IQ25-75) initial Apnea-Hypopnea-Index of 50 (38-62)/h, an ASV-treatment duration of 2.88 (1.76-4.96) years, 61.58% treated with an ASV-V. SDB groups did not differ in ASV settings, MV or therapeutic pressures. In contrast, the five generated k-means clusters did (generally described as follows: (C1) male-TECSA-cardiopathy, (C2) male-mostly-CSA-cardiopathy, (C3) male-mostly-TECSA-no cardiopathy, (C4) female-mostly-elevated BMI-TECSA-cardiopathy, (C5) male-mostly-OSA-low-LVEF). Of note, the male-mostly-OSA-low-LVEF-cluster-5 had significantly lower fixed end-expiratory-airway-pressure (EPAP) settings versus C1 (p = 0.029) and C4 (p = 0.007). Auto-EPAP usage was higher in the male-mostly-TECSA-no cardiopathy-cluster-3 versus C1 (p = 0.006) and C2 (p < 0.001). MV differences between ASV-F (p = 0.002) and ASV-V (p < 0.001) were not homogenously distributed across clusters, suggesting specific cluster and ASV-algorithm interactions. Individual ASV-data suggest that the hyperventilation risk is not related to the cluster nor the ASV-monitoring type. CONCLUSIONS: Real-life ASV settings are associated with combinations of baseline and follow-up variables wherein cardiological variables remain clinically meaningful. At the patient level, a hyperventilation risk exists regardless of cluster or ASV-monitoring type, spotlighting a future role of MV-telemonitoring in the interest of patient-safety. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The OTRLASV study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT02429986 ). 1 April 2015.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Unintentional leaks (ULs) are frequent adverse effects in CPAP-treated patients. We previously published a novel methodology for analyzing the determinants of UL using polysomnography. We now propose a simplified recording system using a type 3 polygraphic device (Somnolter; Nomics S.A.). RESEARCH QUESTION: (1) To describe individual UL determinants provided by the Somnolter software in automatic-CPAP-treated OSA patients; (2) To subsequently describe the clinical consensus of four physicians on how to manage each individual UL situation. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Somnoler recordings performed under nasal automatic-CPAP were automatically analyzed with APIOS software. For each polygraphic recording, APIOS provided the OR and the CIs for potential determinants of UL: mouth opening, CPAP pressure, body position, and mandibular oscillation. Based on these results, each of four physicians was asked to choose one of four strategies: (1) increase or decrease therapeutic pressure; (2) change nasal mask for oro-nasal mask/chinstrap; (3) favor a nonsupine or supine position; (4) no action for individual leak management. Subsequently, a meeting was held to determine a consensus choice for each individual case. RESULTS: Seventy-eight consecutive patients underwent home-polygraphy with Somnolter. Fifty recordings were analyzed (16 females; 65 [57-75] years of age; BMI = 31.1 [27.4-35.3]). Individual diagnosis of UL was routinely feasible. The determinants of UL were heterogeneous in the population, and diagnosis of UL was not feasible in 10 patients. Based on the results from this analysis, we established consensus leak management strategies at the individual level. The average Cohen κ coefficient for the four raters was 0.58. Pressure modification was proposed in 36% of patients, no action in 24%, installation of a facial mask/chinstrap in 22%, and positional treatment in 18%. INTERPRETATION: The use of type 3 polygraphy for characterizing leak determinants in patients treated with nasal automatic-CPAP is feasible in routine practice. Leak determinants are patient specific. Interrater concordance for determining individual leak management strategies demonstrated a "fair" level of agreement.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUNDS: As a consequence of the increased mortality observed in the SERVE-HF study, many questions concerning the safety and rational use of ASV in other indications emerged. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics of ASV-treated patients in real-life conditions. METHODS: The OTRLASV-study is a prospective, 5-centre study including patients who underwent ASV-treatment for at least 1 year. Patients were consecutively included in the study during the annual visit imposed for ASV-reimbursement renewal. RESULTS: 177/214 patients were analysed (87.57% male) with a median (IQ25-75) age of 71 (65-77) years, an ASV-treatment duration of 2.88 (1.76-4.96) years, an ASV-usage of 6.52 (5.13-7.65) hours/day, and 54.8% were previously treated via continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The median Epworth Scale Score decreased from 10 (6-13.5) to 6 (3-9) (p < 0.001) with ASV-therapy, the apnea-hypopnea-index decreased from 50 (38-62)/h to a residual device index of 1.9 (0.7-3.8)/h (p < 0.001). The majority of patients were classified in a Central-Sleep-Apnea group (CSA; 59.3%), whereas the remaining are divided into an Obstructive-Sleep-Apnea group (OSA; 20.3%) and a Treatment-Emergent-Central-Sleep-Apnea group (TECSA; 20.3%). The Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) was > 45% in 92.7% of patients. Associated comorbidities/etiologies were cardiac in nature for 75.7% of patients (neurological for 12.4%, renal for 4.5%, opioid-treatment for 3.4%). 9.6% had idiopathic central-sleep-apnea. 6.2% of the patients were hospitalized the year preceding the study for cardiological reasons. In the 6 months preceding inclusion, night monitoring (i.e. polygraphy or oximetry during ASV usage) was performed in 34.4% of patients, 25.9% of whom required a subsequent setting change. According to multivariable, logistic regression, the variables that were independently associated with poor adherence (ASV-usage ≤4 h in duration) were TECSA group versus CSA group (p = 0.010), a higher Epworth score (p = 0.019) and lack of a night monitoring in the last 6 months (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In real-life conditions, ASV-treatment is often associated with high cardiac comorbidities and high compliance. Future research should assess how regular night monitoring may optimize devices settings and patient management. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The OTRLASV study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT02429986 ) on 1 April 2015.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Whereas telemedicine usage is growing, the only clinical algorithm for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) adherence management is that stipulated by the 2013 American Thoracic Society (ATS). The capacity of the latter to predict non-adherence in long-term CPAP-treated patients has not been validated. METHODS: Patients from the prospective real-life InterfaceVent study (NCT03013283, study conducted in an adult cohort undergoing at least 3 months of CPAP) and eligible for ATS algorithm usage were analysed. The residual device Apnea-Hypopnea-Index (AHIflow) and High Large Leak (HLL) thresholds proposed in the ATS algorithm were evaluated for predicting adherence (i.e. AHIflow > 10/h, HLLs 95th > 24 L/min for ResMed® devices and ResMed® nasal mask, HLLs 95th > 36 l/min for ResMed® devices and ResMed® oronasal masks, HLLs > 1 h for Philips® devices and HHLs > 60 l/min for Fisher & Paykel® devices). Adherence was defined according to the 2013 ATS algorithm (i.e. CPAP use > 4 h/j for at least 70% of days). RESULTS: 650/1484 patients eligible for ATS algorithm usage were analysed (15.38% non-adherent, 74% male with a median (IQ25-75) age of 68 (61-77) years, a body mass index of 30.8 (27.7-34.5) kg/m2, an initial AHI of 39 (31-55) events/h, and CPAP-treatment-duration of 5.1 (2.2-7.8) years). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated no significant relationship between the ATS proposed AHIflow or HLL thresholds and non-adherence. Complementary ROC curve analysis failed to determine satisfactory AHIflow and HLL thresholds. CONCLUSION: When managing non-adherence in long-term CPAP-treated patients, our data do not validate absolute AHIflow or HLL thresholds in general. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The INTERFACE-VENT study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: study ( NCT03013283 ).

RESUMEN

Rationale: The diagnostic concordance between transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC)-versus surgical lung biopsy (SLB) as the current gold standard-in interstitial lung disease (ILD) cases requiring histology remains controversial. Objectives: To assess diagnostic concordance between TBLC and SLB sequentially performed in the same patients, the diagnostic yield of both techniques, and subsequent changes in multidisciplinary assessment (MDA) decisions. Methods: A two-center prospective study included patients with ILD with a nondefinite usual interstitial pneumonia pattern (on high-resolution computed tomography scan) confirmed at a first MDA. Patients underwent TBLC immediately followed by video-assisted thoracoscopy for SLB at the same anatomical locations. After open reading of both sample types by local pathologists and final diagnosis at a second MDA (MDA2), anonymized TBLC and SLB slides were blindly assessed by an external expert pathologist (T.V.C.). Kappa-concordance coefficients and percentage agreement were computed for: TBLC versus SLB, MDA2 versus TBLC, MDA2 versus SLB, and blinded pathology versus routine pathology. Measurements and Main Results: Twenty-one patients were included. The median TBLC biopsy size (longest axis) was 7 mm (interquartile range, 5-8 mm). SLB biopsy sizes averaged 46.1 ± 13.8 mm. Concordance coefficients and percentage agreement were: TBLC versus SLB: κ = 0.22 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.01-0.44), percentage agreement = 38% (95% CI, 18-62%); MDA2 versus TBLC: κ = 0.31 (95% CI, 0.06-0.56), percentage agreement = 48% (95% CI, 26-70)%; MDA2 versus SLB: κ = 0.51 (95% CI, 0.27-0.75), percentage agreement = 62% (95% CI, 38-82%); two pneumothoraces (9.5%) were recorded during TBLC. TBLC would have led to a different treatment if SLB was not performed in 11 of 21 (52%) of cases. Conclusions: Pathological results from TBLC and SLB were poorly concordant in the assessment of ILD. SLBs were more frequently concordant with the final diagnosis retained at MDA.

RESUMEN

AIMS: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a highly prevalent co-morbidity in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and can play a detrimental role in the pathophysiology course of CHF. However, the best way to manage SDB in CHF remains a matter of debate. Sacubitril-valsartan has been included in the 2016 European Society of Cardiology guidelines as an alternative to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors to further reduce the risk of progression of CHF, CHF hospitalization, and death in ambulatory patients. Sacubitril and valsartan are good candidates for correcting SDB of CHF patients because their known mechanisms of action are likely to counteract the pathophysiology of SDB in CHF. METHODS AND RESULTS: The ENTRESTO-SAS trial is a 3-month, multicentric, prospective, open-label real-life cohort study. Patients eligible for sacubitril-valsartan treatment (i.e. adults with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%, who remain symptomatic despite optimal treatment with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, a beta-blocker, and a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist) will be evaluated before and after 3 months of treatment (nocturnal ventilatory polygraphy, echocardiography, laboratory testing, and quality-of-life and SDB questionnaires). The primary outcome is the change in the Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index, before and after 3 months of treatment. One hundred twenty patients are required to detect a significant 20% improvement of the Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index with a power of 90% at an alpha risk of 5%. CONCLUSIONS: In the context of the SERVE-HF study, physicians are waiting for new trials and alternative therapies. We sought to assess in the ENTRESTO-SAS trial whether sacubitril-valsartan could improve the outcome of SDB in CHF patients.
