Abstract
Aim: In patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), the benefits of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy are increased for every additional hour of daily CPAP usage. However, the data of predictors of extensive usage is scarce, if any. Therefore, we evaluated potential predictors affecting extensive treatment usage.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we compiled an institutional cohort of consecutive patients diagnosed with who started CPAP therapy 1999-2022 and were included in a wireless telemonitoring system in May 2022 (N = 14,394). Patients using CPAP device ≥ 9 h/d were stratified into a younger (< 65 years; N = 124) and an older group (≥ 65 years; N = 131).
Results: We found 255 patients (male 61%) eligible for our study, with a median age of 65 (interquartile range, IQR 55-73) years, and mean body mass index (BMI) of 36 ± 6.9 kg/m2. Median CPAP use was 10 h/d (IQR 10-11). BMI and depressive symptoms (DEPS) in the younger group were higher than in the older group (37.9 ± 7 vs. 34.6 ± 6.4 kg/m2, p < 0.001 and 11 (IQR 5-20) vs. 7 (IQR 5-14), p = 0.01, respectively). During follow-up, the BMI of the younger group increased (39.9 ± 12.5 kg/m2 vs. 37.9 ± 7 kg/m2, p = 0.009). DEPS values decreased in the younger group and became comparable between the groups. In multivariate models, the baseline BMI independently predicted extensive CPAP use among the younger age group, and the mask leak among the older group.
Conclusion: BMI at baseline in the younger and mask leak in the older group could be independent predictive factors for extensive use of CPAP.
期刊介绍:
The journal Sleep and Breathing aims to reflect the state of the art in the international science and practice of sleep medicine. The journal is based on the recognition that management of sleep disorders requires a multi-disciplinary approach and diverse perspectives. The initial focus of Sleep and Breathing is on timely and original studies that collect, intervene, or otherwise inform all clinicians and scientists in medicine, dentistry and oral surgery, otolaryngology, and epidemiology on the management of the upper airway during sleep.
Furthermore, Sleep and Breathing endeavors to bring readers cutting edge information about all evolving aspects of common sleep disorders or disruptions, such as insomnia and shift work. The journal includes not only patient studies, but also studies that emphasize the principles of physiology and pathophysiology or illustrate potentially novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the journal features articles that describe patient-oriented and cost-benefit health outcomes research. Thus, with peer review by an international Editorial Board and prompt English-language publication, Sleep and Breathing provides rapid dissemination of clinical and clinically related scientific information. But it also does more: it is dedicated to making the most important developments in sleep disordered breathing easily accessible to clinicians who are treating sleep apnea by presenting well-chosen, well-written, and highly organized information that is useful for patient care.
