CPAP Therapy Termination Rates by OSA Phenotype: A French Nationwide Database Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The nationwide claims data lake for sleep apnoea (ALASKA)-real-life data for understanding and increasing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) quality of care study-investigated long-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) termination rates, focusing on the contribution of comorbidities. The French national health insurance reimbursement system data for new CPAP users aged ≥18 years were analyzed. Innovative algorithms were used to determine the presence of specific comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)). Therapy termination was defined as cessation of CPAP reimbursements. A total of 480,000 patients were included (mean age 59.3 ± 13.6 years, 65.4% male). An amount of 50.7, 24.4 and 4.3% of patients, respectively, had hypertension, diabetes and COPD. Overall CPAP termination rates after 1, 2 and 3 years were 23.1, 37.1 and 47.7%, respectively. On multivariable analysis, age categories, female sex (1.09 (1.08-1.10) and COPD (1.12 (1.10-1.13)) and diabetes (1.18 (1.16-1.19)) were significantly associated with higher CPAP termination risk; patients with hypertension were more likely to continue using CPAP (hazard ratio 0.96 (95% confidence interval 0.95-0.97)). Therapy termination rates were highest in younger or older patients with ≥1 comorbidity. Comorbidities have an important influence on long-term CPAP continuation in patients with OSA.

Project description:BackgroundMost patients with comorbid sleep apnea (OSA), cardiovascular (CV) disease, and/or cerebrovascular (CeV) disease simultaneously take medications. Whether OSA and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) interact with CV/CeV medications remains unknown. This study aimed to determine the interaction among OSA, CPAP, and CV/CeV medications; the effects of medications on major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, and survival in patients with comorbid OSA and CV/CeV.MethodsThis was a post hoc analysis of the data from one center of the Sleep Apnea Cardiovascular Endpoints Study. Participants (aged 45-75 years) with comorbid OSA and CV/CeV were randomized to receive usual care with or without CPAP from December 2008 to November 2013. The primary endpoint was death and the secondary endpoint was a composite of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, heart failure, and transient ischemic attack.ResultsIn total, 131 patients were analyzed. Sixty-three were in the CPAP group and 68 were in the usual care group, 41 had good adherence to CPAP (65.1%), and the median follow-up time was 43.0 (35.0, 54.0) months. In Cox regression analysis, ACE inhibitors and nitrates were independent factors for decreased survival in patients with comorbid OSA and CV/CeV (chi-square = 22.932, P = 0.003; ACE inhibitors: OR 7.241, P = 0.048, 95% CI 1.016-51.628; nitrates: OR 18.012, P = 0.011, 95% CI 1.923-168.750). ACE inhibitors increased mortality and secondary endpoints in the CPAP group (chi-square = 4.134, P = 0.042) but not in patients with good CPAP adherence. Clopidogrel and nitrates decreased survival in usual care group (clopidogrel: chi-square = 5.312, P = 0.021; nitrates: chi-square = 6.417, P = 0.011), but not in CPAP group.ConclusionsOSA may predispose patients with CV/CeV and CV/CeV medications to a negative effect. CPAP treatment may neutralize the negative effects of OSA by relieving chronic intermittent hypoxia. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00738179, first registration date: 20/08/2008).

Project description:Simple Summary No robust data exist on the cardiovascular risks of multiple myeloma (MM) patients. We used the French nationwide hospitalization database to assess the risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular events in unselected MM patients. We demonstrated that MM patients had a higher risk of all-cause death but that they did not have a higher risk of cardiovascular death. MM patients had a lower risk of both myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke. Conversely, they had a higher risk of major and intracranial bleedings. Abstract Background: No robust data assesses the risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular (CV) events in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Patients and Methods: From 1 January to 31 December 2013, 3,381,472 adults were hospitalised (for any reason) in French hospitals. We identified 15,774 patients diagnosed with known MM at baseline. The outcome analysis (all-cause death, CV death, myocardial infarction (MI), ischaemic stroke, or hospitalization for bleedings) was performed with follow-ups starting at the time of the last event. For each MM patient, a propensity score-matched patient without MM was selected. Results: The mean follow-up in the propensity-score-matched population was 3.7 ± 2.3 years. Matched patients with MM had a higher risk of all-death (yearly rate 20.02 vs. 11.39%) than patients without MM. No difference was observed between the MM group and no-MM group for CV death (yearly rate 2.00 vs. 2.02%). The incidence rate of MI and stroke was lower in the MM group: 0.86 vs. 0.97%/y and 0.85 vs. 1.10%/y, respectively. In contrast, MM patients had a higher incidence rate of rehospitalization for major bleeding (3.61 vs. 2.24%/y) and intracranial bleeding (1.03 vs. 0.84%/y). Conclusions: From a large nationwide database, we demonstrated that MM patients do not have a higher risk of CV death or even a lower risk of both MI and ischaemic stroke. Conversely, MM patients had a higher risk of both major and intracranial bleedings, highlighting the key issue of thromboprophylaxis in these patients.
