Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Blood Pressure Variability in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

ABSTRACT: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) improves OSA symptoms and blood pressure (BP) control. The effect of CPAP on BP variability (BPV) in patients with and without hypertension treated with autotitrating CPAP (APAP) for 2 weeks was studied. A total of 78 participants (76.9% men, 49% hypertensive, mean body mass index 36.2 [6.9] kg/m² , age 49.0 [12.9] years) underwent 2 weeks of APAP therapy. Office BP, BPV (standard deviation of three BP measurements), and pulse rate were measured before and after treatment. Systolic BPV (5.3±4.9 vs 4.2±3.4 mm Hg, P=.047) and pulse rate (78.0±14.5 vs 75.5±15.8 beats per minute, P=.032) decreased after treatment, particularly in hypertensive participants. Mask leak was independently associated with reduced changes in systolic BPV (r=-0.237, P=.048). Short-term APAP treatment reduced BPV and pulse rate, particularly in hypertensive patients with OSA.

Project description:Background Studies have shown that a significant percentage of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) do not tolerate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy and long-term use may be as low as 30%. Given the lower levels of symptoms and health-related risks, patients with mild sleep apnea may be at even higher risk for non-adherence to long term CPAP. The purpose of our study was to investigate the prevalence and associations of long-term CPAP adherence in first time users with mild sleep apnea diagnosed by home sleep apnea testing (HSAT). Methods We identified all the patients who were diagnosed with mild sleep apnea (5 = < AHI < 15) by home sleep apnea testing from 01/2013 to 06/2019 at a large, combined community and hospital-based sleep practice. Only first time CPAP users were included. Compliance was defined as CPAP usage ≥ 4 h per night on ≥ 70% of nights over 30 consecutive days. We defined long term adherence as compliance on the 12th month following CPAP set up. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and CPAP compliance at 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th month after therapy initiation were collected. We compared and identified the factors that had significant difference (P < 0.1) between compliant and non-compliant groups at the 12th month. Results 222 patients were included in the analysis. 57 (25.7%) patients were adherent with long term CPAP treatment. The following factors were associated with a greater likelihood for long-term CPAP adherence: older age, lower body mass index (BMI), presence of a bed partner, non-smoker, presence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM), presence of Heart Failure (CHF), lack of depression, and compliance at 1st, 3rd, 6th and 9th month. Conclusions Long term CPAP compliance in mild sleep apnea patients is low. Long term adherence to CPAP can be predicted based on CPAP adherence during the first three months.
