Project description:Previous studies have demonstrated that lung volume during wakefulness influences upper airway size and resistance, particularly in patients with sleep apnea. We sought to determine the influence of lung volume on the level of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) required to prevent flow limitation during non-REM sleep in subjects with sleep apnea. Seventeen subjects (apnea-hypopnea index, 42.6 +/- 6.2 [SEM]) were studied during stable non-REM sleep in a rigid head-out shell equipped with a positive/negative pressure attachment for manipulation of extrathoracic pressure. An epiglottic pressure catheter plus a mask/pneumotachometer were used to assess flow limitation. When lung volume was increased by 1,035 +/- 22 ml, the CPAP level could be decreased from 11.9 +/- 0.7 to 4.8 +/- 0.7 cm H(2)O (p < 0.001) without flow limitation. The decreased CPAP at the same negative extrathoracic pressure yielded a final lung volume increase of 421 +/- 36 ml above the initial value. Conversely, when lung volume was reduced by 732 +/- 74 ml (n = 8), the CPAP level had to be increased from 11.9 +/- 0.7 to 17.1 +/- 1.0 cm H(2)O (p < 0.001) to prevent flow limitation, with a final lung volume decrease of 567 +/- 78 ml. These results demonstrate that relatively small changes in lung volume have an important effect on the upper airway in subjects with sleep apnea during non-REM sleep.

Project description:BackgroundContinuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in asthma patients with concomitant obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) seems to have a favorable impact on asthma, but data are inconsistent due to methodological limitations of previous studies.MethodsProspective, multicenter study. We examined asthma outcomes after 6 months of CPAP in 99 adult asthma patients (mean age 57 years) with OSAS (respiratory disturbance index ≥20). Asthma control and quality of life were assessed with the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) and the Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (MiniAQLQ), respectively. Data were analyzed by intention-to-treat basis.ResultsThe mean ± SD score of the ACQ decreased from 1.39 ± 0.91 at baseline to 1.0 ± 0.78 at 6 months (P = 0.003), the percentage of patients with uncontrolled asthma from 41.4% to 17.2% (P = 0.006), and the percentage of patients with asthma attacks in the 6 months before and after treatment from 35.4% to 17.2% (P = 0.015). The score of the mAQLQ increased from 5.12 ± 1.38 to 5.63 ± 1.17 (P = 0.009). There were also significant improvements in symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux and rhinitis, bronchial reversibility, and exhaled nitric oxide values (all P < 0.05). No significant changes were observed in drug therapy for asthma or their comorbidities nor in the patients' weight.ConclusionsAsthma control (both actual and future risk), quality of life, and lung function improved after starting continuous positive airway pressure in asthmatics with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Project description:BackgroundContinuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most effective treatment for symptomatic obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The identification of actual predictors of CPAP adherence in real-world practice is essential since it enhances more individualized management for the patient. CPAP acceptance and adherence in elderly patients with OSA have the same challenges but the conclusion remains unclear. Therefore, our aim was to explore the factors influencing the adherence of CPAP in elderly OSA patients.MethodsThe retrospective observational study was conducted from OSA patients' computerized medical records at Sleep Disorders Center, Center of Medical Excellence, Chiang Mai University Hospital, Chiang Mai, Thailand between 2018 and 2020. Multivariable risk regression analyses were performed to evaluate the independent factors associated with CPAP non-acceptance and CPAP non-adherence.ResultsOf the 1,070 patients who underwent overnight polysomnography (PSG), 336 (31.4%) were elderly. Of 759 patients who accepted CPAP treatment, 221 (29.1%) were elderly, including 27 (12.2%) non-adherences, 139 (62.9%) adherences and 55 (24.8%) loss follow-up. Elderly patients with adverse attitudes toward CPAP use affected adherence to treatment [adjusted risk ratio (RR) =4.59, 95% CI: 1.79, 11.78, P=0.002]. Female was also associated with low CPAP adherence with adjusted RR =3.10 (95% CI: 1.07, 9.01), P=0.037.ConclusionsIn our largest cohort to date, elderly OSA patients treated with CPAP over long-term follow-ups demonstrated that adherence rates were associated with personal life issues and adverse attitudes towards treatment as well as health problems. Female was also associated with low CPAP adherence. Therefore, in the elderly with OSA, the indication and treatment of CPAP should be customized individually, and if prescribed, regular monitoring to address noncompliance and tolerance should be considered.

Project description:BackgroundStudies 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).MethodsWe 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.Results222 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.ConclusionsLong 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.

Project description:Background Little is known regarding the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on sleep misperception in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods Sleep state perception was measured by subtracting the objective total sleep time from the subjective sleep duration. Sleep underestimation and overestimation were defined as ± 60 minutes sleep perception. Insomnia and depressive symptoms were assessed using questionnaires. Finally, nonparametric statistical analyses were performed. Results Of the 339 patients with OSA included in the study, 90 (26.5%) and 45 (13.3%) showed sleep underestimation and overestimation, respectively. Overall, a significant underestimation of sleep was noted during CPAP titration comparing to a diagnostic PSG (P < 0.001). OSA patients with insomnia or depressive symptoms did not show any changes in sleep perception between diagnostic and CPAP titration studies, whereas those without insomnia or depressed mood showed significantly underestimated sleep duration during CPAP titration. Patients with OSA and either underestimated or overestimated misperception showed perceptual improvements during CPAP titration regardless of the presence of insomnia or depressive symptoms. However, of 204 patients with normal sleep perception, 138 (67.6%) and 10 (4.9%) had underestimation and overestimation of sleep during CPAP titration. Conclusion CPAP titration may improve sleep perception with moderate to severe OSA who have sleep misperception. However, CPAP titration may result in sleep misperception especially underestimation of sleep in those who have normal sleep perception. Graphical Abstract

Project description: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:Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disease, with approximately 3-7% of men and 2-5% of women worldwide suffering from symptomatic OSA. If OSA is left untreated, hypoxia, microarousals and increased chemoreceptor stimulation can lead to complications like hypertension (HT). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most common treatment for OSA, and it works by generating airway patency, which will counteract the apnea or hypopnea. More than one billion people in the world suffer from HT, and the usual treatment is pharmacological with antihypertensive medication (AHM). The focus of this review will be to investigate whether the CPAP therapy for OSA affects HT.

Project description:ObjectiveThe role of sleep architecture in consolidation of memory has not been extensively investigated. In this study, the association of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and sleep architecture and quality, and sleep disordered breathing on changes in memory are explored during the course of a 6 month clinical trial of CPAP or sham CPAP (APPLES).Methods848 participants had polysomnographic and memory assessments (Buschke Selective Reminding Test [Buschke] and Digit Symbol Substitution Test [DSST]) at baseline, CPAP/Sham CPAP titration, and the 2 and 6 month time points. Half were assigned to the CPAP and Sham CPAP groups respectively. Changes in performance on the Buschke and the DSST were analyzed over the course of the study between CPAP and Sham CPAP as well as in relationship to changes in sleep architecture, sleep quality and sleep disordered breathing (SDB).ResultsSleep architecture, sleep quality and SDB improved in the CPAP group at 6 months; performance on the Buschke and DSST improved equally in both CPAP and Sham CPAP groups. There also were no significant correlations between changes in the amount or percentage of sleep stages between baseline and the 6 months, and corresponding changes in either the Buschke or the DSST. However, when stratified by the upper quartile and lower 3 quartiles, greater changes in the Buschke occurred over 6 months in the top quartile of total sleep time (5.7±7.3 vs. 4.0±6.8, p≤0.01) and amount of N3 sleep (55.9±7.7 vs. 53.6±8.9 min, p≤0.01). Those with more %N3 at 6 months scored better on the Buschke as well (55.9±7.8 vs. 53.6±8.9, p≤0.01). Borderline improvement in the DSST over 6 months was observed in the top quartiles of amount of N3 and %N3. Those in the top quartile of the amount of REM and %REM also showed greater improvement in the Buschke after 6 months. No differences were observed for the AHI, but those in the top quartile of oxygen desaturation had worse scores on the Buschke at 6 months. CPAP/Sham CPAP adherence did not impact 6 month Buschke or DSST performance.ConclusionsCPAP improved long-term sleep duration, quality and architecture, but did not memory. However, large changes in REM and N3 sleep as well as moderate amounts of nocturnal hypoxemia are associated with changes in assessments of memory.

Project description:Determining the endotypes of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has potential implications for precision interventions. Here we assessed whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment outcomes differ across endotypic subgroups. We conducted a retrospective analysis of data obtained from 225 patients with moderate-to-severe OSA from a single sleep centre. Polysomnographic and CPAP titration study data were collected between May 2020 and January 2022. One-month CPAP treatment adherence was followed. Obstructive sleep apnea endotypes, namely arousal threshold, collapsibility, loop gain, and upper airway gain were estimated from polysomnography and dichotomised as high versus low. We examined associations between endotypic subgroups and (1) optimal CPAP titration pressure, (2) CPAP-related improvements in sleep architecture (proportions of slow-wave and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep), and (3) CPAP adherence. We observed that patients with high collapsibility required a higher CPAP pressure than those with low collapsibility (∆ = 0.4 cmH2 O, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.3-1.7). A larger increase in slow-wave sleep and in REM sleep proportions after CPAP treatment were observed in patients with a high arousal threshold, high collapsibility, high loop gain, or high upper airway gain than in those with low levels of endotypes. High loop gain and high collapsibility were independently associated with longer CPAP use hours per night (∆ = 0.6 h, 95% CI = 0.2-1.5 and ∆ = 0.3 h, 95% CI = 0.03-1.5, respectively). In conclusion, different endotypic subgroups of OSA exhibit a difference in outcomes of CPAP treatment. Knowledge of endotypes may help clinicians to understand which patients are expected to benefit most from CPAP therapy prior to its administration.

Project description:BackgroundObstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent and underdiagnosed sleep disorder. Recent studies suggest that OSA might disrupt the biological clock, potentially causing or worsening OSA-associated comorbidities. However, the effect of OSA treatment on clock disruption is not fully understood.MethodsThe impact of OSA and short- (four months) and long-term (two years) OSA treatment, with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), on the biological clock was investigated at four time points within 24 h, in OSA patients relative to controls subjects (no OSA) of the same sex and age group, in a case-control study. Plasma melatonin and cortisol, body temperature and the expression levels and rhythmicity of eleven clock genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were assessed. Additional computational tools were used for a detailed data analysis.FindingsOSA impacts on clock outputs and on the expression of several clock genes in PBMCs. Neither short- nor long-term treatment fully reverted OSA-induced alterations in the expression of clock genes. However, long-term treatment was able to re-establish levels of plasma melatonin and cortisol and body temperature. Machine learning methods could discriminate controls from untreated OSA patients. Following long-term treatment, the distinction between controls and patients disappeared, suggesting a closer similarity of the phenotypes.InterpretationOSA alters biological clock-related characteristics that differentially respond to short- and long-term CPAP treatment. Long-term CPAP was more efficient in counteracting OSA impact on the clock, but the obtained results suggest that it is not fully effective. A better understanding of the impact of OSA and OSA treatment on the clock may open new avenues to OSA diagnosis, monitoring and treatment.
