Abstract

Purpose The aim of this study is to determine parameters which influence 6-month compliance of continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).Methods This prospective study investigated 73 patients (24 females) with OSAS and medical indication for CPAP therapy: age 55.1 ± 11.5 years, body mass index (BMI) 30.8 ± 5.0 kg/m2, Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) 39.2 ± 26.7/h, Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI) 33.2 ± 25.4/h, minimum O(2) saturation 78.9 ± 7.6%. The influence of baseline parameters (demographic and polysomnographic data, sleeping medication intakes, BMI, psychometrics [Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Regensburg Insomnia Scale, Vigilance test and Beck Depression Inventory]) on 6-month compliance was evaluated with a correlation and a linear regression analysis.Results The baseline value of the Regensburg Insomnia Scale (RIS) predicts 6-month CPAP compliance (r = -0.376, R (2) = 0.14, p < 0.001), although no other baseline parameter correlates. Patients with a compliance of <4 h/night show higher RIS scores, i.e., more insomnia symptoms (17.6 ± 8.8) compared to those with ≥4 h/night (12.6 ± 6.9; p < 0.05).Conclusions Insomnia symptoms prior to the beginning of CPAP treatment show a negative influence on CPAP compliance. Further studies should clarify, if a treatment of insomnia symptoms leads to a benefit in compliance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
