Abstract
INTRODUCTION The efficacy of non-pharmacotherapeutic treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, a highly prevalent condition with serious cardiometabolic and neurocognitive health consequences, is well established. Supplementing traditional treatment strategies with medications can improve symptoms and reduce side effects. Efforts to identify medications that target the causes of sleep apnea have met with mixed success. However, this remains a worthwhile objective for researchers to pursue, given the potential benefit pharmacotherapy could bring to those patients who reject or struggle to adhere to existing treatments. AREAS COVERED This article presents the case for obstructive sleep apnea pharmacotherapy including drugs that reduce the occurrence of apnea events, such as weight loss agents, ventilation activators and muscle and nervous system stimulants, drugs that alleviate symptoms, such as wake-promoting agents for excessive daytime sleepiness, and drugs that improve adherence to existing treatments, such as hypnotics. Literature was accessed from PubMed between 1 March 2024 and 18 April 2024. EXPERT OPINION Exciting recent advances in both our understanding of obstructive sleep apnea pathology and in the techniques used to identify therapeutic agents and their targets combine to embolden a positive outlook for the expanded use of drugs in tackling this consequential disease.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Numerous studies have shown an association and symptom overlaps between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and depression. However, data are limited on the association between age, sex, the severity of depression at the time of OSA diagnosis, and its impact on positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is a validated depression screening and severity scoring tool recommended by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (fifth edition). In this retrospective observational study, we evaluate the interrelationship between age at OSA diagnosis, depression severity, and PAP adherence. METHODS Patients with new OSA diagnosis, seen at the University of California San Francisco-Fresno Sleep Center between February and October of 2022, were evaluated. PHQ-9 scores for depression severity uses a 1 to 5 scale (1 = none, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 moderately severe, 5 = severe). The PHQ-9 was administered at the time of OSA diagnosis and follow-up. Average daily PAP usage hours were obtained from PAP devices between 1 to 3 months after therapy initiation. IBM SPSS version 29.0.0 was used to calculate descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS Seventy-seven patients fit the inclusion criteria, of which 28 were women (36.4%). The average baseline apnea-hypopnea index was 34.5 (standard deviation 31.8), with a PHQ-9 mean of 8.3 with standard deviation ± 5.9. A Mann-Whitney comparison between the group with normal PHQ-9 scores and the group with PHQ-9 scores consistent with depression (score of 5 or greater) showed no statistically significant differences in apnea-hypopnea index (P = .470) or average night hour use (P = .195). There was a statistically significant difference in age between both groups (P = .031). Spearman correlation confirmed a negative, statistically significant correlation between PHQ-9 scores and age in patients with OSA. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that PHQ-9 scores at the time of OSA diagnosis are moderately correlated with younger age, with those patients younger than 50 years old having more moderate to severe depression scores than older patients. We did not find a correlation between age and PAP adherence or between PHQ-9 scores and PAP adherence. Our findings can help identify high-risk depression patients early in the diagnosis of OSA and bring awareness that the young adult population can be particularly vulnerable.

Adherence to continuous positive airway pressure therapy in patients with spinal cord injury and obstructive sleep apnea: trajectories and predictors. Sleep Breath 2024; 28:753-762. [PMID: 38063994 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-023-02955-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To identify specific determinants of non-adherence or cessation of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in a population of patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI). METHODS Retrospective analysis of data from patients with SCI who underwent a full night supervised polysomnography between 2015 and 2021 and presented with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and for whom CPAP was indicated. Adherence was studied at 1, 6, and 12 months. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors associated with non-adherence (< 4 h per night or CPAP cessation). Factors studied were demographic and disease-related data and both subjective and objective sleep parameters. RESULTS A total of 60 patients were included (40% cervical SCI). In univariate analysis, the only predictive parameters of non-adherence observed at 1, 6, and 12 months were the average use of CPAP on the 1st night (p = 0.02) and over the 1st week (p ≤ 0.001). A complete lesion (AIS-A) was predictive of non-adherence at 1 and 6 months (p = 0.02 at 6 months), while mask leakage was associated with non-adherence at 12 months (p = 0.02). Upper limb autonomy and the presence of family caregivers did not appear to be protective. In multivariate analysis, only the average use in the first week remained predictive of adherence (> 4 h) in the short, medium and long term. CONCLUSION In patients with SCI and OSA, the 1st week of CPAP treatment seems to be determinant of short-, medium-, and long-term CPAP adherence. Support for SCI patients from the start of treatment is essential and may help avoid treatment failures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To screen psychological problems of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) by utilizing the psychological symptom screening test Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) and to evaluate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. METHODS The SCL-90-R and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) test were applied to 66 patients with Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI ≥ 30/h) using CPAP device and 20 healthy individuals; the test results were compared. RESULTS The age of the patients ranged from 28 to 67 years, and the patient group comprised 54 males (81.8%) and 12 females (18.2%). The AHI scores ranged from 30.05 to 99.80, with a mean of 49.34 ± 21.40. Significant improvement was seen in 6 of the 11 SCL-90-R scores in CPAP-treated patients. CONCLUSION The authors conclude that the SCL-90-R test may be appropriate for evaluating the response to CPAP treatment in OSAS patients and monitoring the psychosocial effects of treatment.

Beneficial Effects of Early Intervention Telemedicine-based Follow-Up in Sleep Apnea: A Randomized Controlled Multicenter Trial. Ann Am Thorac Soc 2023; 20:1499-1507. [PMID: 37463309 DOI: 10.1513/annalsats.202208-723oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Positive airway pressure (PAP) is standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. Telemedicine has been introduced for improved PAP follow-up. Objectives: Our study aim was to evaluate the clinical utility of and patient satisfaction with PAP follow-up with an early intervention telemedical protocol. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at four sleep clinics of the same county. Treatment-naive patients with obstructive sleep apnea were randomized to standard PAP follow-up (203 patients, fixed follow-up procedures) or early intervention telemedical follow-up (AirView, ResMed; 206 patients, continuous follow-up) for 3 months. Evaluated variables included PAP adherence at 3 months, patient-reported outcome measures (Epworth Sleepiness Scale, 36-item Short Form Health Survey, Insomnia Severity Index, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), and staff time. Group differences were analyzed with linear mixed regression models adjusted for age, body mass index, apnea-hypopnea index, and study center. Results: The study groups were comparable at baseline (N = 409; mean age, 59 ± 12 yr; body mass index, 31.9 ± 6 kg/m2, apnea-hypopnea index, 41.5 ± 21 events/h). PAP adherence was higher in the proactive telemedicine group than in the control group (4.3 ± 2.4 and 4.1 ± 2.6 h/night; P = 0.01, respectively), and mean mask pressure at follow-up was significantly lower in the telemedicine group than in the control group (8.7 ± 2.1 cm H2O vs. 9.2 ± 2.5 cm H2O; P = 0.028). In post hoc analysis, the difference in PAP adherence between groups was most pronounced in patients with depression (4.8 ± 2.6 h/night vs. 2.7 ± 2.3 h/night; P = 0.03). Relevant mask leakage (>24 L/min) was lower in the telemedicine group (5.4% vs. 12.1%, P = 0.024). Improvement of patient-reported outcome measures and patient satisfaction was equivalent between groups. Conclusions: Proactive telemedical management of the initial follow-up of PAP treatment compared favorably with conventional follow-up in terms of adherence, pressure level, and mask leakage. Patients with depression may particularly benefit from telemedical follow-up. Specific clinical routines are required to establish this practice in sleep clinics. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03446560).

Abstract
The correlation between depressive and cognitive symptoms and OSAS (obstructive sleep apnea syndrome) is between 5 and 63%. We reported the case of two patients with severe OSAS and its associated depressive symptoms that were intolerant to continuous positive airway pressure (C-PAP) and underwent maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery. The severity of cognitive and depressive symptoms was assessed using validated questionnaires (Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and quality of life), medical observation, and patient-reported symptoms. We performed pre- and post-treatment polysomnography. Six months after treatment, the value of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) had returned to the normal range and, together with it, the depressive component was considerably reduced and the patients' overall quality of life (BDI, BAI, ESS, and qol) improved. Conclusion: We described significant improvement in all the analyzed parameters, such as physical and mental functioning, and depression and anxiety rates.

Abstract
Rationale: Poor adherence limits the effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A better understanding of CPAP adherence is needed to develop novel strategies to improve it. Objectives: To determine if the chronotype (morning, evening, or intermediate) of patients with OSA is associated with differences in CPAP adherence. If such an association exists, determine the mechanisms underlying this association. Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of the APPLES (Apnea Positive Pressure Long-term Efficacy Study) clinical trial. We assessed chronotype using the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) among participants randomized to the CPAP arm with daily adherence data (n = 469). Evening (MEQ ⩽ 41), intermediate (41 < MEQ < 59), and morning type (MEQ ⩾ 59) categories were the exposures. We modeled daily CPAP use (hours per night) over a 6-month period, using a linear mixed model, adjusted for covariates (e.g., age, sex, marital status). To assess mechanisms of the association, we performed mediation analyses using sleep duration, weekend catch-up sleep, depression, and other factors. Results: Most participants were obese men with severe OSA (body mass index of 32.3 ± 7.3 kg/m2, 65% male, and apnea-hypopnea index 39.8 ± 24.6/h). Participants were 44% morning, 47% intermediate, and 8% evening chronotype. Participants with the morning chronotype reported the shortest sleep duration on weekends (7.3 vs. 7.6 and 7.9 h/night) compared with the intermediate and evening types. Participants with the morning chronotype exhibited a 40-min/night higher CPAP use (P = 0.001) than persons with the intermediate chronotype. This relationship was mildly attenuated (32.8 min/night; P = 0.011) after adjustment for covariates. None of the selected factors (e.g., sleep duration, weekend catch-up sleep) exhibited a significant mediation effect. Conclusions: Morning chronotype is associated with a clinically meaningful increase in CPAP adherence compared with other chronotypes. Mechanisms of this association require further study. Chronotype may be a novel predictor of CPAP adherence. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT00051363).

Abstract
Introduction The benefits of CPAP in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are not achieved without therapeutic adherence (TA). The perception of benefit is one of the main predictors of adherence. However, it is unknown whether the impact of CPAP on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is related to TA. Objective 1) To evaluate whether changes in HRQoL after initiating CPAP are associated with AT. 2) To analyze the influence of various TA determinants, including baseline HRQoL. Methods Prospective observational and longitudinal study on a cohort of patients with moderate-severe OSA and indication of CPAP. Baseline and after-therapy HRQoL were evaluated using the Quebec Sleep Questionnaire (QSQ), as well as other possible AT determinants. A multivariate analysis was performed. Results A total of 364 patients (78% men) were included, with mean age of 55 ± 11 years and apnea-hypopnea index of 42 ± 19/hour. 33.3% without TA. There was no association between HRQoL changes after 3 months of CPAP and AT and between QSQ baseline score and AT. A higher ODI4%, a global improvement and social interactions (QSQ), were associated with AT. Baseline anxiety-depressive symptoms, worsening anxiety, and side effects with CPAP were associated with worse AT. Conclusions The impact of CPAP on HRQoL with respect to the perception of social interactions seems to condition TA. The basal impact of the disease, in terms of HRQoL, is not associated with AT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often associated to mood disorders and anxiety symptoms that may influence negatively the treatment approach. However, the relationship between anxiety, depression and adherence to treatment is still unclear. We investigate the presence of anxiety and depressive symptoms in newly diagnosed OSA patients and the link between psychological symptoms and acceptance or adherence to CPAP after one year. METHODS A validated Italian questionnaire for anxiety and depressive symptoms was administered to 249 patients (69F) with a mean age of 57.2±12.2 and a mean AHI of 40.9±21.9 (ev*hr-1). The CPAP use in the first and last night of acclimatization and one year after prescription was 6.4±2.2, 6.9±1.4 and 5.3±2.2 hr, respectively. RESULTS Anxiety symptoms were reported by 15.6% of patients, depressive symptoms by 6% while 12.5% reported both anxiety and depressive symptoms. Adherence to CPAP in the first night was not adequate in 19.7% of patients with relevant difference between groups: 16.4% in AD-,20.5% in A+,13.3% in D+ and 38.7% in AD+ (χ2=8.6; P=0.03). However, at the end of acclimatization period only 4.4% of patients utilized CPAP<5/h. One-year after prescription the adherence was adequate in 74.7% of patients without difference between groups. A Cox proportional hazard model demonstrated that AHI (OR=0.985, 95% CI: 0.97-0.99; P=0.03) and compliance to CPAP at the first night of use (OR=0.445; 95% CI: 0.246-0.8; P=0.007) are the only predictive factors of long-term compliance. CONCLUSIONS Presence of anxiety and depressive symptoms should be checked before PAP titration since they may negatively influence the early acclimatization and adherence.

Yi H, Dong X, Shang S, Zhang C, Xu L, Han F. Identifying longitudinal patterns of CPAP treatment in OSA using growth mixture modeling: Disease characteristics and psychological determinants. Front Neurol 2022; 13:1063461.

Abstract
In this study, we aim to identify the distinct subtypes of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) user profiles based on the telemedicine management platform and to determine clinical and psychological predictors of various patterns of adherence. A total of 301 patients used auto-CPAP (Autoset 10, Resmed Inc.) during the treatment period. Four categories of potential predictors for CPAP adherence were examined: (1) demographic and clinical characteristics, (2) disease severity and comorbidities, (3) sleep-related health issues, and (4) psychological evaluation. Then, growth mixture modeling was conducted using Mplus 8.0 to identify the unique trajectories of adherence over time. Adherence data were collected from the telemedicine management platform (Airview, Resmed Inc.) during the treatment. Three novel subgroups were identified and labeled “adherers” (53.8% of samples, intercept = 385, slope = −51, high mean value, negative slope and moderate decline), “Improvers” (18.6%, intercept = 256, slope = 50, moderate mean value, positive slope and moderate growth) and “non-adherers” (27.6%, intercept = 176, slope = −31, low mean value, negative slope and slight decline). The comorbidities associated with OSA and the apnea–hypopnea index (AHI), which reflects the objective severity of the disease, did not differ significantly among the subgroups. However, “improvers” showed higher levels of daytime sleepiness (8.1 ± 6.0 vs. 12.1 ± 7.0 vs. 8.0 ± 6.1 in SWIFT, p = 0.01), reduced daytime function (4.6 ± 1.6 vs. 3.8 ± 1.6 vs. 4.2 ± 1.8 in QSQ daytime symptoms, p = 0.02), and characteristics of positive coping style (1.8 ± 0.5 vs. 1.9 ± 0.5 vs. 1.7 ± 0.5 in SCSQ positive coping index, p = 0.02). Negative emotion was more pronounced in patients with “non-adherers” (12.9 ± 3.8 vs. 13.7 ± 3.3 vs. 14.6 ± 3.5, p = 0.02 in the HADS depression dimension; 9.0 ± 6.1 vs. 9.8 ± 5.1 vs. 11.5 ± 6.3, p = 0.01 with Negative Affectivity in DS14, and 9.3 ± 6.1 vs. 10.3 ± 5.1 vs. 11.7 ± 6.5, p = 0.01 with Social Inhibition in DS14). Overall, our study demonstrated that CPAP therapy may present distinct trajectories of adherence over time in addition to the traditional binary classification. Self-reported sleep health issues (diurnal sleepiness and daytime dysfunction) as well as psychological characteristics (negative emotions and coping style) were predictors of different adherence subtypes in patients with OSA. Understanding CPAP use profiles and their predictors enable the identification of those who may require additional intervention to improve adherence and further enhance the therapeutic effect in OSA patients.

Investigation on factors related to poor CPAP adherence using machine learning: a pilot study. Sci Rep 2022; 12:19563.

Abstract
To improve patients' adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, this study aimed to clarify whether machine learning-based data analysis can identify the factors related to poor CPAP adherence (i.e., CPAP usage that does not reach four hours per day for five days a week). We developed a CPAP adherence prediction model using logistic regression and learn-to-rank machine learning with a pairwise approach. We then investigated adherence prediction performance targeting a 12-week period and the top ten factors correlating to poor CPAP adherence. The CPAP logs of 219 patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) obtained from clinical treatment at Kyoto University Hospital were used. The highest adherence prediction accuracy obtained was an F1 score of 0.864. Out of the top ten factors obtained with the highest prediction accuracy, four were consistent with already-known clinical knowledge. The factors for better CPAP adherence indicate that air leakage should be avoided, mask pressure should be kept constant, and CPAP usage duration should be longer and kept constant. The results indicate that machine learning is an adequate method for investigating factors related to poor CPAP adherence.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common type of sleep-disordered breathing associated with multiple comorbidities. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first choice for moderate-severe OSA but poor compliance brings a great challenge to its effectiveness. Telehealth interventions ease the follow-up process and allow healthcare facilities to provide consistent care. Fifth-generation wireless transmission technology has also greatly rationalized the wide use of telemedicine. Herein, we review the efficacy of the telehealth system in enhancing CPAP adherence. We recommend applying telemonitoring in clinical practice and advocate the development of a biopsychosocial telemedicine model with the integration of several interventions. Big databases and promising artificial intelligent technologies make clinical decision support systems and predictive models based on these databases possible.

Abstract
RATIONALE Untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most common treatment, but despite interventions addressing established adherence determinants, CPAP use remains poor. OBJECTIVES To determine whether physiological traits that cause OSA are associated with long-term CPAP adherence in patients with CAD. METHODS Participants in the RICCADSA trial with objective CPAP adherence (hours/night) over 2 years and analyzable raw polysomnography data were included (n=249). The physiological traits -loop gain, arousal threshold (ArTH), collapsibility and muscle compensation- were measured from polysomnography. Linear mixed models assessed the relationship between the traits and adherence. We also compared actual CPAP adherence between physiology-predicted "poor" (lowest quartile of predicted adherence) and "good" (all others) adherers. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Median (IQR) CPAP use declined from 3.2 (1.0, 5.8) to 3.0 (0.0, 5.6) hours/night over 24-mo (p<0.001). In analyses adjusted for demographics, anthropometrics, OSA characteristics and clinical comorbidities, lower ArTH was associated with worse CPAP adherence (0.7 hours/SD ArTH, p=0.021). Both high and low muscle compensation were associated with lower adherence (p=0.008). Predicted "poor" adherers exhibited markedly lower CPAP use compared to "good" adherers for up to 2 years of follow-up (group differences: 2.0 to 3.2 hours/night, p<0.003 for all). CONCLUSIONS A low ArTH as well as a very low and high muscle compensation are associated with worse long-term CPAP adherence in patients with CAD and OSA. Physiological traits, alongside established determinants, may help predict and improve CPAP adherence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the most common psychiatric disorder characterized by changes in mood, cognition, and physical symptoms. MDD has an approximate 18% prevalence of comorbid OSA. Several studies have looked into plausible mechanisms that have shown a strong relationship between OSA and MDD. OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this study was to compare suicidal ideation/attempt among MDD patients with and without a comorbid diagnosis of OSA. The secondary objective was to compare the length of stay, total hospital charge, recurrent or severity of depression, and clinical comorbidities. METHODS Data were obtained from the National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample dataset from 2006 to 2017. For data collection, we queried for all adult patients (age ≥ 18 y), with MDD as a primary indication of admission. Further, we categorized MDD patients with and without a secondary diagnosis of OSA. To reduce the imbalance in baseline characteristics between the groups, we performed one to one age-gender matching between MDD patients with and without OSA. RESULTS In the matched cohort, 79,308 patients were included in MDD with OSA and 78,792 patients in the MDD without OSA group. MDD patients with OSA were more likely to be racially white (80% vs 75%, P < 0.001), and to have more clinical comorbidities (hypertension, heart failure, obesity, and chronic lung disease). Prevalence of recurrent type of depression (77% vs 69%, P < 0.001) and moderate to severe depression (72% vs 68%, P < 0.001) was more likely in the MDD with OSA group. Further, suicidality (composite of suicidal ideation/attempt) was more in MDD with OSA (49.5%) compared to MDD without OSA (41.8%) (P < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, MDD with OSA was associated with higher odds of suicidal ideation/act compared to MDD without OSA (adjusted odds ratio: 1.27, P < 0.001). The total length of stay was longer in the MDD with OSA group (7.4 vs 6.9 d, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In our study, poorer outcomes were observed in patients with MDD and OSA. Hence, clinicians should be vigilant for symptoms of OSA in patients with recurrent MDD or treatment-resistant MDD. We recommend that a thorough suicide risk assessment should be conducted in MDD patients with OSA, and validated questionnaires should be a part of the evaluation.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To assess changes in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. METHODS Consecutive patients attending the Alfred Health sleep clinic, diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, and prescribed CPAP were recruited. The primary outcome was a change in the HADS depression (HADS-D) and anxiety (HADS-A) subscales from the time of diagnosis to follow-up. Secondary analysis compared high (> 4 hours) and low (< 4 hours) CPAP adherence groups and change in depression cases, defined by HADS-D ≥ 8, and anxiety cases, defined by HADS-A ≥ 11. RESULTS We included 108 participants in the final analysis. Adherence groups were well matched in baseline mood, sleepiness, and apnea variables. Overall age (mean ± standard deviation) was 56.1 ± 12.8 years, and there was a median (interquartile ratio) apnea-hypopnea-index of 42.7 (27.5-58.1) or median (interquartile ratio) oxygen-desaturation-index of 43.0 (26.0-74.0). The median duration of CPAP therapy was 1.3 years. The HADS-D decreased after CPAP by -1.4 (adjusted 95% confidence interval, -2.1 to -0.6; P = .001). Patients with high-CPAP adherence (n = 84) had a tendency towards a greater reduction in HADS-D (-1.5) compared with those with low-CPAP adherence (n = 24; -0.3; adjusted P = .19). Depression cases (HADS-D ≥ 8) decreased by 13.1% in the high-CPAP-adherence group (P = .03) and increased by 4.1% in the low-CPAP-adherence group (P = .71). The HADS-A decreased after CPAP by -1.8 (adjusted 95% confidence interval, -1.8 to -0.4; P = .004). There was no significant difference between adherence groups or anxiety cases (HADS-A > 11). CONCLUSIONS Specialized obstructive sleep apnea treatment with CPAP reduces depression scores, with a trend toward greater reduction in those with high CPAP adherence.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Sub-optimal use of positive airway pressure (PAP) to treat obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) continues to be a major challenge to effective treatment. Meanwhile, the individual and societal impacts of untreated OSA make effective treatment a priority. Although extensive research has been conducted into factors that impact PAP use, it is estimated that at least half of users do not use it as prescribed. However, the voice of users is notably minimal in the literature. A systematic review and qualitative metasynthesis of PAP user experience was conducted to contribute to understandings of how PAP is experienced and to inform how usage could be improved. METHODS PsycINFO, MEDLINE, CINAHL and EMBASE databases were systematically searched. Primary research findings of adult experiences using PAP that had been inductively analysed were included. Papers were critically appraised using the CASP qualitative checklist to generate a "hierarchy of evidence". Thematic synthesis was then conducted to generate analytical themes. Results were presented in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). RESULTS 25 papers reporting on over 398 people's experiences were analysed to generate 4 themes: Journey to PAP, Discomfort from and around PAP, Adapting to and using PAP, and Benefits from PAP. Author reflexivity and vulnerability to bias is acknowledged. CONCLUSIONS The findings highlight the applicability of a biopsychosocial understanding to PAP use. This metasynthesis gave voice to user experiences, revealing barriers to PAP use at a healthcare service level across the world, and suggests ways services can address these barriers.

Abstract
Background/Aims As there is insufficient evidence for a relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), we investigated whether OSA diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG) is related to GERD. Methods A total of 402 subjects was evaluated. Overnight PSG was performed and a few questionnaires on GERD, anxiety, depression, and daytime sleepiness were administered. An apnea-hypopnea index < 5 was the classification criterion for subjects without OSA. Subjects with heartburn or acid regurgitation at least once a week were classified as having GERD. Results Among the 402 subjects, 318 had OSA and 84 did not. The prevalence of GERD was 12.9% among patients with OSA and 10.7% among those without (P = 0.590). The prevalence of GERD did not correlate with OSA severity (P = 0.474). Patients with OSA with GERD had higher Stanford Sleepiness Scale (P = 0.004), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (P = 0.001), and depression (P < 0.001) scores than patients with OSA without GERD. Subjects with nocturnal gastroesophageal reflux symptoms had a higher body mass index, waist-to-height ratio, and waist circumference-to-height index than those without symptoms. Multiple logistic regression showed that higher Epworth Sleepiness Scale and depression scores were independent factors associated with GERD in patients with OSA. Conclusions The prevalence of GERD in patients with OSA was 12.9%. The prevalence of GERD did not correlate with OSA severity. Daytime sleepiness and depression seem to be associated with GERD in patients with OSA, while nocturnal reflux symptoms seem to be related to obesity in OSA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of obstructive sleep apnea in military personnel has increased over 500% since the early 2000s. Adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (PAP), an efficacious treatment, has been suboptimal. This article presents a behavioral intervention model for enhancing PAP therapy adherence and describes how the model was received by military personnel. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population comprised 254 out of 280 military personnel (93% men, mean age 39 years) who attended a 90-minute behavioral intervention class within the first 8 weeks of PAP use. They were coached on the Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes (KSA) model of PAP therapy success: Knowledge about obstructive sleep apnea and PAP treatment; Skills to develop a habitual loop for nightly PAP use; and Attitudes that address readiness, barriers, and solutions for sustaining PAP use. Participants completed a voluntary, anonymous postclass survey that inquired of their perception of various elements of the class. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. RESULTS In participants' self-rating of how much they know about PAP treatment before and after the class, their ratings indicated that they experienced a significant increase in knowledge (P < 0.0001). On the postclass survey, 77% of the participants (N = 195/254) "agree a lot" or "strongly agree" that the class gave them tools to have a successful treatment and 78% (N = 198/254) noted that it was a valuable educational experience. The Knowledge portion was rated by 79% (N = 201/254) of the participants as "quite a lot" or "extremely" beneficial. The Skills segment was rated as "quite a lot" or "extremely" beneficial by 72% (N = 183/254) of the participants. The Attitudes discussion was perceived as "quite a lot" or "extremely" beneficial by 70% (N = 178/254) of the participants. Participants' free-text responses to "what was most helpful" were generally positive. CONCLUSIONS A KSA model of behavioral intervention for enhancing PAP therapy adherence was well received by participants. Future research will assess the impact of this intervention on adherence as measured by objective indicators.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate relationships between hypoglossal nerve stimulator (HNS) adherence and the presence of anxiety, depression, and emotional distress. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of subjects with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), who had HNS implanted and activated at The Ohio State University Medical Center (OSUMC). Patient usage data from the previous 6 months was obtained from 33 patients. Adherence was defined as ≥28 h of use per week. Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were administered, and the Patient Health Questionnaire Anxiety and Depression Scale (PHQ-ADS) score was calculated for all subjects. RESULTS Sixty-five percent were adherent with average usage of 46.5±11.7 h per week vs 7.7±7.5 h per week in the non-adherent group. The average GAD-7 were 3.90±3.98 in the adherent group vs. 8.27±6.69 in the non-adherent group (p=0.049). PHQ-9 score was 6.15±4.31 vs. 10.09±7.53 (p=0.118), and PHQ-ADS was 10.05±7.49 vs. 19.20±9.80 (p=0.035). There were no statistically significant differences in age, gender, pre-treatment AHI, and post-treatment AHI between the two groups, though there was a trend to higher age in the adherent group. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated higher GAD-7 and PHQ-ADS scores in the non-adherent group compared to those who were adherent to HNS supporting that anxiety and emotional distress may contribute to HNS therapy adherence. To our knowledge, this is the first study evaluating the relationship between anxiety, depression, emotional distress, and HNS adherence. Screening patients with the GAD-7 and PHQ-9 prior to implantation may be helpful when evaluating patient adherence to therapy.

Carlier S, Bruyneel AV, Bruyneel M. Pressure adjustment is the most useful intervention for improving compliance in telemonitored patients treated with CPAP in the first 6 months of treatment. Sleep Breath 2021; 26:125-132. [PMID: 33846930 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-021-02367-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Revised: 03/14/2021] [Accepted: 04/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Telemonitoring (TMg) for patients treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is now routine care in some sleep labs. The purpose of the present study was to identify technical interventions associated with improved CPAP compliance in a real-life cohort of newly telemonitored patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during the first 6 months of treatment. METHODS All patients with moderate-to-severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15/h) who were newly treated with CPAP were included in the study and telemonitored. A group educational session was scheduled after 1 month. Technical interventions were performed at the patient's request and during scheduled visits and the impact of each intervention on CPAP therapy compliance was collected. RESULTS Between May 2018 and Dec 2019, 349 patients newly diagnosed with OSA were hospitalized in the sleep lab for CPAP titration and 212 patients were included (mean age 54.6 ± 13.1 years, mean BMI 31.7 ± 5.8 kg/m2, mean AHI 42.8 ± 22.0). TMg acceptance rate was 87%. Mean 6-month compliance was 275 ± 154 min, 13% stopped CPAP, and 17% were non-compliant. Correlations were observed between BMI (r = 0.15, p = 0.029), median and 95th percentile leaks (r = -0.23 and -0.18, p = 0.016 and 0.002), and CPAP compliance. During follow-up, 92 interventions were required, mainly for mask change (n = 80). Pressure modification (n = 16) was the only intervention that increased CPAP use > 30 min/night, p = 0.021. CONCLUSION Pressure modification was the only adaptation that significantly increased CPAP compliance during the first 6 months. Remote TMg allows providing daily, accurate, and immediate feedback that could help clinicians to confirm that the CPAP treatment is effective.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) results in chronic intermittent hypoxia leading to systemic inflammation, increases in pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-Alpha and IL-6, and increased risk for a number of life threatening medical disorders such as cardiovascular and kidney disease. METHODS A BioPlex Array was used to examined the serum levels of four cytokines also expressed in endothelial cells and/or macrophages and associated with cardiovascular and kidney disease risk. RESULTS Relative to untreated OSA patients, airways treated OSA patients had a 5.4-fold higher median level of MMP2 (p = 9.1x10-11), a 1.4-fold higher level of TWEAK (p = 1.8x10-7), a 1.7-fold higher level of CD163 (p = 1.4x10-6), but a 2.0-fold lower level of MMP3 (p = 7.9x10-7). Airway treatment resulted in levels more similar to or indistinguishable from control subjects. Both t-SNE or UMAP analysis of the global structure of these multi-dimensional data revealed two data clusters, one populated primarily with data for controls and most airways treated OSA patients and a second populated primarily with data for OSA patients. DISCUSSION We discuss a concept in which the aberrant levels of these cytokines in untreated OSA patients may represent a chronic response after years of experiencing intermittent nightly hypoxia, which attenuated the acute response to hypoxia. A balanced therapeutic correction of the aberrant levels of these cytokines may limit the progression of CVD and kidney disease in OSA patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Treatment effectiveness, in terms of health benefits, is a composite of efficacy and adherence. Oral appliance (OA) usage is mainly based on self-reports, but nowadays, objective adherence monitoring for OAs is available. This study investigated the objective OA adherence and its determinants in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS There were 29 subjects who were treated with OA; mean [SD] age 51.4 [11.1]; mean apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) [SD] 19.5 [10.0]. Anthropometric and sociodemographic parameters, AHI, daytime sleepiness, snoring, and adverse effects of OA as potential determinants were evaluated. Patients were classified as regular users if they wore OA at least 4 hours nightly 5-7 nights a week. Statistical analyses included the chi-square test, t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and linear regression analyses. RESULTS At the 3-month follow-up, 68% of subjects were regular users and at 12-month follow-up, 64%. AHI, sociodemographic parameters, or adverse effects were not associated with OA adherence. Snoring seemed to improve weakly adherence, whereas mandibular retrusion reduced the weekly use, and smoking the nightly use of OAs. LIMITATIONS The follow-up time was short, and there were a relatively small number of patients with obtainable adherence data, therefore it is difficult to establish if OA therapy alone is a successful long-term treatment option for OSA patients. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS Adherence to OA therapy is mainly the outcome of patients' subjective comfort in everyday life through eliminating social disturbance of snoring. To best meet a subject's individual treatment need and to prevent suboptimal use of OA, a patient-tailored therapy including digital wear-time documentation is recommended.

Abstract
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with mental disorders, but the strength of this association is unknown. The aim of our study was to investigate the association among OSA, depression, and anxiety in adults and to quantitatively summarize the results. Methods: A literature search in Medline, PubMed, PsycInfo, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted. Seventy-three articles were selected for study. Results: The pooled prevalence of depressive and anxious symptoms in OSA patients was 35% (95% CI, 28-41%) and 32% (95% CI, 22-42%), respectively. Conclusions: The association between OSA, anxiety, and depression indicates the value of an early diagnosis and personalized treatment of OSA to improve mental disorders conditioning compliance to therapy. These conditions share a probably bidirectional relationship.

Abstract
AbstractStudy ObjectivesPoor adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) commonly affects therapeutic response in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We aimed to determine predictors of adherence to CPAP among participants of the Sleep Apnea and cardioVascular Endpoints (SAVE) trial.MethodsSAVE was an international, randomized, open trial of CPAP plus usual care versus usual care (UC) alone in participants (45–75 years) with co-occurring moderate-to-severe OSA (≥12 episodes/h of ≥4% oxygen desaturation) and established cardiovascular (CV) disease. Baseline sociodemographic, health and lifestyle factors, OSA symptoms, and 1-month change in daytime sleepiness, as well as CPAP side effects and adherence (during sham screening, titration week, and in the first month), were entered in univariate linear regression analyses to identify predictors of CPAP adherence at 24 months. Variables with p <0.2 were assessed for inclusion in a multivariate linear mixed model with country, age, and sex included a priori and site as a random effect.ResultsSignificant univariate predictors of adherence at 24 months in 1,121 participants included: early adherence measures, improvement in daytime sleepiness at 1 month, fixed CPAP pressure, some measures of OSA severity, cardiovascular disease history, breathing pauses, and very loud snoring. While observed adherence varied between countries, adherence during sham screening, initial titration, and the first month of treatment retained independent predictive value in the multivariate model along with fixed CPAP pressure and very loud snoring.ConclusionsEarly CPAP adherence had the greatest predictive value for identifying those at highest risk of non-adherence to long-term CPAP therapy.Clinical Trial RegistrationSAVE is registered with clinicaltrials.gov (NCT00738179).

Abstract
AIMS The goals of the present study were to examine the associations between depressive symptoms, sleep problems and the risk of developing heart disease in a Canadian community sample. METHODS Baseline data were from the CARTaGENE study, a community health survey of adults aged 40-69 years in Quebec, Canada. Incidence of heart disease was examined in N = 33 455 participants by linking survey data with administrative health insurance data. Incident heart disease was identified using the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases, 9th or 10th edition (ICD-9 and ICD-10) diagnostic codes for heart disease. Sleep problems were assessed with diagnostic codes for sleep disorders within the 2 years preceding the baseline assessment. Average sleep duration was assessed by self-report. Depressive symptoms were assessed with the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire. RESULTS In total, 2448 (7.3%) participants developed heart disease over an average follow-up period of 4.6 years. Compared to those without depressive symptoms and with no sleep disorders, those with elevated depressive symptoms and a sleep disorder (HR = 2.60, 95% CI 1.83-3.69), those with depressive symptoms alone (HR = 1.40, 95% CI 1.25-1.57) and those with sleep disorders alone (HR = 1.33, 95% CI 1.03-1.73) were more likely to develop heart disease. Test of additive interaction suggested a synergistic interaction between depressive symptoms and sleep disorders (synergy index = 2.17 [95% CI 1.01-4.64]). When sleep duration was considered, those with long sleep duration and elevated depressive symptoms were more likely to develop heart disease than those with long sleep alone (HR = 1.77, 95% CI 1.37-2.28; and HR = 1.16, 95% CI 0.99-1.36, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Depression and diagnosed sleep disorders or long sleep duration are independent risk factors for heart disease and are associated with a stronger risk of heart disease when occurring together.

Abstract
Effective treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is primarily determined by adherence to the selected intervention. The most common treatment pathways are mechanical devices such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or a mandibular advancement device, often combined with weight loss therapy. Weight reduction is usually an adjunct therapy but may be used as a secondary treatment in mild-to-moderate OSA when mechanical treatments cannot be tolerated. To enhance the uptake and adherence to treatment, clinicians may assess patient's personality profiles and psychological readiness. There is a paucity of evidence related to these aspects of patient care and this article outlines the current research in relation to patient presentation, treatment uptake and barriers, and methods to enhance treatment adherence.This article disseminates personality traits observed in patients with OSA and identifies vulnerable groups who may require additional support to increase treatment adherence. It summarises the current evidence for treatment barriers in patients with OSA. Low self-efficacy in relation to CPAP and weight loss adherence will be explored as well as the potential to predict treatment responders and enhance therapeutic uptake and adherence. Extending personality traits into research and clinical practice could potentially result in more successful CPAP therapy and weight loss treatment outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains the greatest obstacle to effective treatment of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). The purpose of the present study was to identify if mindfulness is associated with CPAP adherence of OSAHS patients. METHODS Newly diagnosed patients with OSAHS completed questionnaires including the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and had experienced an overnight CPAP titration. Participants returned to the sleep center for a scheduled research visit after 30-day CPAP treatment at home. Demographics, disease severity, and device-related variables were collected. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to build a multivariate predictive model for the outcome variable, mean daily CPAP use over 30 days. RESULTS Mean CPAP use was 4.7 ± 2.4 h/night for the study sample of 100 patients and 67% were classified as CPAP adherent. MAAS scale was 45.2 ± 18.8, whereas only 13% of patients expressed anxiety or depression. MAAS scales were significantly higher in the CPAP adherent group compared to the non-adherent group (49.5 ± 14.5 vs 40.8 ± 14.2, p < 0.001) with mean hours of daily CPAP use over 30 days for the adherent group (5.7 ± 1.4 h/night) compared to the non-adherence group (3.0 ± 1.7 h/night). There were differences between the two groups in HADS depression, AHI, lowest SaO2, optimal CPAP pressure, residual AHI, mean days over 30 days, and mean daily CPAP use in the first week. Univariate analyses identified an unadjusted association between mean daily CPAP use over 30 days and HADS depression, MAAS, AHI, lowest SaO2, optimal pressure, and mean daily CPAP use in the first week. Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated only MAAS and AHI were associated (p < 0.05) with mean daily CPAP use. MAAS and AHI uniquely explained 10.1% (p < 0.001) and 8.7% (p < 0.001) of mean daily CPAP use respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study found a significant independent association of dispositional mindfulness with CPAP adherence. As a novel factor, mindfulness may play an important role in CPAP adherence.

OBJECTIVE To assess the predictive factors at 12 month and 10 year adherence to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). METHODS Retrospective data analysis of patients starting CPAP between 2006 and 2009. After 12 months (T1) from start and during a 10 year follow up the following data were recorded: Body Mass Index (BMI), Time of night use, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score. RESULTS Out of 315 patients, 147 fulfilled inclusion criteria and were evaluated. According to CPAP nighttime use during the first year, patients were divided into two groups: those using the device less < 4.5 h (Poor Adherence (PA): 61 patients), and those using ≥4.5 h: (Good Adherence (GA): 86 patients). Patients of PA group were significantly younger, had greater BMI and required more unscheduled visits during the first year. After 12 months, there were 11 (7.5%) dropouts, all in PA group. Patients using the nasal mask showed a greater prevalence among GA as compared to those using the oro-nasal mask (76.5% vs 57.8% respectively, p = 0.04). After 10 years 83 out of 147 (56.4%) patients were still under CPAP, 51 (59.3% of GA) and 32 (52.4% of PA group) respectively. Dropouts were significantly more frequent during the first 5 years (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION Ten years after prescription the majority of patients with OSA undergoing periodical controls, still perform CPAP independent of their adherence to therapy after one year of use. Use of nasal mask may be associate to better adherence.

Abstract
Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and / or Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) often complain about sleepiness, fatigue, anxiety and depression. However, common screening questionnaires, like Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) have not been previous evaluated in patients with overlap-coexisting COPD and OSA-syndrome versus patients with OSA alone. Our study compared ESS, FSS and HADS between patients with overlap syndrome and patients with OSA, before and after treatment with Continuous Positive Airways Pressure (CPAP). We examined 38 patients with coexisting COPD and OSA versus 38 patients with OSA-only and 28 subjects without respiratory disease, serving as controls. All patients underwent pulmonary function tests (PFTs), oximetry and overnight polysomnography and completed the questionnaires, before and after 3 months of CPAP therapy. The two patient groups did not differ significantly in terms of age, Body Mass Index (BMI), neck, waist and hip circumferences, and arterial blood pressure values. They also had similar comorbidities. They differed significantly, as expected, in PFTs (Forced Vital Capacity-FVC, 2.53±0.73 vs 3.08±0.85 lt, p = 0.005, Forced Expiratory Volume in 1sec-FEV1, 1.78±0.53 vs 2.60±0.73 lt/min, p<0.001) and in daytime oximetry (94.75±2.37 vs 96.13±1.56%, p = 0.007). ESS, HADS-Anxiety and HADS-Depression scores did not differ statistically significant between these two groups, whereas overlap syndrome patients expressed significantly more fatigue (FSS) than OSA-only patients, a finding that persisted even after 3 months of CPAP therapy. We conclude that sleepiness, anxiety and depression were similar in both groups, whereas fatigue was more prominent in patients with overlap syndrome than in sleep apneic patients and did not ameliorate after treatment.

Abstract
Purpose of the study Periodic leg movements (PLMs) are found in 30% of patients suffering from OSA. Under CPAP, we observed that PLMs can increase, decrease, or remain unchanged. The predictors of these changes are not well established. Objective To determine the predictors of PLMs change under CPAP and its impact on long-term adherence. Materials and method The patients were referred to the sleep laboratory for snoring or sleepiness. A single PSG night has been performed before and after CPAP treatment. Data on medication used, comorbidities and ferritin level were collected. Results A total of 160 patients were recruited with a severe OSA. About 32.5% (52/160) patients had emerging PLM i.e. that appeared after the disappearance of respiratory events. By comparing patients with emerging-PLMs to others, we found that only the blood ferritin level was significantly different between groups. Moreover, after one-year follow-up, a significant difference in adherence and long-term compliance was observed between patients without PLM at both screening and CPAP polysomnographies or emerging PLM at the second study (56%) vs. patients with baseline PLM, whether PLM remained stable or decreased under CPAP treatment (75%) (p-value 0.028). Serum ferritin and presence of diabetes mellitus predicted the evolution of PLM observed. Patients with low ferritin levels demonstrated an increase of PLM after initiation of nasal CPAP treatment. Conclusion The emergence of PLM negatively impacts long-term adherence to nasal CPAP treatment in OSA. Blood ferritin level is a predictor of the evolution of PLM under CPAP therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Suboptimal CPAP adherence in OSA clinical trials involving predominantly white men limits interpretability and generalizability. We examined predictors of CPAP adherence in a clinical trial enriched with minorities. METHODS The Sleep Apnea Stress Study-a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial of patients with moderate-to-severe OSA-included participants with complete 8-week adherence data (n = 138). Overnight 14-channel polysomnography, anthropometry, socioeconomic status, mood questionnaires, and week 1 CPAP adherence were analyzed via adjusted linear models relative to CPAP adherence (average minutes per night usage). RESULTS Overall, age was 51 ± 12 years, 55% of the patients were male, 55% were white, BMI was 36.7 ± 7.7 kg/m2, and median apnea-hypopnea index was 20 (interquartile range, 13-37). In univariate analyses adherence increased with randomization to active CPAP (81 min; 95% CI, 30-132), increasing age (35 min/decade; 95% CI, 13-57), white race (78 min, 95% CI, 26-129), and per hour of week 1 adherence (41 min, 95% CI, 32-51). Active CPAP (48 min, 95% CI, 6-91), increasing age (27 min/decade, 95% CI, 10-44), and higher 1-week adherence (36 min/h, 95% CI, 27-46) were significantly associated with improved adherence in multivariable analyses. Subgroup analyses showed stronger associations of adherence with treatment arm in whites and increasing age in minorities. Increasing age and white race were more strongly associated with adherence in women. CONCLUSIONS In this trial with near-even sex distribution and high ethnic minority representation, we identified CPAP assignment, increasing age, and early adherence to be associated with improved adherence in addition to sex-specific and race-specific adherence differences. These results can inform targeted clinical trial adherence optimization strategies. TRIAL REGISTRY ClinicalTrials.gov; No.: NCT00607893; URL: www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
Background Compliance with CPAP treatment for OSAS is not reliably predicted by the severity of symptoms or physiological variables. We examined a range of factors which could be measured before CPAP initiation to look for predictors of compliance. Methods This was a prospective cohort-study of CPAP treatment for OSAS, recording; socio-economic status, education, type D personality and clinician’s prediction of compliance. Results We recruited 265 subjects, of whom 221 were still using CPAP at 6 months; median age 53 years, M: F, 3.4:1, ESS 15 and pre-treatment ODI 21/h. Median compliance at 6 months was 5.6 (3.4– 7.1) hours/night with 73.3% of subjects using CPAP ≥4 h/night. No association was found between compliance and different socio-economic classes for people in work, type D personality, education level, sex, age, baseline ESS or ODI. The clinician’s initial impression could separate groups of good and poor compliers but had little predictive value for individual patients. Compared to subjects who were working, those who were long term unemployed had a lower CPAP usage and were more likely to use CPAP < 4 h a night (OR 4.6; p value 0.011). A high Beck Depression Index and self-reported anxiety also predicted poor compliance. Conclusions In our practice there is no significant association between CPAP compliance with socio-economic status, education or personality type. Long term unemployed or depressed individuals may need more intensive support to gain the optimal benefit from CPAP.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were: (1) to use a standardized psychiatric interview, conducted by a trained psychologist to assess the prevalence of depression among patients with untreated OSA, and (2) to identify if OSA severity or other comorbid disorders (insomnia, hypertension, and diabetes) are related to depression among patients with untreated OSA. METHODS Participants were newly diagnosed patients with OSA (n = 284) waiting to start positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment. The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) was used to assess depression. RESULTS Overall, 15.5% of the sample met the diagnosis for dysthymia. Women had a significantly higher prevalence (29.5% versus 11.7% among men, p < 0.001). The prevalence of major depression was 6% in the overall sample and there was no difference in the prevalence among sexes (5.8% among men versus 6.6 % among women). Obesity, daytime sleepiness, low physical activity, initial and late insomnia, low quality of life, and sleep medication and antidepressant use were all related to depression, whereas OSA severity, as measured by apnea-hypopnea index or oxygen desaturation index, was not. Daytime sleepiness, initial insomnia, and sleep medication use were the strongest predictors of depression in multivariable analyses. CONCLUSIONS Sleep medication use, daytime sleepiness, and symptoms of initial insomnia were independently related to depression but OSA severity was not. Increased awareness of the relationship between depression and OSA and the appropriate use of assessment tools might substantially improve diagnostic accuracy as well as treatment outcome for both disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to describe changes in day- and nighttime symptoms and the adherence to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) during the first 3-month nCPAP therapy among newly diagnosed patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAS) and to identify the effect of adherence on the changes in day- and nighttime symptoms during the first 3 months. METHODS Newly diagnosed OSAS patients were consecutively recruited from March to August 2013. Baseline clinical information and measures of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Zung's Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at baseline and the end of 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th week of therapy were collected. Twelve weeks' adherence was calculated as the average of each 3-week period. Mixed model was used to explore the effect of adherence to nCPAP therapy on ESS, FSS, SDS and PSQI in each 3-week phase. RESULTS Seventy-six patients completed the 12-week follow-up. The mixed-effects models showed that under the control of therapy phase adherence in the range of <4 hours per night, using nCPAP could independently improve daytime sleepiness, in terms of ESS (coefficient, [95% confidence interval] unit; -4.49 [-5.62, -3.36]). Adherence at 4-6 hours per night could independently improve all variables of day- and nighttime symptoms included in this study, namely ESS -6.69 (-7.40, -5.99), FSS -6.02 (-7.14, -4.91), SDS -2.40 (-2.95, -1.85) and PSQI -0.20 (-0.52, -0.12). Further improvement in symptoms could be achieved at ≥6 hours per night using nCPAP, which was ESS -8.35 (-9.26, -7.44), FSS -10.30 (-11.78, -8.83), SDS -4.42 (-5.15, -3.68) and PSQI -0.40 (-0.82, -0.02). The interaction between adherence level and therapy phase was not significant in day- and nighttime symptoms. CONCLUSION The effect of adherence on the above-mentioned symptoms is stable through the first 3 months. Under the control of therapy phase, the nCPAP therapy effectively improves day- and nighttime symptoms with ≥4 hours adherence, and the patients can achieve a further improvement with ≥6 hours adherence.

Dai Y, Li X, Zhang X, Wang S, Sang J, Tian X, Cao H. Prevalence and Predisposing Factors for Depressive Status in Chinese Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea: A Large-Sample Survey. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0149939. [PMID: 26934192 PMCID: PMC4774961 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0149939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2015] [Accepted: 02/08/2016] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Recently, there are few studies reporting on depressive status and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in China. A large-sample survey was to be performed to explore the prevalence of depressive status and related factors in Chinese patients with OSA. METHODS From among a randomly-selected group of OSA patients, 1,327 met inclusion criteria. After screening with the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), patients were assigned to OSA without depressive status (control group, n = 698) and OSA with depressive status (n = 629) groups. Using chi-squared testing, the correlation analyses between the depressive status and OSA patient demographic and clinical variables were tested. Then depression-related risk factors in OSA patients were analysed using stepwise linear regression analysis. The effects of family and social factors on depressive status in OSA patients were investigated using Mann-Whitney U (one of nonparametric test). RESULTS The prevalence of depressive status was 47.4% in OSA patients. Depressive status was significantly associated with female gender, single status, Family Burden Scale of Disease (FBS), Family APGAR Index (APGAR), apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI), and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). Stepwise linear regression analysis further indicated that single status, hypoxemia, APGAR, AHI, PSSS, AHI, and FBS were all risk factors for depressive status in OSA patients. The total of the FBS score and three of its sub-factors scores (family daily activities, family relationships and mental health of family members) were higher, and the total of the APGAR score and two of its sub-factors scores (adaptability and affection) were lower in OSA with depressive status compared with the control group. Besides, the total score for the PSSS and scores for its two sub-factors (family support and social support) were all lower in OSA patients with depressive status than those of the control group. CONCLUSIONS Depressive status has high comorbid rate in Chinese OSA patients and is significantly associated with single status, apnoea-hypopnea index, hypoxemia, family and social supports.

A Comparative Analysis of Sleep Disordered Breathing in Active Duty Service Members with and without Combat-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. J Clin Sleep Med 2015; 11:1393-401. [PMID: 26156954 DOI: 10.5664/jcsm.5272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2015] [Accepted: 05/29/2015] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are frequently co-occurring illnesses. The purpose of this study was to determine whether comorbid PTSD/OSA is associated with increased PTSD symptoms or decreased OSA severity compared to PTSD or OSA alone in recently deployed Active Duty Service Members (ADSM). METHODS Cross-sectional observational study of ADSM who returned from combat within 24 months. Participants underwent an attended diagnostic polysomnogram and were assessed for PTSD, depression, combat exposure severity, sleepiness, and sleep quality with validated clinical instruments. RESULTS Our study included 109 military personnel who returned from a combat deployment within 24 months with a mean age of 34.3 ± 8.23 and BMI of 30.8 ± 3.99. Twenty-four participants had PTSD/OSA, 68 had OSA, and 17 had PTSD. Mean PTSD Checklist- Military Version (PCL-M) scores were 62.0 ± 8.95, 60.5 ± 4.73, and 32.5 ± 8.95 in PTSD/OSA, PTSD, and OSA, respectively. The mean AHI was 16.9 ± 15.0, 18.9 ± 17.0, and 1.73 ± 1.3 for those with PTSD/OSA, OSA, and PTSD. PTSD symptoms and OSA severity in military personnel with comorbid PTSD/OSA were not significantly different from those with PTSD or OSA alone. On multivariate analysis, BMI was a significant predictor of OSA (OR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.04-1.44) and age trended towards significance. Depression, but not OSA severity, was associated with PTSD symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Following recent combat exposure, comorbid PTSD/OSA is not associated with increased PTSD symptoms or decreased severity of OSA. Early evaluation after traumatic exposure for comorbid OSA is indicated in PTSD patients with sleep complaints given the high co-occurrence and adverse clinical implications.

Abstract
Psychiatric disorders and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are often comorbid. However, there is limited information on the impact of psychotropic medications on OSA symptoms, on how to manage psychiatric pharmacotherapy in patients presenting with OSA, or on the effectiveness and challenges of OSA treatments in patients with comorbid mental illness. As such, the objective of this article is to provide an overview of some epidemiological aspects of OSA and treatment considerations in the management of OSA in individuals with comorbid psychiatric disorders. Predefined keywords were used to search for relevant literature in electronic databases. Data show that OSA is particularly prevalent in patients with psychiatric disorders. The medical care that patients with these comorbidities require can be challenging, as some of the psychiatric medications used by these patients may exacerbate OSA symptoms. As such, continuous positive airway pressure continues to be the first-line treatment, even in patients with psychiatric comorbidity. However, more controlled studies are required, particularly to determine continuous positive airway pressure compliance in patients with mental illness, the impact of treating OSA on psychiatric symptoms, and the impact of the use of psychotropic medications on OSA symptoms.

Abstract
Sleep-disordered breathing, the commonest form of which is obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasingly recognised as a treatable cause of morbidity. It shares many risk factors with psychiatric disorders including behaviours such as smoking and physical comorbidity. Many symptoms of the two overlap, leaving OSA often undetected and undertreated. In the few studies that assess the two, OSA is commonly comorbid with depression (17-45%) and schizophrenia (up to 55%) and possibly bipolar. There is some limited evidence that treating OSA can ameliorate psychiatric symptoms. Some psychotropics, such as narcotics, cause sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), whilst weight-inducing neuroleptics may exacerbate it. An extreme form of SDB, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), is a risk in mothers with substance abuse. Being aware of these common comorbidities may help improve psychiatric patient's treatment and quality of life.

Abstract
Sleep issues are common in people with psychiatric disorders, and the interaction is complex. Sleep disorders, particularly insomnia, can precede and predispose to psychiatric disorders, can be comorbid with and exacerbate psychiatric disorders, and can occur as part of psychiatric disorders. Sleep disorders can mimic psychiatric disorders or result from medication given for psychiatric disorders. Impairment of sleep and of mental health may be different manifestations of the same underlying neurobiological processes. For the primary care physician, key tools include recognition of potential sleep effects of psychiatric medications and familiarity with treatment approaches for insomnia in depression and anxiety.
