Targeted population:
Sleep apnea patients at low cardiovascular risk newly treated by CPAP
Hypothesis:
Six months CPAP compliance might be greater in the telemonitoring arm compared to usual CPAP care.
Main goal:
To compare 6-months CPAP compliance when Sleep Apnea patients at low cardiovascular risk are randomly allocated to usual CPAP care or a multidisciplinary and coordinated follow-up based on a telemonitoring web platform.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Sleep Apnea Syndrome Low Cardiovascular Risk | Device: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in sleep apnea patients | Phase 4 |
Study procedures:
The telemonitoring system will involve respiratory physicians, home care providers and include regular assessments of oximetry, CPAP compliance, side effects and residual events.
Secured data transmission to medical staff computers and secured websites will allow easy telemonitoring. Automatic algorithms have been built-up for early adjustment of CPAP treatment in case of side effects, leaks and persistent residual events.
An interim analysis will be performed when 200 patients will be included.

- Change from baseline CPAP compliance at 6 months [ Time Frame: day 0 and month 6 ]CPAP compliance evolution by comparing baseline and 6 months measurements. CPAP compliance is assessed at month 6 in the two groups.
- Subjective Sleepiness [ Time Frame: inclusion and month 6 ]Sleepiness is assessed with Epworth Sleepiness Scale at inclusion and month 6 in the two groups
- Fatigue [ Time Frame: inclusion and month 6 ]Fatigue is assessed with Pichot Scale at inclusion and month 6 in the two groups
- Quality of Life [ Time Frame: inclusion and month 6 ]Quality of life is assessed with SF-12 questionnaire at inclusion and month 6 in the two groups
- Health status [ Time Frame: inclusion and month 6 ]Health status is assessed with EQ-5D questionnaire at inclusion and month 6 in the two groups
- Cost analysis [ Time Frame: month 6 ]Cost analysis will include all key resources associated with the telemonitoring intervention and related health (referrals, consultations, resource use)
