Long-term prediction of adherence to continuous positive air pressure therapy for the treatment of moderate/severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

Abstract: In our cohort of patients with moderate/severe OSAS who were prescribed CPAP therapy, long-term compliance to treatment was present in less than half of the patients. Adherence was positively associated with OSAS severity and negatively associated with cigarette smoking and previous cardiovascular events at baseline.

“…There is controversy and lack of agreement as to the best predictors of adherence to CPAP therapy in patients with OSA. Some variables, such as sleepiness, age, gender and OSA severity, have been reported as predictors in several studies (Baratta et al., ; Campos‐Rodriguez et al., ; Collen et al., ; Gagnadoux et al., ; Kohler et al., ; Krieger et al., ; Meurice, ; Pelletier‐Fleury et al., ; Sin et al., ; Sucena et al., ). In our study, the only baseline variable associated with poorer adherence at both cut‐off points was the presence of a previous stroke.…”

“…As in other long‐term therapies, adherence to CPAP is essential to attain any of its beneficial effects, but it is also difficult to achieve. Adherence rates range between 30% and 85% depending on the criteria used to define adherence, the duration of the follow‐up and the patient profile (Baratta et al., ; Florés et al., ; Furukawa et al., ; Jacobsen et al., ; Kohler et al., ; Krieger et al., ; McArdle et al., ; Pelletier‐Fleury et al., ; Sin et al., ). Patients coming from sleep clinics may have better adherence than those recruited from cardiovascular settings, because the former seek medical assistance for their sleep disorder and are usually more symptomatic than the latter (Chai‐Coetzer et al., ).…”

“…Patients referred for CPAP treatment want clear information about their condition (Broström et al., ). Early dropouts from CPAP treatment are common, as well as poor long‐term adherence (Baratta et al., ). Shared decision making is desirable because it generally is accepted as “a right”, and has, in other contexts, been shown to help patients to become adherent.…”

“…Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the treatment of choice for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (Epstein et al., ). Despite reduced symptoms and lowered risk of negative health consequences (Fu et al., ), adherence tends in many cases to be poor (Baratta et al., ). Early dropouts are frequent, and communication between patients and healthcare personnel (Broström, Fridlund, Hedberg, Nilsen, & Ulander, ) is important during the initiation of CPAP to prevent and intervene against side‐effects (Broström, Pakpour, Nilsen, Gardner, & Ulander, ; Ulander, Johansson, Ewaldh, Svanborg, & Broström, ).…”
