“…This also supposes that it is important not to forget these symptoms when recording the clinical history of patients with OSA, especially elderly ones. There was thus a statistically significant improvement in the value of the ESS, although once again this test has not been specifically validated in elderly populations and so the results must be approached with caution [29].…”

Almost all the information about the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) comes from clinical trials involving only middle-aged patients. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of CPAP treatment in elderly patients with severe OSA on clinical, quality-of-life and neurocognitive spheres.We performed an open-label, randomised, multicentre clinical trial in a consecutive clinical cohort of 224 elderly (⩾70 years old) patients with confirmed severe OSA (apnoea-hypopnea index ⩾30) randomised to receive CPAP (n=115) or no CPAP (n=109) for 3 months. A sleep study was performed by either full polysomnography or respiratory polygraphy. CPAP titration was performed by an autoCPAP device. The primary endpoint was quality of life (Quebec Sleep Questionnaire) and secondary endpoints included sleeprelated symptoms, presence of anxiety/depression, office-based blood pressure and some neurocognitive tests.The mean±SD age was 75.5±3.9 years. The CPAP group achieved a greater improvement in all qualityof-life domains ( p<0.001; effect size: 0.41-0.98), sleep-related symptoms ( p<0.001; effect size 0.31-0.91) as well as anxiety ( p=0.016; effect size 0.51) and depression ( p<0.001; effect size: 0.28) indexes and some neurocognitive tests (digit symbol test ( p=0.047; effect size: 0.20) and Trail Making Test A ( p=0.029; effect size: 0.44)) in an intention-to-treat analysis.In conclusion, CPAP treatment resulted in an improvement in quality of life, sleep-related symptoms, anxiety and depression indexes and some neurocognitive aspects in elderly people with severe OSA. @ERSpublications CPAP is effective in elderly patients with severe OSA in clinical and neurocognitive terms improving quality of life

“…Objective complementary examinations for the diagnosis of GERD at follow‐up were not performed. Spanish‐validated versions of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) 21, the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) 22, and the Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (MiniAQLQ) 23 were used to assess daytime sleepiness, asthma control, and asthma‐related quality of life, respectively.…”

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.
