Abstract Introduction Adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may delay cognitive decline in older adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI), defined as deficits in memory that do not significantly impact daily functioning. The aim of this analysis was to identify predictors of CPAP adherence in this population. Methods Data are from Memories 2, an ongoing multisite clinical trial on the effect of treatment of moderate to severe OSA on cognitive decline in older adults 65-85 years of age who have amnestic MCI. Unadjusted and adjusted linear models were used to examine predictors of mean hours of CPAP use at 3 months. Predictors were age, sex (male/female), race (White/Non-White), education (more than high school, less than high school), Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and CPAP Comfort and Confidence scores at 7 days. Collinearity in the adjusted model for CPAP use at 3 months was examined using the variance inflation factor. Results Of 57 participants, most were male (54%), White (72%), with a mean age of 66.3 years (SD: 6.1). Mean AHI in this sample was 35.1 (SD: 19.9), with mean daily hours of CPAP use at 3 months 5.3 hours (SD: 2.3). Adjusted linear model results demonstrated that younger age (β=-0.13, SE=0.04, p=0.0032), White race (β=2.56, SE=0.58, p<0.0001), and higher 7-day CPAP Confidence score (β=0.48, SE=0.17, p=0.0086) were significantly associated with CPAP use at 3 months. Sex, education, AHI, ESS, and CPAP comfort were not statistically significant predictors of adherence. Conclusion Tailored interventions to increase self-efficacy during the first 7 days of CPAP treatment, especially in Non-Whites and those older than 74 years, may improve long-term CPAP adherence in older adults with amnestic MCI.

Abstract Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the common causes of hypertension. Therefore, we examine the longitudinal effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy and its adherence on blood pressure among OSA patients. Methods One thousand two hundred ninety-three (male 1,130, female 163) patients, who were diagnosed with OSA and underwent CPAP therapy were investigated for longitudinal changes (24 months observation period) in the levels of blood pressure and body weight. The longitudinal analyses were performed by mixed effect model. Multiple Imputation with Chained Equations was also used to impute missing data. Good CPAP adherence is defined as more than 70% of the time using CPAP more than 4hours at all the measuring. Poor CPAP adherence is defined as less than 70% of the time using CPAP more than 4hours at all the measuring time points. Results The patient group with good CPAP adherences), compared to poor CPAP adherence, showed significant diastolic blood pressure reduction in 24 months follow-up period (β=-0.13, p=0.03) despite a lack of significant weight loss (β=-0.02, p=0.59). However, no significant associations were found between systolic blood pressure and CPAP adherence (β=-0.14, p=0.11). Conclusion CPAP therapy was found to have a longitudinal effect on diastolic blood pressure despite a lack of significant weight loss. Support

Automated Feedback

Abstract Introduction Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is an effective treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in children. However, adherence to CPAP therapy is often suboptimal. CPAP telemonitoring with automated feedback messaging has been shown to improved adherence in adults with OSA, but has not been widely studied as an intervention for children with OSA. This pilot study was conducted to investigate if feedback messaging could similarly improve CPAP adherence in children. Methods Pediatric OSA subjects (ages 11–17) with poor CPAP compliance or newly prescribed CPAP were selected from an outpatient Sleep Medicine clinic to receive weekly text messages with scripted feedback on CPAP adherence. Patients already meeting adherence goals were excluded from the study. Parental consent was obtained and participants were given the option to have text messages sent to parents or directly to the patient. Adherence was monitored over a four-month intervention period and compared to pre-intervention usage as a self-matched control. Total hours of use per month and numbers of days used per month were collected through daily remote CPAP monitoring. Average hours per use and average daily use per 30-day period were additional adherence measurements calculated. Data was analyzed using two-tailed paired T-tests with level of significance set at p<0.05. Results There was no significant change in CPAP adherence (p>.05) after initiation of weekly feedback messaging for the five patients included in the study. No participant, before or after intervention, met the Medicare definition of compliance (≥4hr nightly use for ≥ 70% of nights) and average adherence declined following intervention. Conclusion In a small pilot study, weekly feedback text messaging did not improve CPAP adherence in pediatric patients with OSA. This finding contrasts with larger studies in adult patients with OSA that have demonstrated improved CPAP adherence with automated feedback messaging. With the increasing use of telemedicine for CPAP follow-up, new strategies to successfully utilize this approach in the pediatric population may be needed. Support (if any) None.
