Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify factors predicting ongoing driving risks related to sleepiness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) undergoing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 5,300 patients, assessing incidents of near-misses and accidents before and after at least 90 days of CPAP therapy.
- Findings revealed that ongoing sleepiness while driving and poor treatment adherence (less than 4 hours per night) significantly increased the likelihood of near-misses and accidents, highlighting the need for thorough follow-ups by health professionals.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), the first line therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is considered effective in reducing daytime sleepiness. Its efficacy relies on adequate adherence, often defined as 4 hours per night. However, this binary threshold may limit our understanding of the causal effect of CPAP adherence and daytime sleepiness, and a multilevel approach for CPAP adherence can be more appropriate.

Existing digital tools have been scaled up to address this issue. Every night telemonitoring data on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device use, the first-line therapy for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), is collected worldwide.

The aim of this study is to explore main differences in the clinical response to CPAP treatment in OVS compared to OSA alone.
Study Design And Methods: Using prospective data from the French National Sleep Apnea Registry, we conducted an observational study among 6320 patients with moderate-to-severe OSA, available spirometry, and at least one follow-up visit under CPAP therapy.
