Background: A large number of symptomatic individuals with central sleep apnea (CSA) in clinical practice have an indication for adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) therapy.
Research Question: What are the effects of ASV therapy on sleep quality and PROMs in patients with CSA across a range of devices and indications.
Methods: This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study was conducted in France and enrolled participants from June 2017 to February 2020.
Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSA) in pregnant women is an under-diagnosed but common condition, due to the numerous physiological changes favoring upper airway collapse. Risk factors such as significant weight gain during the 1st trimester, maternal age and parity should be systematically investigated. Diagnosis is made by sleep recording.

- Sleep deprivation is prevalent in ICUs and can negatively impact respiratory performance, yet its effects on critically ill patients' outcomes are not well-studied.
- The study analyzed sleep patterns in 131 patients using polysomnography to see how sleep disturbances relate to clinical outcomes, particularly focusing on those with acute respiratory failure.
- Findings showed that while deep sleep is maintained in certain cases, REM sleep is often disrupted, and a complete lack of REM sleep correlates with worse clinical outcomes in patients.
Introduction: To assess frequency and methods of PID (primary immune deficiency) screening among patients with bronchiectasis by pneumologists in clinical practice.
Methods: All the patients hospitalized in the department of pneumology of the Poitiers University Hospital between April 2013 and April 2020 with a diagnosis of bronchiectasis on chest computerized tomography were included. Patients aged 70 and over and those with already known PID were excluded.
Background And Objective: Variants in surfactant genes SFTPC or ABCA3 are responsible for interstitial lung disease (ILD) in children and adults, with few studies in adults.
Methods: We conducted a multicentre retrospective study of all consecutive adult patients diagnosed with ILD associated with variants in SFTPC or ABCA3 in the French rare pulmonary diseases network, OrphaLung. Variants and chest computed tomography (CT) features were centrally reviewed.
