Background: Many factors contribute to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) nonadherence, affecting health care burden. The original CPAP-SAVER study enrolled 66 CPAP-naive participants and showed high 1-month adherence and significantly higher apnea beliefs and CPAP attitude for the intervention group.
Purpose And Methods: Thirty-three participants from the original CPAP-SAVER study were recruited for a 3-year follow-up to determine adherence, examine the intervention effect, and identify adherence-associated factors.
Results: Adherence rates dropped to 54.5% at 3 years, with a significant decrease in CPAP use hours (t = -2.37, p = .024) and nights (t = -4.05, p < .001). Group differences in beliefs and attitude were not sustained; however, beliefs (r = 0.57) and attitude (r = 0.44) were significant factors associated with adherence. Life satisfaction was significantly higher at present compared with before wearing CPAP (t = 5.17, p < .001).
Implications For Practice: The authors recommend intervention with a focus on apnea beliefs, CPAP attitude, and long-term support to promote CPAP adherence. Focus on CPAP attitude and beliefs and enhanced support early in the obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment trajectory may promote long-term adherence and subsequently reduce the health care burden of OSA disease.

Background: The repeated airway obstructions in the common disorder Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) cause health risks. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), the standard treatment, faces adherence challenges. Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) have been used successfully for mild to moderate OSA, as a good alternative for these patients.

Background: The ever-increasing number of patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and treated by long-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) overstretches conventional follow-up pathways. New approaches to the management of CPAP-treated patient follow-up are needed to strike a balance between remote monitoring through digital technologies and in-person patient-healthcare-professional contacts. Focusing on the reshaping of the management of care pathways of CPAP-treated patients, with a specific focus on telemonitoring platforms, we aimed to review the evidence on how digital medicine and artificial intelligence (AI) tools are facilitating patient phenotyping and triage, risk stratification and the allocation of resources between the various healthcare professionals for an optimal follow-up of CPAP-treated patients.

Introduction: Studies have shown varying patient adherence to long-term non-invasive positive airway pressure therapy (nPAP). We aimed to investigate adherence to long-term nPAP in a Danish cohort of patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency and/or sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) due to neuromuscular disorders (NMD), obesity-hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) or other reasons.
Methods: This cohort study included all adult patients with association to the Respiratory Center East treated with long-term nPAP: bilevel (BiPAP), automatic (APAP) and continuous (CPAP) or adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) with a remote monitoring system in April 2022.

Background: Respiratory care departments are experiencing an increased need to demonstrate value in the care they deliver. Value efficiency is a concept that incorporates the value of individual treatments into the normal operations of a department. The purpose of this study was to describe respiratory care leaders' attitudes about the value of services provided by respiratory care departments.
