Objective: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the preferred treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, compliance with CPAP therapy varies among studies, and studies on its predictors are insufficient in Korea. This study aimed to identify factors that predict compliance with CPAP therapy in patients with OSA.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records, polysomnography (PSG) records, and self-report questionnaires of patients w ith OSA. Criteria for compliance was the use of CPAP devices for ≥4 h per night for ≥70% of the consecutive 30 nights (i.e., 21 days) during the first 3 months of treatment initiation. The patients were classified into two groups: compliant and non-compliant. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the clinical factors and PSG parameters associated with CPAP compliance.

Results: Of the 188 participants, 80 were classified into the compliant group and 108 into the non-compliant group. The ratios of stage N1 (p=0.011) and health insurance coverage (p=0.007) were significantly associated with compliance with CPAP, with an explanatory power of 18.6% (R2=0.186, p<0.001).

Conclusion: Stage N1 ratio and health insurance coverage were significant predictors of CPAP compliance. It is necessary to confirm whether the relationship between a high stage N1 ratio and compliance can be reproduced in a larger sample and in individuals from other countries.

 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major public health problem of pandemic proportions. In-laboratory OSA diagnosis and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration are insufficient, considering the number of patients affected. Finding alternative ways to diagnose and treat OSA is mandatory, especially in this era of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Effect of continuous positive airway pressure on non-fatal stroke and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation recurrence in obstructive sleep apnoea elderly patients.

Geriatrics Division, "Renato Dulbecco" University Hospital of Catanzaro, Catanzaro 88100, Italy; Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University Magna Græcia of Catanzaro, Catanzaro, Italy.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is the most common and clinically significant sleep breathing disorder, with a high prevalence in elderly with cardiovascular diseases . OSA is often under-recognised and under-treated in clinical practice. The aim of this study is to investigate possible differences in major cardiovascular events (MACE) incidence and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF) recurrence between patients receiving Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment versus no CPAP treatment, in a cohort of elderly OSA patients with several comorbidities and history of PAF.

Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent yet often underdiagnosed condition affecting 1-5% of children globally, with higher prevalence in populations such as those with Down syndrome and obesity. Characterized by recurrent upper airway obstruction during sleep, OSA can lead to serious health consequences, including neurocognitive deficits, behavioral issues, and cardiovascular complications. The diagnosis is complicated by symptom overlap with conditions like Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) while polysomnography (PSG) remains the gold standard for diagnosis, access to this test is limited in many regions.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the characteristics of otherwise healthy children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA; OSA-I) and children with OSA and non-syndromic obesity (OSA-II) treated with long term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in 2019 in France.

Methods: Data were collected from a national survey on paediatric home noninvasive ventilatory support. CPAP/NIV initiation criteria and duration, age at CPAP/NIV initiation, equipment used and CPAP/NIV settings, and objective compliance were analyzed.
