Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • objective CPAP adherence (objective adherence are downloaded and reported by the memory card located in the CPAP device.)

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • subjective, objective satisfaction and complaints for CPAP therapy

    3 months

  • respiratory events (ie. apnea-hypopnea index)

    3 months

  • change of positive airway pressure

    3 months

  • quality of life etc.

    3 months

Study Arms (3)

C-flex

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Device: CPAP (REMstar (Respironics))

A-flex

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Device: CPAP (REMstar (Respironics))

Auto-CPAP

NO INTERVENTION

Interventions

Pressure-relief CPAP treatment may reduce the sensation of breathing against high pressure without causing the upper airways to collapse and improve adherence.
