NCT02749812

Brief Summary

The investigators propose a multicentric controlled randomized trial whose goal is to evaluate the possibility of a prediction of the efficiency of APAP (automatic continuous positive airway pressure) and constant CPAP (constant positive airway pressure) in 800 severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients according to their profile of pressure variability.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • A combined score that takes into account the residual apnea hypopnea index (AHI) under CPAP associated with the value of the Epworth score after 3 months of treatment.

    The main objective of this study is to evaluate the ability to predict the mode of CPAP to use (APAP vs constant CPAP) in the treatment of OSAS patients, according to their own level of efficient pressure and its variability obtained on CPAP report after the first 7 days of use in an initial and systematic APAP mode. This prediction will be evaluated by using the association of the residual AHI value under CPAP and the Epworth score value obtained after 3 months of treatment, in each group of CPAP mode (constant vs APAP) used during the study. This combined criteria will be used according an ordinal scale with six levels of severity. It will be evaluated in each group (constant CPAP vs APAP) according to the level of P90 or P95 and the degree of pressure variability obtained during the first 7 day-period of use.
