Brief Summary
We propose to carry out a large multicentric, multinational, randomized controlled trial with two phases (two sequential randomized controled trials) to answer two questions: 1) Should hospitalized patients with recently diagnosed OHS be discharged from the hospital on an auto-titratable NIV treatment until the diagnosis of OHS is confirmed in 3 months? 2) Is the long-term effectiveness of outpatient titrated CPAP non-inferior to titrated NIV in ambulatory patients with OHS 3 months after hospital discharge? Clinical practice, multicenter open-label controlled randomized clinical trial with preset allocation rate (1:1) with two parallel-groups conducted in centers from Spain, France, Portugal and USA. The study will have two phases with two randomizations. The first phase will be a superiority study and the second phase will be a non-inferiority study.

Study Arms (4)
Life style modification
EXPERIMENTAL"Lifestyle modifications" group (Control) will consist of a 1,000-calorie/day diet and to maintain proper sleep hygiene and habits (avoid supine decubitus position, maintain regular sleep habits and exercise, not take sedatives, stimulants, alcohol, tobacco or heavy meals within four hours before bedtime). Oxygen therapy can be prescribed by the treating team using standard criteria (awake PaO2 \<55 mmHg or room air oxygen saturation below 88% (Masa JF et al. J Clin Sleep Med. 2016 ;12:1379-88)
Life style modificacion and automatic NIV(AVAPS-AE)
ACTIVE COMPARATORAutomatic NIV: In addition to lifestyle modification and oxygen (if required), the ventilator will be adjusted to a range of predetermined parameters with the intelligent ventilation mode (pressure of intelligent support with guaranteed volume with automatic backup frequency) with the following adjustment: maximum pressure: 35 cmH2O; respiratory rate: automatic; maximum pressure support: 20 cm H2O; minimum pressure support: 4 cmH2O; maximum EPAP pressure: 15 cmH2O; minimum EPAP pressure: 4 cmH2O; and tidal volume (Vt) based on 8-10 ml/kg of predicted body weight. These parameters may be modified according to patient tolerance or non-compensated leak.
Life style modification and titrated NIV(S/T mode)
EXPERIMENTALIn-laboratory polysomnographic NIV titration will be performed according to published guidelines (Berry R et al JCSM 2010). In addition to lifestyle modification and oxygen (if required), home NIV therapy with fixed pressures will be started. The ventilator mode will be a bilevel PAP with backup respiratory rate (BIPAP S/T mode). The ventilator adjustment will be firstly performed in awake situation and then during sleep by means of a PSG.
Life style modification and titrated CPAP
ACTIVE COMPARATORIn-laboratory polysomnographic CPAP titration will be performed according to published guidelines (SEPAR guideline or AASM guideline). In addition to lifestyle modification and oxygen (if required), home CPAP therapy at a fixed pressure will be initiated.
Interventions
It will consist of a 1,000-calorie/day diet and to maintain proper sleep hygiene and habits (avoid supine decubitus position, maintain regular sleep habits and exercise, not take sedatives, stimulants, alcohol, tobacco or heavy meals within four hours before bedtime). Oxygen therapy can be prescribed by the treating team using standard criteria (awake PaO2 \<55 mmHg or room air oxygen saturation below 88% (Masa JF et al. J Clin Sleep Med. 2016 ;12:1379-88). The treatment period will be three months.
In addition to lifestyle modification and oxygen (if required), the ventilator will be adjusted to a range of predetermined parameters with the intelligent ventilation mode (pressure of intelligent support with guaranteed volume with automatic backup frequency) with the following adjustment: maximum pressure: 35 cmH2O; respiratory rate: automatic; maximum pressure support: 18 cm H2O; minimum pressure support: 4 cmH2O; maximum EPAP pressure: 15 cmH2O; minimum EPAP pressure: 4 cmH2O; and tidal volume (Vt) based on 8-10 ml/kg of predicted body weight, being able to be modified according to tolerance.The treatment period will be three months.
In-laboratory polysomnographic CPAP titration will be performed according to published guidelines for CPAP titration (SEPAR guideline or AASM guideline).In addition to lifestyle modification and oxygen (if require), a home titrated CPAP therapy will be initiated.The treatment period will be three years.
In-laboratory polysomnographic NIV titration will be performed according to published guidelines In addition to lifestyle modification and oxygen (if required) home NIV therapy with fixed pressures will be started. The ventilator mode will be a bilevel pressure in S/T mode. The ventilator adjustment will be firstly performed in awake situation and then during sleep by means of a PSG. The treatment period will be three years.
