Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Comfort - Subjective

    To assess the comfort of the mask as experienced by the participant. Comfort will be measured on a 4 point likert type scale (options: Very Uncomfortable, Uncomfortable, Comfortable, and Very Comfortable). Very Comfortable will be scored the highest and Very Uncomfortable will be scored the lowest. Different aspects of the mask such as cushion comfort, headgear comfort and overall comfort will be assessed using the same scale. Questions will be asked on a questionnaire and further qualitative responses will be captured during an interview.

    Assessed 2 weeks after mask fitting

  • Usability

    To assess the ease of use of the mask as experienced by the participant. Questions regarding the freedom of movement in bed will be asked using a 4 point likert type scale (options: Very Difficult, Difficult, Easy, and Very Easy). Very Easy will be scored the highest and Very Difficult will be scored the lowest. Questions will be asked via a questionnaire with additional qualitative responses captured during an interview.

    Assessed 2 weeks after mask fitting

  • Seal Performance

    To assess the sealing performance of the mask when used in a home environment. Questions regarding the seal performance will be asked using a 4 point likert type scale (options: Very poor, Poor, Good, and Very good). Very good will be scored the highest and Very poor will be scored the lowest.
