Remote Monitoring of Positive Airway Pressure Data Challenges, Pitfalls, and Strategies to Consider for Optimal Data Science Applications

Guillaume Bottaz-Bosson et al.

Summary: PAP remote monitoring has revolutionized the management of OSA by providing valuable and objective information about patient treatment adherence and efficiency. However, current studies often oversimplify data analysis, lacking standardized indicators and not considering missing values or treatment interruptions. To ensure fair comparison and avoid biases, rigorous data cleaning and processing are necessary. Improving data quality and standardization could facilitate data sharing and the application of AI strategies in sleep apnea research.CHEST 2023; 163(5):1279-1291

Investigation and management of residual sleepiness in CPAP-treated patients with obstructive sleep apnoea: the European view

Sonya Craig et al.

Summary: Excessive daytime sleepiness is a major symptom of obstructive sleep apnoea, and its clinical description and pathogenesis are complex. Existing evaluation methods are not reliable, and objective tests are not commonly used due to cost. Medication for excessive daytime sleepiness is available in the USA but discontinued in Europe. European physicians may lack experience in pharmacological treatment, although new wake-promoting drugs have been approved for clinical use in OSA patients in both the USA and Europe.

Summary: This study aims to develop and test a novel couples-based sleep health intervention to improve adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) and promote sleep health for both patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and their partners. The intervention focuses on increasing effective partner support, communication skills, and couple-level goal-setting.

Summary: CPAP adherence varies significantly by demographics, with 18- to 30-year-old women having the lowest adherence. The pattern of CPAP use over the first 90 days also differs by age and sex, with older patients showing more stable and gradual increases in usage compared to younger patients. Further research on addressing disparities in CPAP adherence will be crucial for optimizing the benefits of CPAP therapy.
