The study aimed to evaluate changes in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores after CPAP treatment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Results showed that CPAP therapy reduced depression scores, especially with high CPAP adherence. Anxiety scores also decreased, but there was no significant difference between high and low CPAP adherence groups.
Study Objectives: To assess changes in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Methods: Consecutive patients attending the Alfred Health sleep clinic, diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, and prescribed CPAP were recruited. The primary outcome was a change in the HADS depression (HADS-D) and anxiety (HADS-A) subscales from the time of diagnosis to follow-up. Secondary analysis compared high (> 4 hours) and low (<4 hours) CPAP adherence groups and change in depression cases, defined by HADS-D >= 8, and anxiety cases, defined by HADS-A >= 11. Results: We included 108 participants in the final analysis. Adherence groups were well matched in baseline mood, sleepiness, and apnea variables. Overall age (mean +/- standard deviation) was 56.1 +/- 12.8 years, and there was a median (interquartile ratio) apnea-hypopnea-index of 42.7 (27.5-58.1) or median (interquartile ratio) oxygen-desaturation-index of 43.0 (26.0-74.0). The median duration of CPAP therapy was 1.3 years. The HADS-D decreased after CPAP by -1.4 (adjusted 95% confidence interval, -2.1 to -0.6; P = .001). Patients with high-CPAP adherence (n = 84) had a tendency towards a greater reduction in HADS-D (-1.5) compared with those with low-CPAP adherence (n = 24; -0.3; adjusted P =.19). Depression cases (HADS-D >= 8) decreased by 13.1% in the high-CPAP-adherence group (P =.03) and increased by 4.1% in the low-CPAP-adherence group (P =.71). The HADS-A decreased after CPAP by -1.8 (adjusted 95% confidence interval, -1.8 to -0.4; P = .004). There was no significant difference between adherence groups or anxiety cases (HADS-A > 11). Conclusions: Specialized obstructive sleep apnea treatment with CPAP reduces depression scores, with a trend toward greater reduction in those with high CPAP adherence.
