0952 Prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in the Elderly Across the United States Through 2050 Open
Introduction Chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). These conditions are more prevalent in older adults, who may be at heigh…
0926 The Disproportionate Burden of OSA in Women in the United States: A Call for Improved Awareness and Diagnosis Open
Introduction While obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is widely recognized as a condition that predominantly impacts men, the burden on women is significant, yet often under-appreciated. Given increased attention on understanding gender differe…
Feasibility and acceptability of switching from a previous-generation to a new-generation mask for positive airway pressure therapy of sleep apnea using remote care Open
http://clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05262439).

P072 Developing Generative AI Products for Sleep Health Support: A Risk-Based Approach Open
Introduction Generative AI tools can assist individuals with sleep problems by providing information about sleep disorders, sleep health, and product support. However, it is crucial to mitigate the risks of misinformation and ensure that t…

P132 Feasibility and acceptability of switching from a previous-generation to a new-generation full-face mask for positive airway pressure therapy of sleep apnea using remote care Open
Introduction Mask selection could affect an individual’s experience with positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, but there is very limited data on the impact of switching to a different mask once established o…
Association Between Sleep Apnea Treatment and Health Care Resource Use in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Open
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) contributes to the generation, recurrence, and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation, and it is associated with worse outcomes. Little is known about the economic impact of OSA therapy in atrial fibri…
Positive Airway Pressure Therapy Adherence and Health Care Resource Use in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Open
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, current evidence is equivocal regarding the potential benefits of treating OSA with positive airway pressure (PAP) thera…
Positive Airway Pressure Adherence and Health Care Resource Utilization in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction Open
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common comorbidity in patients with heart failure, although current evidence is equivocal regarding the potential benefits of treating OSA with positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy in patient…
View article: Relationship between Self-reported Sleepiness and Positive Airway Pressure Treatment Adherence in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Relationship between Self-reported Sleepiness and Positive Airway Pressure Treatment Adherence in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Open
Rationale: Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the first-choice treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, its real-world effectiveness is often questioned because of usage issues. The relationship between patient sleepiness and P…
Usability evaluation of a novel compact pneumatic compression device for the treatment of lymphoedema: Pilot study Open
Objective To perform a preliminary usability evaluation of a novel, compact pneumatic compression device in patients with lymphoedema. Methods This open-label, single-arm trial had two phases: the first focused on the fitting of the pneuma…
Impact of Positive Airway Pressure Therapy Adherence on Outcomes in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Open
Rationale: The co-occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, termed overlap syndrome, has a poor prognosis. However, data on positive airway pressure (PAP) treatments and their impact on outcomes and c…
Association of serious adverse events with Cheyne–Stokes respiration characteristics in patients with systolic heart failure and central sleep apnoea: A SERVE‐Heart Failure substudy analysis Open
Background and objective Increases in Cheyne–Stokes respiration (CSR) cycle length (CL), lung‐to‐periphery circulation time (LPCT) and time to peak flow (TTPF) may reflect impaired cardiac function. This retrospective analysis used an auto…
Compliance after switching from CPAP to bilevel for patients with non-compliant OSA: big data analysis Open
Introduction For patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) who are initially non-compliant with continuous (automatic) positive airway pressure (CPAP/APAP) therapy, a bilevel PAP (Spont/VAuto) therapy transition pathway is available to …
0744 Risk Factors for PAP Adherence in Children with Sleep Apnea: Results Derived Using a Big Data Approach Open
Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (POSA), affects up to 10% of children. Adenotonsillectomy, the recommended therapy for POSA, is modestly effective in adolescents and obese children. Subsequently, children are often prescribed positive ai…
0531 Compliance with Positive Airway Pressure Therapy after Switching from CPAP to Bilevel for Non-compliant OSA Patients: A Big Data Analysis Open
For patients who are currently non-compliant with continuous PAP (CPAP) or automatic PAP (APAP) therapy, a transition pathway to Bilevel therapy exists to improve adherence and meet the US Medicare (CMS) compliance standard [usage ≥4hrs fo…
0468 Does Circulation Time and Time-to-Peak Flow in Patients with Cheyne-Stoke Respiration and Heart Failure Correlate with Adverse Health Outcomes? Open
SDB is highly prevalent in heart failure (HF) patients. While LVEF is a well-known predictor of morbidity and mortality in HF, it remains to be determined whether characteristics of disordered breathing have any additional predictive value…
Treating Chronic Hypoventilation With Automatic Adjustable Versus Fixed EPAP Intelligent Volume-Assured Positive Airway Pressure Support (iVAPS): A Randomized Controlled Trial Open
In patients with chronic hypoventilation using iVAPS, the AutoEPAP algorithm was noninferior to FixedEPAP over a single night's therapy.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Women: Specific Issues and Interventions Open
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has traditionally been seen as a male disease. However, the importance of OSA in women is increasingly being recognized, along with a number of significant gender-related differences in the symptoms, diagnosis…
