Continuous positive airway pressure adherence in people with obstructive sleep apnoea

Chestharid Borriboon, Jindarat Chaiard, Chiraporn Tachaudomdach, Sue Turale

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between health belief model factors and CPAP adherence in Thai individuals with obstructive sleep apnoea. Results showed a low rate of CPAP adherence, with perceived seriousness of the conditions being the only significant factor associated with adherence. Healthcare professionals, especially nurses, should provide support and education to encourage regular CPAP use and be aware of psychological factors affecting patients' perception of sleep apnoea and CPAP treatment. Intervention strategies targeting these factors should be developed and implemented in clinical practice.

Effect of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome and continuous positive airway pressure treatment on choroidal structure

Meltem Guzin Altinel, Hasim Uslu, Ayse Yagmur Kanra, Orhan Dalkilic

Summary: The study evaluated the effect of OSAS and CPAP therapy on choroidal structural changes and CVI in patients with OSAS. OSAS was associated with stromal edema in the choroid, which improved after 12 months of CPAP therapy. CVI can be an important parameter for monitoring patients with OSAS.

Respiratory effort during sleep and prevalent hypertension in obstructive sleep apnoea

Jean-Benoit Martinot, Nhat-Nam Le-Dong, Atul Malhotra, Jean-Louis Pepin

Summary: Respiratory effort is a main feature of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), and is associated with sympathetic overactivity. This study found that the percentage of total sleep time spent with increased respiratory effort (REMOV,%TST), measured by mandibular jaw movements, can predict the prevalence of hypertension in adults with OSA.

Obstructive sleep apnoea and adherence to continuous positive airway therapy among Australian women

Subash S. Heraganahally, Kyi K. Zaw, Sai Tip, Xinlin Jing, Joy J. Mingi, Timothy Howarth, Anil Roy, Henrik Falhammar, Dimitar Sajkov

Summary: This retrospective study explored the clinical characteristics, polysomnographic features, and adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy among Australian women with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The results showed that age, BMI, and hypertension were predictors of OSA presence and severity. Adherence to CPAP therapy was associated with symptomatic OSA and severe oxygen desaturation.

18F-FDG PET, cognitive functioning, and CSF biomarkers in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea before and after continuous positive airway pressure treatment

Summary: The study found cognitive impairment, reduced cerebral glucose consumption, and alterations in CSF biomarkers in OSA patients, which may reinforce the hypothesis of AD neurodegenerative processes triggered by OSA. Notably, cognition and brain glucose consumption improved after beneficial CPAP treatment. Further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term effects of CPAP treatment on these AD biomarkers.

Evaluation of telemonitoring of continuous positive airway pressure therapy in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome: TELEPAP pilot study

Manuel Fernandes, Catarina Antunes, Cristina Martinho, Joao Carvalho, Tiago Abreu, Ana Oliveira, Paula Pinto, Cristina Barbara

Summary: This study found that, with a comprehensive educational programme during positive airway pressure adaptation, telemonitoring did not show significant benefits in terms of compliance and efficacy compared to usual care or phone-call care. Further long-term follow-up is needed to evaluate the outcomes of telemonitoring programmes.

Continuous positive airway pressure improves blood pressure and serum cardiovascular biomarkers in obstructive sleep apnoea and hypertension

Macy Mei-Sze Lui, Hung-Fat Tse, David Chi-Leung Lam, Kui-Kai Lau, Carmen Wing-Sze Chan, Mary Sau-Man Ip

Summary: In subjects with OSA and difficult-to-control hypertension, short-term CPAP treatment improved ambulatory blood pressure, alleviated subclinical myocardial injury and strain. This study suggests potential benefits of CPAP therapy in reducing cardiovascular risk in this high-risk population.

Bidirectional relationships of comorbidity with obstructive sleep apnoea

Margaret Gleeson, Walter T. McNicholas

Summary: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is often associated with various comorbidities, including metabolic, cardiovascular, renal, pulmonary, and neuropsychiatric conditions. There is evidence to suggest a bidirectional relationship between OSA and comorbidity, with some comorbidities possibly predisposing to the development of OSA. The impact of therapy in bidirectional relationships is also reviewed, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis.

Prediction of optimal continuous positive airway pressure in Thai patients with obstructive sleep apnea

Narongkorn Saiphoklang, Kanyada Leelasittikul, Apiwat Pugongchai

Summary: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea patients, and a predictive equation for CPAP in Thai patients was developed in this study, with neck circumference, body mass index, respiratory disturbance index, and lowest pulse oxygen saturation being significant factors in predicting the optimal pressure. The equation accounted for 50% of the variance in optimal pressure, providing insight into tailored CPAP therapy for Thai patients with OSA.

Summary: The study revealed that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects the biological clock, and long-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment can partially restore normal clock function. However, the treatment does not fully reverse the impact on clock gene expression levels.

Summary: Using drug combinations for hypertension treatment is recommended for most patients as they show better blood pressure-lowering effects compared to monotherapy. Randomized clinical trials indicate that combination treatments reduce fatal and nonfatal outcomes compared to simpler treatment regimens, however, the presence of treatment-related adverse events may affect the overall benefit of combination therapy.

Summary: In treated hypertensive patients, the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy and arterial stiffness indicate cardiovascular risk, with left ventricular hypertrophy being a better predictor of coronary artery disease. Age over 65, male gender, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and left ventricular hypertrophy were identified as independent predictors of CAD.

Summary: This study evaluated the differential outcomes of different hypertension phenotypes based on clinic and ambulatory blood pressure measurements. It found that isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) based on clinic blood pressure was associated with a higher incidence of cardiovascular events compared to isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) and systolic/diastolic hypertension (SDH). Integration of clinic and ambulatory blood pressure measurements also increased the outcome incidence for ISH.

Summary: This study comprehensively assessed the effects of the Mediterranean diet on blood pressure levels through a meta-analysis of 35 randomized controlled trials. The findings suggest that the Mediterranean diet may lead to a small but significant reduction in blood pressure compared to usual and other active intervention diets, with greater effects observed in trials with higher baseline blood pressure and longer follow-up durations.
