Background and Objectives: The use of positive airway pressure (PAP) is the treatment of choice for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), however, poor adherence remains a major cause of treatment failure. The objective of this retrospective study was to compare the differences between adherent and non-adherent groups to auto-titration PAP (APAP) therapy for more than one year in patients with OSA.
Materials and Methods: Total 111 patients with OSA who had completed the 3 months compliance assessment for Korean national health insurance coverage were enrolled. They were allocated to adherent (using APAP for more than 12 months) or non-adherent group. Patients¡¯ medical records, polysomnographic data, and APAP use data at the time of passing adaptation period were analyzed, and the differences between the two groups were compared.
Results: The number of patients in the adherent group was 66 (59.5%), and the non-adherent group was 45 (40.5%). There were no significant between-group differences in body mass index, Epworth sleepiness scale, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and APAP device data by binary logistic regression analysis. However, patients with severe OSA (AHI¡Ã30) were more likely to be compliant with PAP therapy than patients with mild to moderate OSA (odds ratio 3.433, 95% confidence interval 1.329?8.870, p=0.011).
Conclusion: The percentage of patients who used APAP devices for more than 12 months was 59.5% in this study. Disease severity (AHI¡Ã30) seems to be a predictor for APAP compliance for more than one year in patients with OSA.
