Clinical Trial Summary

TELEAP1 is a multicenter cohort pilot-study designed to evaluate the impact of a published SFRMS/SPLF CPAP-telemonitoring diagnosis/therapeutic algorithm on the CPAP-compliance of newly treated patients with obstructive sleep apnea..

Description:

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)-devices can track compliance, but also leaks and residual Apnea-Hypopnea-Index (AHIflow) values. CPAP tracking systems seem intuitively useful, but there are few data demonstrating the benefit of such systems in improving CPAP-compliance and/or patients quality of life.

In 2020, a working group from the Société Française de Recherche et de Médecine du Sommeil (SFRMS) and the Société de Pneumologie de Langue Française (SPLF) have proposed a CPAP-telemonitoring diagnosis/therapeutic algorithm for newly treated patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

In order to describe and evaluate the impact of this SFRMS/SPLF-algorithm (not only on the patient but also on the home care provider activity), a one year multicenter cohort pilot-study (TELAP1-study) was set up.
