About this study

Official title: Assessment of a New AutoSet Device Designed for Female Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients on the Quality of Life of Users

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has detrimental effects on the health and quality of life of suffers. Recent literature has shown that females may be particularly susceptible to adverse the quality of life effects, and that female obstructive sleep apnea manifests differently than male obstructive sleep apnea. A new AutoSetting Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) device has been designed specifically to treat female OSA. In this Cohort study, female patients who are newly diagnosed with OSA will be asked to complete various questionnaires relating to their quality of life. Patients will then use the AutoSet for Her for three months. At the completion of the three months the questionnaires will be repeated. Before treatment and after treatment quality of life will be compared to determine if treating female specific OSA in these patients improves quality of life.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assessment of Quality of Life Using the Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ)

    The Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) assesses quality of life based on self reported physical and mental health. The outcome measure is Change from Baseline FOSQ score at 3 months. The minimum score is 5 and the maximum score is 20. Higher scores represent a better outcome

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Sleep Changes Assessed Through Polysomnography

    assessment of sleep quality (sleep efficacy, amounts of deep sleep, amounts of REM sleep). The outcome measure is changes in sleep from baseline at 3 months

    Measured: 3 months
