Trial summary

Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) (HAI hypopnea apnea index ≥ 15) is a common pathology, which affects 6 to 17% of the general population. The Alaska study, which involved 480,000 apneic patients newly fitted with CPAP, showed that 76.9% of patients were still under treatment for one year… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Prognostic Criteria for Observance of Continuous Positive Pressure for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) (HAI hypopnea apnea index ≥ 15) is a common pathology, which affects 6 to 17% of the general population. The Alaska study, which involved 480,000 apneic patients newly fitted with CPAP, showed that 76.9% of patients were still under treatment for one year, 62.9% after two years, and 52.3% after three years.

All patients who recently diagnosed with OSAS in the Sleep Disorder Unit (unity de Pathologies du Sommeil et de la Vigilance, CHU d'AMIENS-PICARDIE, FRANCE) and who are requiring CPAP will be included. On the day of their hospitalization for the implementation of the CPAP therapy, patients will answer validated questionnaires to assess their level of motivation and adherence to the initiation of treatment but also to assess their knowledge and understanding of the disease and its treatment. These questionnaires will be repeated at the four-month and one-year follow-up consultations (+/- 21 days).

The aim of the study is to identify the prognostic factors of adherence to CPAP, leading to a better understanding and management of patients with sleep apnea syndrome.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • questionaryOther

    the patient will complete validated questionnaires, at three periods (at the time of the initiation of the CPAP, and during the 2 planned follow-up consultations: four months and at 1 year) The validated questionnaires are as follows: Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R), Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ), Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Rollnick Scale.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time (in minutes) for the daily use of the CPAP therapy

    Measured: at 4 weeks

  2. Time (in minutes) for the daily use of the CPAP therapy

    Measured: at 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing questionary in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time (in minutes) for the daily use of the CPAP therapy (time frame: at 4 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 May 2025.
