Trial summary

Sleep apnea (SA) affects more than 4% from general population and is largely underdiagnosed. SA can increase the occurrence of cardiovascular, endocrine and metabolic events (particularly stroke, diabetes \& obesity). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Early Education and Information of Sleep Apnea on the Observance of CPAP Treatment

Sleep apnea (SA) affects more than 4% from general population and is largely underdiagnosed. SA can increase the occurrence of cardiovascular, endocrine and metabolic events (particularly stroke, diabetes \& obesity). CPAP is currently the Gold Standard treatment of SA and to prevent these events, with a major clinical benefit, long term adherence to CPAP is a significant problem where a significant rate of rejection and abundance after 6 months of treatment.

Read the detailed description

Sleep apnea (SA) affects more than 4% from general population (20% of people over 65 years) and is largely underdiagnosed, it can be rise up by some factors such as: obesity, male gender. Sleep Apnea can increase the occurrence of cardiovascular, endocrine and metabolic events (particularly stroke, diabetes \& obesity). CPAP is currently the Gold Standard treatment of SA and to prevent these events, with a major clinical benefit, long term adherence to CPAP is a significant problem where a significant rate of rejection and abundance after 6 months of treatment.

The investigators hypothesize that an early education and information of SA (in the first 2 weeks after diagnosis of SA and one telephonic call/month while 5 months) would allow to increase significantly the optimal observance of CPAP (> 5 h/night).

Thus, in this study, we will compare evolution of the observance of CPAP (h/night), of the apnea hypopnea index (AHI), patient knowledge of their SA and its deleterious health consequences in an early education and information during five months against a control group receiving only usual care (standard).

What participants receive

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

  • Coaching groupBehavioural

    patients will have a medical consultation at 2 weeks post-diagnostic and one phone call/month for duration of 5 months. The consultations will use visual support, CPAP device and its accessories.

  • Control groupOther

    patients receive only usual care (standard), it's mean: diagnosis with explanation of the disease and benefit of CPAP, entrusts a medical device provider, then an appointment proposed by the doctor or taken by the patient (5 months).
