Description

Background

Problem Statement:

  • An estimated 9-38% of adults have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and about 80% is undiagnosed.
  • OSA has been linked to excessive sleepiness, neurocognitive impairments, reduced quality of life, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and motor vehicle and workplace accidents
  • Approximately85% of people with diagnosed OSA receive PAP and only 35-60% remain compliant long term
  • Many factors impact CPAP use: disease and patient characteristics, titration procedures, device factors, side effects, psychological and social factors

Project AIM: Evaluate whether a daytime, abbreviated cardio-respiratory sleep study (AKA the PAP NAP -developed to help improve adherence in patients with OSA and insomnia and other psychiatric disorders in a protocolized, reimbursable method) improves patient's PAP adherence.
