About

The present study aims to determine to what extent remote monitoring of PAP related to patients' clinical parameters is able to provide relevant data on predictors of compliance, subgroups of patients who may benefit from this technological tool, variations in AHI over time, occurrence of central events at the start of therapy and, in short, to shed new light on this disease and its treatment, all within the application of continuous positive pressure therapy in the real world.

Among the intended objectives is the identification of phenotypes involved in the use and efficacy of PAP therapy: development of a predictive model, as well as the evaluation of the impact of long-term telemonitoring of patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

The study initially arose from the need to diagnose, treat and follow up patients with suspected OSA in compliance with the social distancing rules imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is an ambispective cohort study, with retrospective data collection from the start date of the pandemic (March 2020) to December 2021, and prospective data collection from the approval of the protocol to December 2022.
