Enhancing PAP Adherence Among Spanish-speaking Hispanic Adults With OSA

Description

This study seeks to enhance long-term positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence among Spanish-speaking Hispanics, a group with known PAP outcomes disparities. This study will assess the feasibility of a linguistically and culturally adapted tele-management intervention (Automated Management, AM) for Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults with OSA.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Spanish-speaking and reading
  • * Self-identified Hispanic
  • * Adults ≥ 18 years-old
  • * Males and females
  • * Moderate-severe OSA defined as AHI ≥15 events/hour using a hypopnea criterion of a 4% oxygen desaturation (AHI4%)
  • * Expected availability for the duration of the study (6 months from date of randomization)
  • * Ownership of smartphone with unlimited text messaging capability
  • * Referred to PAP treatment and able and willing to be treated with PAP
  • * Other sleep apnea or nocturnal respiratory insufficiency or failure diagnosis other than OSA established by polysomnogram (PSG) or home sleep apnea test (HSAT)
  • * Requirement of supplemental oxygen or other non-invasive ventilation modality
  • * Women referred to PAP because of new-onset OSA with pregnancy as PAP treatment may be time-limited (enrolled women who become pregnant during the trial and are already on PAP treatment will not be excluded)
  • * Anticipated or scheduled bariatric surgery and/or referred to sleep evaluation by bariatric surgery
