“…As we have shown that CompSA can emerge later on in the course of CPAP treatment, repeated long-term monitoring of clinical It is uncertain whether the impaired sleep of patients with follow-up CompSA also occurred in the home environment or just in the 3-month CPAP night. The similar ESS scores of both groups at follow-up, which fall into the normal range of healthy subjects with similar age [36], seem to indicate that both patients with and without follow-up CompSA did not suffer from chronically impaired recuperation after CPAP was started.…”

Complex sleep apnoea (CompSA) may be observed following continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment.In a prospective study, 675 obstructive sleep apnoea patients (mean age 55.9 yrs; 13.9% female) participated. Full-night polysomnography was performed at diagnosis, during the first night with stable CPAP and after 3 months of CPAP.12.2% (82 out of 675 patients) had initial CompSA. 28 of those were lost to follow-up. Only 14 out of the remaining 54 patients continued to satisfy criteria for CompSA at follow-up. 16 out of 382 patients not initially diagnosed with CompSA exhibited novel CompSA after 3 months. 30 (6.9%) out of 436 patients had follow-up CompSA. Individuals with CompSA were 5 yrs older and 40% had coronary artery disease. At diagnosis, they had similar sleep quality but more central and mixed apnoeas. On the first CPAP night and at follow-up, sleep quality was impaired (more wakefulness after sleep onset) for patients with CompSA. Sleepiness was improved with CPAP, and was similar for patients with or without CompSA at diagnosis and follow-up.CompSA is not stable over time and is mainly observed in predisposed patients on nights with impaired sleep quality. It remains unclear to what extent sleep impairment is cause or effect of CompSA.

“…Among the 15 participants without adequate AHI response at 12 months, ESS reduced from a baseline of 11.9 ± 5.7 to 5.7 ± 5.3 ( P < 0.001), with 12 of the 15 participants with ESS < 10 at 12 months, which is considered normalized daytime sleepiness . Similarly, FOSQ improved from 14.7 ± 3.5 to 17.0 ± 4.2 ( P < 0.001), with 10 of the 15 participants with FOSQ ≥ 17.9 at 12 months, which is considered normalized daytime function without sleep disorders .…”

“…Results of the healthy individuals served not only as control data but were also consulted for test standardization and for reference values. In addition, the healthy subjects contributed to normative data of the German version of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (Sauter et al, 2007). Data for healthy controls were collected in three different Sleep Disorder Centers (Regensburg, Vienna, and Berlin; see author's affiliations).…”

PUI and PD were found to decrease with increasing age. In addition, the present data show that nonreliable PST data occur more frequently in the elderly probably because of dry eyes, inadequate testing conditions, and technical resolution limitations. Thus, the PST results obtained here from elderly subjects are limited and have to be interpreted with caution. Additional research on elderly specific assessment tools is needed.
