Abstract
Telemonitoring in non-invasive ventilation is constantly evolving to enable follow-up of adults and children. Depending on the device and manufacturer, different ventilator variables are displayed on web-based platforms. However, high-granularity measurement is not always available remotely, which precludes breath-by-breath waveforms and precise monitoring of nocturnal gas exchange. Therefore, telemonitoring is mainly useful for monitoring utilization of the device, leaks, and respiratory events. Coordinated relationships between patients, homecare providers, and hospital teams are necessary to transform available data into diagnosis and actions. Telemonitoring is time and cost-consuming. The balance between cost, workload, and clinical benefit should be further evaluated.

Effectiveness of remote monitoring in improving CPAP compliance and the impact of preexisting organisation of standard care: a randomised controlled trial. Sleep Breath 2024; 28:1715-1721.

Abstract
PURPOSE : Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is often the treatment of choice for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Short-term adherence and early perceived benefits are the best predictors of long-term adherence. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of telemonitoring in the first period of treatment with CPAP (auto-titrating PAP) on compliance and the long-term outcome. METHODS Patients aged between 18-75 years old with symptomatic severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 30) requiring CPAP therapy were included in this single-blind, single-centre, randomised, controlled trial. They were divided into 2 groups (telemonitored standard clinical care versus standard clinical care without telemonitoring). RESULTS A total of 230 patients (115 patients/group) were included (mean age 54 ± 16.6 years, BMI 32.6 ± 5.4 kg/m2, ESS 13.1 ± 6.2, AHI 47.5 ± 14.8/hr). At week 10 compliance was similar in both groups (telemonitoring vs control 6:27 and 6:35 h, respectively, p = 0.57), as were AHI (2.4; 2.4/hr, p = 0.89) and ESS (5.8; 4.9, p = 0.22). The number of contacts of a patient with a healthcare professional was significantly higher during the follow-up from week 3 until week 10 (0.25; 0.13, p = 0.03). The number of patients who could be evaluated after 1 year was equally distributed in both groups (104; 104, p = 1.00), as were compliance (6:43; 6:49 h, p = 0.59) and residual AHI (1.9; 2.2/hr, p = 0.41). CONCLUSIONS In patients with severe OSA with standard intensive follow-up during the initial weeks of CPAP therapy and good compliance, telemonitoring did not improve CPAP compliance nor the clinical outcome in the short or long term. The practical consequences can be highly relevant for patients and healthcare professionals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adherence to continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has remained invariably low over the last decades. Remote monitoring of the nocturnal CPAP treatment, within telemedicine (TM)-based follow-up programs, in these patients has been suggested as a potential tool to improve adherence and release the workload of sleep units. The aim of this study was therefore to assess whether a follow-up program carried out by a Remote Medical Care Centre (RMCC), outside the sleep unit, improves adherence to CPAP in the short and long term in patients with OSA. METHODS In this pilot protocol, we enrolled 37 patients starting CPAP in our Sleep Centre (SC). After three months of standard care in our SC, patients initiated a six-month remote follow-up carried out by the RMCC, functioning as an intermediary between patients and SC. Monthly reports and indication for face-to-face visits were sent to the SC for six months. After this period patients returned to usual care for one year. Results were compared with those obtained in 38 patients (controls) followed with usual care over the same time range. RESULTS Mean nightly use of CPAP increased from 3.2 ± 2.4 h pre-RMCC to 5.2 ± 1.9 h post-RMCC (p < 0.0001). Nights/month of CPAP use improved from 19.8 ± 9.2 to 25.2 ± 2.5 (p < 0.05) and nights/month with CPAP use >4 h from 12.5 ± 10 to 21.03 ± 8.9 (p < 0.05). This improvement remained stable after 12 months from the return of patients to usual care. No significant changes in CPAP use were observed in controls over the time. CONCLUSION A six-month follow-up through a remote facility can significantly improve adherence to CPAP in the short and long term. This pilot study provides a solid base for the design of multicentre randomized trials focusing on new models which are able to increase the long-term efficacy of TM programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects patient health and public welfare. Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is the preferred treatment of OSA, but therapy adherence rates remain suboptimal. Current literature demonstrates telemonitoring interventions to support improved PAP therapy adherence. PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of interval telemonitoring of PAP therapy data at 2 and 4 weeks after treatment initiation in patients with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea with as-needed patient support and troubleshooting by telephone consultation. METHODOLOGY Ninety-nine participants were enrolled in this study, 50 in the control group and 49 in the intervention group. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS 28.0 software. The primary outcome of interest was 90-day PAP adherence. RESULTS Mean PAP adherence scores diverged at 90 days after PAP initiation, with the intervention group having a significantly higher mean score (M = 49.24, SD = 38.18) relative to the control group (M = 36.38, SD = 37.69). Likewise, continued PAP usage at 90 days after therapy initiation diverged between participant groups, with the intervention group having a significantly higher mean score (M = 89.80, SD = 30.58) relative to the control group (M = 72.00, SD = 45.36). CONCLUSIONS The intervention resulted in significantly higher mean PAP adherence and a greater percentage of participants demonstrating continued PAP usage at 90 days after therapy initiation but did not result in a statistically significant increase in what is considered and defined as "good PAP adherence" (adherence of ≥70%). IMPLICATIONS Data-triggered telemonitoring protocols offer supplementary support to patients in need and improve PAP adherence.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequently treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or mandibular advancement devices (MADs). For various reasons, both treatment options are often affected by low adherence. While factors associated with low CPAP adherence are described in the literature extensively, less is known about adherence to MAD therapy. This scoping review aimed to synthesize the body of literature on the factors associated with adherence to MAD treatment. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted using bibliographic databases PubMed, Embase.com , Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library (Wiley) to identify relevant studies that described factors associated with adherence to MAD in the treatment of OSA or snoring combined with OSA in adults. RESULTS The literature search yielded a total of 694 references. Forty studies were found eligible for inclusion. The literature showed that factors with a possible negative influence on the adherence to MAD treatment are personality aspects; failing effectiveness of MAD; side effects during MAD therapy; using a thermoplastic MAD; dental treatments during MAD therapy; and a poor first experience with the MAD with inadequate guidance by professionals. Factors that may have a positive effect on MAD adherence include effectiveness of therapy, custom-made MAD, good communication skills of the practitioner, early recognition of side effects, stepwise titration of the MAD, and positive first experience with MAD. CONCLUSIONS The knowledge of factors associated with MAD adherence can be used to provide further insight into individual adherence to OSA treatments.

Abstract
Background Remote monitoring involves the measurement of an aspect of a patient's health without that person being seen face to face. It could benefit the individual and aid the efficient provision of health services. However, remote monitoring can be used to monitor different aspects of health in different ways. This evidence map allows users to find evidence on different forms of remote monitoring for different conditions easily to support the commissioning and implementation of interventions. Objectives The aim of this map was to provide an overview of the volume, diversity and nature of recent systematic reviews on the effectiveness, acceptability and implementation of remote monitoring for adults with long-term physical health conditions. Data sources We searched MEDLINE, nine further databases and Epistemonikos for systematic reviews published between 2018 and March 2022, PROSPERO for continuing reviews, and completed citation chasing on included studies. Review methods (Study selection and Study appraisal): Included systematic reviews focused on adult populations with a long-term physical health condition and reported on the effectiveness, acceptability or implementation of remote monitoring. All forms of remote monitoring where data were passed to a healthcare professional as part of the intervention were included. Data were extracted on the characteristics of the remote monitoring intervention and outcomes assessed in the review. AMSTAR 2 was used to assess quality. Results were presented in an interactive evidence and gap map and summarised narratively. Stakeholder and public and patient involvement groups provided feedback throughout the project. Results We included 72 systematic reviews. Of these, 61 focus on the effectiveness of remote monitoring and 24 on its acceptability and/or implementation, with some reviews reporting on both. The majority contained studies from North America and Europe (38 included studies from the United Kingdom). Patients with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and respiratory conditions were the most studied populations. Data were collected predominantly using common devices such as blood pressure monitors and transmitted via applications, websites, e-mail or patient portals, feedback provided via telephone call and by nurses. In terms of outcomes, most reviews focused on physical health, mental health and well-being, health service use, acceptability or implementation. Few reviews reported on less common conditions or on the views of carers or healthcare professionals. Most reviews were of low or critically low quality. Limitations Many terms are used to describe remote monitoring; we searched as widely as possible but may have missed some relevant reviews. Poor reporting of remote monitoring interventions may mean some included reviews contain interventions that do not meet our definition, while relevant reviews might have been excluded. This also made the interpretation of results difficult. Conclusions and future work The map provides an interactive, visual representation of evidence on the effectiveness of remote monitoring and its acceptability and successful implementation. This evidence could support the commissioning and delivery of remote monitoring interventions, while the limitations and gaps could inform further research and technological development. Future reviews should follow the guidelines for conducting and reporting systematic reviews and investigate the application of remote monitoring in less common conditions.

Abstract
Sleep is essential for the proper functioning of all individuals. Sleep-disordered breathing can occur at any age and is a common reason for medical visits. The objective of this consensus is to update knowledge about the main causes of sleep-disordered breathing in adult and pediatric populations, with an emphasis on obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is an extremely prevalent but often underdiagnosed disease. It is often accompanied by comorbidities, notably cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurocognitive disorders, which have a significant impact on quality of life and mortality rates. Therefore, to create this consensus, the Sleep-Disordered Breathing Department of the Brazilian Thoracic Association brought together 14 experts with recognized, proven experience in sleep-disordered breathing.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is defined as the presence of an apnea-hyponea index (AHI)>15/h, predominantly obstructive or AHI greater than 5 with symptoms, the classic symptoms are observed apneas, daytime sleepiness and snoring, however, there are many other associated symptoms. To assess the severity of OSA, classically, only the AHI value was considered, but there is increasing evidence to implicate other factors. The predisposition to develop OSA is determined by anatomical and functional features. Having OSA increases the risk of accidents, high blood pressure (HBP) and is associated with cardiovascular risk, diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiac arrhythmia and neoplasms. To assess the probability of OSA, questionnaires and scales have been developed to assess symptoms, the certain diagnosis is obtained by polysomnography (PSG), which is the gold standard test, or polygraphy, which is a simpler and more accessible diagnostic test for diagnosis validated, the use of one or the other will depend on the suspicion and the associated comorbidities. Treatments for sleep apnea increasingly tend to be more individualized based on the characteristics of the patient and all are complementary. Hygienic-dietary measures should be applied in all patients, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most effective treatment and with the most evidence, but other treatments are also available such as mandibular advancement devices (MAD), postural therapy and surgical options among others. Telemedicine is advancing in the follow-up of patients with OSA, both from non-face-to-face consultations and control of equipment via Wi-Fi to assess adherence, efficacy and correct control of therapy.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common type of sleep-disordered breathing associated with multiple comorbidities. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first choice for moderate-severe OSA but poor compliance brings a great challenge to its effectiveness. Telehealth interventions ease the follow-up process and allow healthcare facilities to provide consistent care. Fifth-generation wireless transmission technology has also greatly rationalized the wide use of telemedicine. Herein, we review the efficacy of the telehealth system in enhancing CPAP adherence. We recommend applying telemonitoring in clinical practice and advocate the development of a biopsychosocial telemedicine model with the integration of several interventions. Big databases and promising artificial intelligent technologies make clinical decision support systems and predictive models based on these databases possible.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) telemonitoring (TMg) has become widely implemented in routine clinical care. Objective measures of CPAP compliance, residual respiratory events, and leaks can be easily monitored, but limitations exist. This review aims to assess the role of TMg in CPAP-treated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. We report recent data related to the accuracy of parameters measured by CPAP and try to determine the role of TMg in CPAP treatment follow-up, from the perspective of both healthcare professionals and patients. Measurement and accuracy of CPAP-recorded data, clinical management of these data, and impacts of TMg on therapy are reviewed in light of the current literature. Moreover, the crucial questions of who and how to monitor are discussed. TMg is a useful tool to support, fine-tune, adapt, and control both CPAP efficacy and compliance in newly-diagnosed OSA patients. However, clinicians should be aware of the limits of the accuracy of CPAP devices to measure residual respiratory events and leaks and issues such as privacy and cost-effectiveness are still a matter of concern. The best methods to focus our efforts on the patients who need TMg support should be properly defined in future long-term studies.

The Effect of Telemonitoring (TM) on Improving Adherence with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA): A Service Improvement Project (SIP). Healthcare (Basel) 2022; 10:healthcare10030465. [PMID: 35326943 PMCID: PMC8951405 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare10030465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
The benefits of CPAP demonstrated in clinical trials are difficult to deliver in real life due to the lack of adherence. We analysed the effect of a Telemonitoring (TM)-related intervention on adherence as part of a Service Improvement Project (SIP) analysed as a retrospective cohort study. The ‘historical control’ (HC) cohort (followed up in conventional clinics) included all patients who commenced on CPAP between 1 February and 30 April 2019 (n = 142). The ‘telemonitoring’ (TM) cohort included all patients who commenced on CPAP between 1 May and 31 July 2019 (n = 166). Adherence was checked at 30 days (baseline) and 73 days for both cohorts. Wilcoxon—Rank test was used for statistical analysis (results reported as mean ± SEM). Both cohorts had similar adherence at the 30-day baseline, compared to a significantly lower adherence in the HC-cohort at 73 days (55.7 ± 3.0 vs. 51.8 ± 3.2% of days ≥ 4 h: p = 0.0072, average usage 255 ± 12.8 vs. 236 ± 13.7 min: p = 0.0003). There was a significantly higher adherence in the TM-cohort at 73 days (50.8 ± 2.5 vs. 56.1 ± 2.9% of days ≥ 4 h: p = 0.0075; average usage 234 ± 10.4 vs. 252 ± 12.1 min: p = 0.0456). Telemonitoring-feedback is effective at improving adherence with CPAP, suggesting its potential beneficial role in the community setting, particularly in the post-COVID reality of increased remote consultations.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is considered to be an important predisposing factor for cardiovascular diseases. The main objective of this study was to investigate the impact of CPAP treatment on cardiac structure and function and to assess patient compliance over a long-term course of CPAP treatment. A total of 50 patients diagnosed with moderate-to-severe OSAS based on overnight study, without relevant concomitant diseases were enrolled. Patient compliance, along with echocardiographic and CPAP parameters, was assessed. The average time to follow-up was 38 ± 4.2 months. An increase in tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) (22.1 ± 4.3-25.5 ± 4.6 mm, p = 0.005) and peak early systolic tricuspid annular velocity (S') (14 ± 3.2-17.2 ± 5.2 cm/s, p = 0.005) after CPAP treatment was noted. In patients without CPAP, no significant change in right ventricular (RV) contractility was found. There were no significant differences regarding right atrial (RA) and RV diameters, as well as tricuspid regurgitant peak gradient (TRPG) in both groups; however, a predisposition to increased RA size along with RV and tricuspid annulus diameters was revealed. The mean duration of nightly CPAP use was 3 ± 2.3 h/night in all-day analysis and 4.7 ± 2.1 h/night on days with device usage. The non-adherence rate was 57%. The use of effective CPAP therapy may lead to increased RV systolic function in patients with OSAS in long-term observation. However, long-term patient compliance is generally poor. Regardless of CPAP therapy, a gradual increase in heart size is observed.

Abstract
The aims of the present prospective clinical study were to determine objective, sensor-measured adherence to a mandibular advancement device (MAD) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to identify partner-specific adherence-related factors. A total of 77 eligible participants with mild, moderate, or severe OSA and who were non-adherent to continuous positive airway pressure (mean age 56.2 years) participated in the study (32.5% women). The mean (range) observation time between MAD delivery and final follow-up was 8.3 (3.4-16.5) months. The mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was 26.6 events/hr at baseline and 12.5 events/hr at the 8-month follow-up (both p < 0.001). The mean sensor-measured adherence at the 8-month follow-up was 60.1% for ≥4 hr/night of appliance use for ≥5 days/week. Average usage was 6.4 hr/night, when worn. The mean reduction in the AHI was significantly greater in the "good adherence" (Δ 17.4) than the "poor adherence" group (Δ11.0; p < 0.05). From the partner's perspective, the appliance had a positive effect on sharing a bedroom in the good- (55%) compared to the poor-adherence group (25%; p < 0.05) and on their relationship (51.7% versus 17.9%, respectively; p < 0.05). Regression analyses identified the partner's snoring and apneas to be the most significant factor predicting good adherence to MAD (odds ratio 4.4, 95% confidence interval 1.4-14.0). In conclusion, social factors, like partner perceptions, were positively associated with adherence, which indicate that partner's attitudes and support may be a resource that can be utilised to improve adherence in oral appliance treatment of OSA.

Abstract
Interest in telemedicine has increased exponentially. There is a growing body of published evidence on the use of telemedicine for patients using continuous positive airway pressure. Telemedicine-ready devices can support the transmission on use time, apnea-hypopnea index, and leakage. This approach enables early activation of troubleshooting. Automated, personalized feedback for patients and patient access to their own data provide unprecedented opportunities for integrating comanagement approaches, multiactor interactions, and patient empowerment. Telemedicine is likely cost effective, but requires better evidence. Notwithstanding barriers for implementation that remain, telemedicine has to be embraced, leaving the physician and patient to accept it or not.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES A telemonitoring system is a promising wireless technology that possibly enhances adherence to CPAP therapy. The study aimed to determine the effect of a telemonitoring system on CPAP therapy adherence among Asian patients with moderate-to-severe OSA. METHODS A prospective randomized controlled trial enrolled 60 Asian adults (70% male) with moderate-to-severe OSA. Thirty patients each were randomized to a group using CPAP with a telemonitoring system or a group using CPAP with usual care. The telemonitoring system functioned by transferring CPAP-usage data via cellular network. When there were any triggers occurring 2 nights consecutively (usage hours < 4 hours per night; leakage > 27 L/min or AHI > 5 events/h), the investigator contacted the patients. The primary outcome was the 4-week CPAP usage hours per night. The secondary outcomes included the percentage of good adherence (defined as a 4-week period of therapy with CPAP usage > 4 hours/night on > 70% of total days), median leakage per night, adverse events from CPAP therapy, sleep quality improvement, and daytime sleepiness reduction. RESULTS The mean AHI was 50.3 events/h. The mean 4-week CPAP usage hours per night were insignificantly higher in the telemonitoring group (5.16 ± 1.47 hours/night vs 4.42 ± 1.91 hours/night; P = .18). However, the percentage of good adherence was significantly higher in the telemonitoring group (64.2% vs 34.4%; P = .024). Median leakage per night was also significantly lower in the telemonitoring group. Furthermore, significant sleep quality improvement was observed in the telemonitoring group. Overall adverse events and daytime sleepiness reduction were not different. CONCLUSIONS The telemonitoring system implementation showed a trend toward increasing CPAP nightly usage hours and significantly improved adherence and sleep quality among Asian patients with moderate-to-severe OSA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypertension is a common public health problem and a key modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Home blood pressure (BP) telemonitoring (HBPT) and management is associated with improved BP control, accelerated delivery of care and decision-making strategies that can reduce adverse outcomes associated with hypertension. The aim of this paper is to describe the protocol for a systematic review to assess the impact of HBPT interventions used for improving BP control and reducing CV and kidney outcomes in non-dialysis CKD patients. METHODS We developed this protocol using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses for Protocols 2015. We will search empirical databases such as MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science and PsycINFO and grey literature for studies conducted in non-dialysis CKD patients on interventions using HBPT and reporting outcomes related to BP control and other outcomes such as CV events and kidney disease progression. All studies meeting these criteria, in adults and published from inception until 2020 with no language barrier will be included. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval will not be required for this review as the data used will be extracted from already published studies with publicly accessible data. As this study will assess the impact of HBPT on BP control in non-dialysis CKD patients, evidence gathered through it will be disseminated using traditional approaches that includes open-access peer-reviewed publication, scientific presentations and a report. We will also disseminate our findings to appropriate government agencies. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020190705).

Video Consultation as an Adequate Alternative to Face-to-Face Consultation in Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Use for Newly Diagnosed Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Randomized Controlled Trial. JMIR Form Res 2021; 5:e20779. [PMID: 33973866 PMCID: PMC8150406 DOI: 10.2196/20779] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2020] [Revised: 10/25/2020] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is dependent on the degree of use, so adherence is essential. Cognitive components (eg, self-efficacy) and support during treatment have been found to be important in CPAP use. Video consultation may be useful to support patients during treatment. So far, video consultation has rarely been evaluated in thorough controlled research, with only a limited number of outcomes assessed. Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the superiority of video consultation over face-to-face consultation for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on CPAP use (minutes per night), adherence, self-efficacy, risk outcomes, outcome expectancies, expectations and experiences with video consultation, and satisfaction of patients and nurses. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted with an intervention (video consultation) and a usual care group (face-to-face consultation). Patients with confirmed OSA (apnea-hypopnea index >15), requiring CPAP treatment, no history of CPAP treatment, having access to a tablet or smartphone, and proficient in the Dutch language were recruited from a large teaching hospital. CPAP use was monitored remotely, with short-term (weeks 1 to 4) and long-term (week 4, week 12, and week 24) assessments. Questionnaires were completed at baseline and after 4 weeks on self-efficacy, risk perception, outcome expectancies (Self-Efficacy Measure for Sleep Apnea), expectations and experiences with video consultation (covering constructs of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology), and satisfaction. Nurse satisfaction was evaluated using questionnaires. Results A total of 140 patients were randomized (1:1 allocation). The use of video consultation for OSA patients does not lead to superior results on CPAP use and adherence compared with face-to-face consultation. A significant difference in change over time was found between groups for short-term (P-interaction=.008) but not long-term (P-interaction=.68) CPAP use. CPAP use decreased in the long term (P=.008), but no significant difference was found between groups (P=.09). Change over time for adherence was not significantly different in the short term (P-interaction=.17) or long term (P-interaction=.51). A relation was found between CPAP use and self-efficacy (P=.001), regardless of the intervention arm (P=.25). No significant difference between groups was found for outcome expectancies (P=.64), self-efficacy (P=.41), and risk perception (P=.30). The experiences were positive, and 95% (60/63) intended to keep using video consultation. Patients in both groups rated the consultations on average with an 8.4. Overall, nurses (n=3) were satisfied with the video consultation system. Conclusions Support of OSA patients with video consultation does not lead to superior results on CPAP use and adherence compared with face-to-face consultation. The findings of this research suggest that self-efficacy is an important factor in improving CPAP use and that video consultation may be a feasible way to support patients starting CPAP. Future research should focus on blended care approaches in which self-efficacy receives greater emphasis.

Abstract
The main aim of this international consensus document on obstructive sleep apnea is to provide guidelines based on a critical analysis of the latest literature to help health professionals make the best decisions in the care of adult patients with this disease. The expert working group was formed primarily of 17 scientific societies and 56 specialists from a wide geographical area (including the participation of 4 international societies), an expert in methodology, and a documentalist from the Iberoamerican Cochrane Center. The document consists of a main section containing the most significant innovations and a series of online manuscripts that report the systematic literature searches performed for each section of the international consensus document. This document does not discuss pediatric patients or the management of patients receiving chronic non-invasive mechanical ventilation (these topics will be addressed in separate consensus documents).

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, is effectively treated with positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. The magnitude of improvements in daily functioning and reduced negative health risks are dependent on maintaining PAP adherence, which is a significant challenge. Evidence-based interventions to improve PAP use are not easily translated to clinical practice because they are labor-intensive and require specialty expertise. Further, to date, individualized care, inclusive of personalized medicine and patient- and person-centered care have been marginally incorporated in the field's understanding of OSA and PAP adherence. This integrative review describes current PAP adherence assessment processes, interventions to improve adherence, and outlines future opportunities to advance the field, particularly as it relates to individualizing care and the use of implementation science to apply evidence to practice.
