Study summary

This multi-center observational study will prospectively collect data from patients who have an indication for servo ventilation therapy. This registry is intended to characterize the patient populations that may benefit from DreamStation BiPAP autoSV therapy (PR DS-autoSV, Philips Respironics, Monroeville, PA) in real life settings. In addition, this registry will assess adherence to the PR DS-autoSV therapy, the therapeutic benefits, collect morbidity and mortality data of servo ventilation in patients with central sleep apnea (CSA) and complex sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).

Study population

The registry will include adult participants with indication and prescription of PR DS-autoSV

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Indication and prescription of PR DS-autoSV
  • Polysomnographic (PSG) or Polygraphic (PG) documentation of sleep-disordered breathing requiring servo ventilation

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with HFrEF - heart failure and low (EF ≤ 45%) and predominant CSA (> 50 % of events)
  • Patients not able to receive positive airway pressure support through a mask due to surgical procedure or anatomical condition
  • Chronic conditions with \< 1 year
  • Significant (COPD) with an /VC \< 70% (GOLD III)
  • Respiratory insufficiency requiring long-term oxygen therapy
  • Daytime hypercapnia at rest (pCO2 > 45 mmHg)
  • Cardiac surgery, PCI, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, within 12 weeks prior to enrolment
  • Cardiac resynchronization or pacemaker implantation within the last 6 months
  • Untreated or therapy Restless legs-Syndrome (RLS)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

FEV1

From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Interventions

  • DeviceDreamStation BiPAP autoSV

    Philips Respironics DreamStation BiPAP autoSV (PR DS-autoSV) is designed to deliver pressure support for patient ventilatory assistance

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Short term Device usage and therapy adherence

    Device usage (hours/ night). Patients will be classified into various adherence subgroups based on the average daily device use at each study interval. The percentage of participants in each of the adherence subgroups will be presented.

    Time frame: 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Long term Device usage and therapy adherence

    EDevice usage (hours/ night). Patients will be classified into various adherence subgroups based on the average daily device use at each study interval. The percentage of participants in each of the adherence subgroups will be presented.

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. Change in Health-related quality of life

    European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions questionnaire EQ 5D- 5L) is a standardized instrument for measuring generic health related quality of life. This tools scores range from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating more problems across five dimensions (5D) which comprise mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression

    Time frame: 6, 12 and 24 months

  3. Change in Subjective sleep quality

    Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

    Time frame: 6, 12 and 24 months

  4. Change in Daytime sleepiness.

    Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). This test consists of eight questions of daily life activities with a number from 0 (not at all likely to fall asleep) to 3 (very likely to fall asleep) which yields a score of 0 to 24, and subjectively quantify sleepiness.25 An ESS score ranging from 0 to 10 is interpreted as normal, scores of 11 to 24 is considered to be abnormal and indicative of increasing levels of excessive daytime sleepiness.

    Time frame: 6, 12 and 24 months

  5. Change on PSG/PG Parameters from baseline

    Disordered breathing events

    Time frame: 6 months

  6. Change on PSG/PG Parameters from baseline

    Quality of Sleep

    Time frame: 6 months

  7. Mortality

    Frequency of death in patients who showed adherence to therapy as compared to those with non-adherence

    Time frame: 6, 12 and 24 months

  8. Causes of death

    causes of death , if available, will be compared in patients who showed adherence to therapy as compared to those with non-adherence

    Time frame: 6, 12 and 24 months

  9. Number of healthcare utilization

    Number of hospitalizations during the minimum of one year follow-up, time to first hospitalization, composite number of unscheduled visits to emergency rooms and/or physician's office) in patients who showed adherence to therapy as compared to those with non-adherence (if data is available)

    Time frame: 6, 12 and 24 months
