Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Mean CPAP use (hours/day) is measured by reviewing the downloaded data of the CPAP machine at 3 months and 12 months.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Percentage of adherent patients (>4h/day) is measured by reviewing the downloaded data of the CPAP machine at 3 months and 12 months 2. Percentage of treatment discontinuation is measured by reviewing the downloaded data of the CPAP machine at 3 months and 12 months 3. Time of nursing work in minutes measured using a chronometer. The time of nursing work is recorded at the end of each appointment on a specific sheet	—
