Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assess the correction of the apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHI); the method to evaluate this outcome will be the PSG recording. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Cardiovascular function: assessing long-term changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) when using the in BiPAP autoSV Advanced: 1.1. LVEF: assessed by measuring Scan or Isotope imaging 1.2. Left Ventricular Diastolic Function (FDVG) 1.3. Determination of NT-proBNP 2. Improvement of cardiorespiratory function in BiPAP autoSV Advanced: 2.1. Effort Test: measurement of oxygen consumption (VO2max), ventilatory threshold value, ventilatory response to CO2 (VE/VCO2) 2.2. Six-minute walk Test: to assess the distance in meters, heart rate and SaO2 at the end of trial 2.3. PSG: blood average oxygen Saturation (SaO2) and oxygen desaturation index per hour of sleep. The desaturation threshold is set at 3%. In addition, we calculate the time spent with SaO2 <90% 3. Quality of sleep: 3.1. Total time of sleep (in minutes) 3.2. Percentage of REM sleep, slow wave sleep light (I and II), and slow deep (III and IV) 3.3. Index of arousal associated with respiratory events per hour 4. Effectiveness of sleep: ratio of total sleep time and time spent in bed 5. Questionnaires: 5.1. Daytime sleepiness: Epworth Sleepiness Questionnaire (QSE) 5.2. Quality of life Questionnaire Minnesota 6. Acceptance rate expressed by: 6.1. Compliance of more than 4 hours 6.2. Percentage of patients continuing their treatment at 6 months | — |
