Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Apnea–Hypopnea (AHI) obtained from a polysomnography (PSG) sleep study at baseline and each 12 month interval.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Efficacy of the device is measured using Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Pichot Fatigue Scale, Health and Anxiety Scale (HAD) at baseline and each 12 month interval 2. Quality of Life is measured using Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) and Short-Form 36 questionnaires (SF-36) at baseline and each 12 month interval 3. Compliance is measured from the device download at each 12 month interval 4. Safety is assessed by recording adverse events (AE) at each 12 month interval 5. Comfort and satisfaction of participant is measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at each 12 month interval
