Brief summary

Prospective multicenter open-label randomized clinical trial comparing videoconsultation to a face-to-face consultation during the follow-up of apneic patients treated by continuous positive pressure (CPAP) .

Detailed description

The annual management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients treated by continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) aims to maintain an optimal level of care while offering to the patients a combined management of their pathology. This management aims to reduce the risk of cardio-metabolic pathologies. However, the high prevalence of OSA in the general population reduces the ability to explore undiagnosed patients. The contribution of videoconsultation is now available and allows the management of OSA patients treated by CPAP. The objective of this study is to compare the videoconsultation to a face-to-face consultation during the follow-up of apneic patients treated by continuous positive pressure (CPAP) . The results of this study could provide very important new data on the impact of videoconsultation on the monitoring a chronic respiratory pathology such as sleep apnea.

Interventions

Patient randomized on video-consultation group will have a video-consultation with the investigator within 3 months after the randomization. During this consultation, the investigator performs a clinical interrogation in order to collect anthropometric parameters: (sex, age, weight, height, body mass index (BMI)), blood pressure (by blood pressure monitor at home), the level of physical activity (by Actimetry over 7 days), smoking status and alcohol status

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Therapeutic adherence to CPAP3 months after consultationNon inferiority of visioconsultation compared to face-to-face consultation in terms of therapeutic adherence to CPAP evaluated by the difference in compliance 3 months before and 3 months after the consultation
Consultation cost3 months after consultationNon inferiority of visioconsultation compared to face-to-face consultation in terms of consultation cost evaluated by the difference in cost between the 2 types of consultation
Patient satisfaction: questionnaire3 months after consultationNon inferiority of visioconsultation compared to face-to-face consultation in terms of patient satisfaction evaluated by the VSQ-VF questionnaire
