Brief summary
The hypothesis of this work is that the COVID 19 pandemic and the associated lockdowns are likely to modify the adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) treatments among patients with sleep apnea. Identifying these patients and identifying adherence trajectories over time would help mobilize human and telemedicine resources on the patients most in need.
Detailed description
The primary objective of this study is to compare PAP adherence during lockdowns in 2020 with the corresponding weeks during 2019.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in positive airway pressure(PAP)-adherence during the first lockdown versus corresponding 2019 weeks (h/days) | 2020 versus 2019 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in positive airway pressure(PAP)-adherence during the second lockdown versus corresponding 2019 weeks (h/days) | 2020 versus 2019 |
| Change in PAP-adherence 2020 versus 2019 (h/days/weeks) | 2020 versus 2019 |
| Change in the percentage of adherent patients (adherence > 4h/day/week) during the first lockdown versus corresponding 2019 weeks (h/days) | 2020 versus 2019 |
| Change in the percentage of adherent patients (adherence > 4h/day/week) during the second lockdown versus corresponding 2019 weeks (h/days) | 2020 versus 2019 |
| Change in patient adherence 2020 versus 2019 (%). | 2020 versus 2019 |
