Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| AHI (baseline vs. 3 months): apnea hypopnea Index (AHI) derived from standardized polysomnography studies at baseline and 3 months after CPAP treatment initiation (control-group) or MAD therapy initiation (intervention group). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - AHI (baseline vs. 12 months): apnea hypopnea Index (AHI) derived from standardized polysomnography studies at baseline and 12 months after CPAP treatment initiation (control-group) or MAD therapy initiation (intervention group). - Polysomnography parameters: These parameters include apnoea index (AI), hypopnoea index (HI), desaturation index (DI), snoring index (SI), lowest and mean oxygen saturation (SaO2) and sleep efficiency at baseline, 3 and 12 months after treatment initiation. - Functionality of the dentition and jaws: Functionality of the dentition and jaws will be assessed with the standardized MFIQ (Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire) questionnaire at baseline, 3 and 12 months after treatment initiation. - Sleep health and daily functioning: Sleep health and daily functioning will be assessed with the standardized ESS (Epworth Sleepiness Scale) questionnaire at baseline, 3 and 12 months after treatment initiation. - Therapy compliance: Patient compliance will be evaluated with a chip integrated in the MADs (monitoring total wearing time with temperature sensors) or monitored by the CPAP devices. A multi-week average compliance (% wearing time >4 hours per night) will be measured at the time period of 3 and 12 months after treatment initiation. - Quality of life (QoL): QoL will be measured with the standardized FOSQ-questionnaire at baseline, 3 and 12 months after treatment initiation. | — |
