Remote Ambulatory Management of Veterans With Sleep Apnea
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating autoadjusting continuous positive airway pressure for Sleep Apnea - Obstructive and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 435 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
Although obstructive sleep apnea, a breathing disorder during sleep, is prevalent and recognized as a major public health concern, most Veterans with this disorder are undiagnosed and therefore untreated. Access to sleep laboratories for testing is limited particularly for those Veterans living in rural areas and Veterans with disabilities that prevent travel to a sleep center. The goal of this study is to compare a web-based telehealth management strategy to in-person management. The telehealth pathway will enable Veterans to be diagnosed and treated without visiting a sleep center. The investigators believe that telehealth management will increase Veterans' access to this specialized care at a cost that is less than in-person delivery but with similar improvements in daytime function.
