NCT06783998
OSAS is a disease characterized by repeated interruptions and restarts of breathing during sleep. Respiratory muscle sarcopenia is a condition in which the muscle strength of the diaphragm and other respiratory auxiliary muscles decreases, resulting in a decrease in breathing effort. Decreased respiratory effort is an important indicator of OSAS. Age, presence of chronic disease, and obesity increase the presence and severity of respiratory sarcopenia. If OSAS is left untreated, it leads to cardiovascular diseases, dementia, Alzheimer's and even death in early adulthood. In recent years, studies have shown that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), as well as healthy behavior development, preventive health and exercise measures, are important in the management of these diseases. There is no research in the literature on the evaluation of respiratory muscle sarcopenia in OSAS patients. This study aims to evaluate respiratory muscle sarcopenia in OSAS based on a concrete value reflecting respiratory muscle strength and/or volume.

Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) (HAI hypopnea apnea index ≥ 15) is a common pathology, which affects 6 to 17% of the general population. The Alaska study, which involved 480,000 apneic patients newly fitted with CPAP, showed that 76.9% of patients were still under treatment for one year, 62.9% after two years, and 52.3% after three years. All patients who recently diagnosed with OSAS in the Sleep Disorder Unit (unity de Pathologies du Sommeil et de la Vigilance, CHU d'AMIENS-PICARDIE, FRANCE) and who are requiring CPAP will be included. On the day of their hospitalization for the implementation of the CPAP therapy, patients will answer validated questionnaires to assess their level of motivation and adherence to the initiation of treatment but also to assess their knowledge and understanding of the disease and its treatment. These questionnaires will be repeated at the four-month and one-year follow-up consultations (+/- 21 days). The aim of the study is to identify the prognostic factors of adherence to CPAP, leading to a better understanding and management of patients with sleep apnea syndrome.
