Description of the frequency of poor adherence factors in positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP-BPAP-APAP) in patients with OSA belonging to the Central Military Hospital of Colombia between 2015-2020

Abstract
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a complex condition with multiple causative factors contributing to poor adherence to positive pressure systems since problems with device and conditions inherent to the patient. This study aims to describe the frequency of such factors reported in the literature for patients treated between 2015-2020. Methods: Observational, descriptive, case series study. The medical history was reviewed, and a survey was completed. Clinical, physical, and device-related variables were characterized and described. Results: 26 patients were analyzed in this study, 76.9% were male and 23.1% female. The average age of the patients was 51.2 ± 13.2 years. The body mass index (BMI) was 27.8, of which only 7 patients had a normal index (<25; 26.9%). 10 patients at the time of the first consultation do not have daytime sleepiness (38.5%). The apnea hypopnea index (AHI) was on average 37.4/hour ± 17.5. 6 patients with treatment pressure less than or equal to 8 cmH2O (30%) and 14 patients with pressure greater (70%). The residual AHI was on average 8.3 events/hour ± 10.1. Conclusions: The frequency of factors associated with poor treatment adherence underscores the need for comprehensive psychosocial assessments, detailed clinical histories, and thorough physical assessment to identify barriers to adherence and develop effective therapeutic strategies.
