Abstract
Summary. The study was aimed at determination of acceptability of and compliance to CPAP among Armenians with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). A portable recording device was used to diagnose OSAS. Snoring, nasal flow, oxygen saturation and pulse rate were recorded. Thirty nine patients with moderate to severe OSAS (AHI ≥ 15) were offered CPAP therapy, of them, 20 patients agreed to undergo a pressure titration and night trial with CPAP. A card embedded in the CPAP device electronically recorded compliance. After night trial, 14 males (35.6 %) were administered long-term CPAP therapy. Significant difference between “acceptors“ and “refusers“ was found in AHI (74.5 ± 22.6 vs 41.7 ± 28.4; p < 0.001), oxygen desaturation index (70.3 ± 22.6 vs 37.6 ± 24.5; p < 0.001) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (20.7 ± 4.2 vs 14.7 ± 7.5; p < 0.01). The mean compliance to CPAP therapy was 83 %. The study revealed low acceptability of and high compliance to CPAP therapy among Armenians with OSAS.
