Avant leur mise sur le marché, l'évaluation clinique des médicaments repose sur des essais contrôlés randomisés. Bien qu'ils représentent la méthode de référence, leurs résultats sont nécessairement limités aux patients inclus dans ces essais. De plus, ils sont d’abord conçus pour mesurer l'efficacité des traitements, avant d’évaluer leurs effets indésirables. Concernant le syndrome d'apnées du sommeil (SAS), alors que de nombreux essais médicamenteux ont été menés, la plupart des résultats sont de faible niveau de preuve, voire contradictoires.

Abstract:

Background. Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is associated with an increase in nocturnal gastro-oesophageal reflux (nocturnalGOR) events and symptoms, however the mechanism for this remains undefined. Treatment of OSA with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been shown to reduce nocturnalGOR in individuals with OSA however the reasons for this reduction are not clear. The combination of OSA and nocturnalGOR could be particularly problematic for individuals who have had a lung transplant in whom Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) limits survival. It is thought that GOR plays a rol

Abstract:

Poor adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) limits its therapeutic effectiveness and has a major impact on clinical outcomes. Effective education programme is important to enhance CPAP use. However, existing education programmes are either manpower or resource demanding and may not be feasible in clinical practice. Moreover, the Self-Efficacy Measure for Sleep Apnoea (SEMSA) has been widely adopted for assessing adherence-related cognitions on CPAP therapy in OSA patients, but it was not available for Chinese.

Abstract:

　　　Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder and is associated with a range of adverse physical, social and psychological outcomes that affect quality of life (QoL). Two systematic reviews of the literature (part of this thesis work) found there is conflicting evidence of how different mandibular advancement device (MAD) designs features may affect clinical and subjective OSA outcomes in certain patients. Therefore, a randomized cross-over trial was conducted. Firstly, the correlation between clinical OSA indicators and QOL was explored among patients

More is becoming known about the importance of sleep to health, with inadequate sleep recognised as a significant public health issue. Sleep clinics have reported disproportionate numbers of Māori and Pacific peoples with more severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), raising concerns about accessibility of services and possible differences in prevalence between ethnic groups. Prevalence information on sleep disorders in Aotearoa is needed to assess its public health impact and plan for population health care needs.

While obstructive sleep apnea among children with Down syndrome is very common, the pre-existing risk factors and its impact to neurodevelopment are not well known.

The prevalence of OSA has great variation among different countries but are relatively high, ranging from 57% to 79%. OSA was significant associated with obesity

Abstract:

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disorder consisting of episodes with impaired breathing due to obstruction of the upper airways. Treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a potentially effective treatment, but adherence is low. Several potential factors affecting adherence, e.g., subjective sleepiness and personality, are only quantifiable through questionnaires. Better knowledge about psychometric properties of such questionnaires might improve future research on CPAP adherence and thus lead to better treatment options. Aim: Study I: To descr

Abstract:

The predisposing factors leading to the development of sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (SAHS) in many cases are unclear. Snoring, a prerequisite for SAHS, runs in families. There have been reports of familial SAHS in several families but this may have resulted from an association with obesity. I have therefore investigated whether SAHS is familial. In a pilot study breathing and oxygen desaturation data during sleep in 40 first degree relatives of 20 non obese SAHS patients has been compared with that in retrospective controls. Ten out of 40 relatives had >15 apnoeas+hypopnoeas/hr of sleep and

Twenty-nine patients were recruited with Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) of more than 10 and apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHI) was more than 15. Ten healthy control subjects were also studied.

Le syndrome d'apnée du sommeil (SAS) est une maladie multifactorielle caractérisée par des épisodes récurrents de pauses respiratoires ou des réductions significatives de l'amplitude respiratoire pendant le sommeil. Ces épisodes peuvent provoquer des réactions cardiorespiratoires aiguës; délétères à long terme. Plusieurs thérapies ont été proposées, étant la pression positive continue des voies respiratoires (CPAP) le traitement de référence.
