Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of video consultation versus face-to-face consultation for patients with obstructive sleep apnea on patients' CPAP use (minutes/per night), self-efficacy, risk outcomes, outcome expectancies, experiences with technology and, patients' and nurses' satisfaction.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of video consultation versus face-to-face consultation for patients with obstructive sleep apnea on patients' CPAP use (minutes/per night), self-efficacy, risk outcomes, outcome expectancies, experiences with technology and, patients' and nurses' satisfaction.

This study is a non-blinded randomized controlled trial with an intervention group (video consultations) and a usual care group (face-to-face consultations), with assessements after 1, 2, 3, 4, 12 and 24 weeks.

Patients were recruited from a large teaching hospital (Rijnstate, hospital), and included from January 2, 2019 until June 26, 2019.In total, 140 patients were randomized, (1:1 allocation).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Video consultation

Patients in the video consultation group will receive video consultations.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Video consultation

Intervention Type OTHER

The first video consultation with a nurse was planned one week after start with CPAP. Three focus points were discussed during the consultations: 1) adherence (\>6 hours per night); 2) rest AHI \< 5 (or \<10 if age \>70), and 3) (improvements in) complaints. If these objectives were achieved after one week, a new consultation was planned three weeks later (four weeks after start). As long as these objectives were not achieved, video consultations were planned weekly (until after four weeks).

Face-to-Face consultation

Patients in the usual care group will receive face-to-face consultations.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
