Tóm tắt

BACKGROUND: Although seasonal variations in CPAP-usage are often attributed to changes in temperature, no real-world study has evaluated the influence of temperature on long-term CPAP-usage. METHODS: The TempCPAP study is a retrospective real-life cohort study. Adult patients newly treated and undergoing at least 1 month of CPAP were included. Daily 12-PM temperature data from the nearest weather station was assigned to each patient and CPAP-usage was collected using telemonitoring data. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the relationship between temperature and CPAP-usage. RESULTS: 8151 patients (37.2 % women) with a median age of 61 (IQ CONCLUSION: In patients undergoing long-term CPAP therapy, temperatures over 29 °C at 12-PM were associated with reduced CPAP-usage. TRIAL REGISTRATION: TempCPAP is registered with health data hub (n°20475117).
