University of Chicago212 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to determine how satisfied patients are when undergoing an overnight polysomnogram (sleep study), what their knowledge about sleep apnea is, and what factors affect obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment use.

The effects of educational interventions on subject compliance, satisfaction, and knowledge of their condition will be examined through the use of video vs pamphlet and MD vs staff contact for follow-up visit reminder.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

CPAP Therapy Adherence

Subject use of CPAP device will be monitored electronically. Subjects will be randomized to educational intervention of either viewing a video or reading a pamphlet prior to in-laboratory split night polysomnogram (sleep study) and initiation of CPAP therapy, and CPAP adherence rates of the two groups will be compared and reported.

Time frame: 30 days post in-lab split night polysomnogram

Secondary Outcomes

Subject compliance with sleep clinic appointment

Subjects will be randomized to receive a reminder call for follow up clinic appointment either from MD or staff, and the compliance rates of the two groups will be compared based on call type and educational intervention type.

Time frame: within 3 months after the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram

Patient Knowledge About Sleep Apnea and CPAP Therapy

Subjects will be administered 2 questionnaires which measure knowledge about their condition, both before and after the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram (sleep study). The scores of the two questionnaires will be combined for both test administrations. Subjects will be randomized to educational intervention of either viewing a video or reading a pamphlet prior to sleep study and initiation of CPAP therapy, and the change in the combined questionnaire scores of the two groups will be compared and reported.

Time frame: 1 day post in-laboratory split night polysomnogram

Patient Satisfaction With the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram

Subjects will be administered 2 questionnaires which measure their mood and well-being, both before and after the in-laboratory split night polysomnogram. The questionnaires will be scored and the scores for each subject will be combined at both testing administrations. On the night of the in-laboratory polysomnogram subjects will be randomized to educational intervention of either viewing a video or reading a pamphlet prior to the initiation of the polysomnogram and initiation of CPAP therapy, and the change in the combined questionnaire scores of the two groups will be compared and reported.
