Title: Comparison of Auto-Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Device(Auto-CPAP) With Conventional Fixed CPAP in Chinese Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
Brief Summary: AutoCPAP would lead to better compliance than FixCPAP


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects on admission for sleep study under the Respiratory Care and Sleep Control Medicine, Kyoto University Hospital.
* Subjects diagnosed with OSA (apnea hypopnea index \>=5/hour) by overnight polysomnography.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subjects diagnosed with CSA by overnight polysomnography.
* Subjects ever used CPAP for OSA.
B: Inclusion Criterion:

1. Age 21-75
2. New Diagnosis of OSA with a baseline RDI ≥ 15 events/hr of sleep determined by either full night or split night PSG
3. Able and willing to provide written informed consent
4. Able to follow study procedures
5. Sub-optimal PSG titration with at least 3 hours of attempted PAP titration (defined below): and deemed by their physician as a titration failure

Sub-optimal PSG titration: at least one of the following:

1. Poor sleep efficiency during titration period (sleep efficiency ≤ 70%) (participants may be on sleep medications as per standard lab CPAP protocol ) or;
2. Frequent arousals based on three seconds of alpha frequency on EEG (non PLM-related) of 20 or greater per hour during the titration portion of the study or;
3. CPAP titration aborted due to participant's request (due to intolerance), or
4. Persistent sleep disruption despite therapeutic CPAP therapy and in the judgment of the reviewing physician, suggesting a low probability to CPAP adherence

Exclusion Criterion:

1. Participation in another interventional research study within the last 30 days
2. Major uncontrolled medical or psychiatric condition such as congestive heart failure, neuromuscular disease, renal failure etc.
3. Prior CPAP or Bi-Level PAP use (within last 2 years)
4. Chronic respiratory failure or insufficiency, moderate COPD (FEV1 \< 60%), or any known condition of an elevation of arterial carbon dioxide levels while awake
5. Surgery of the upper airway, nose, sinus, or middle ear within the previous 90 days
6. Presence of an untreated, diagnosable, non-OSA related sleep disorder (e.g. restless legs syndrome, insomnia, etc.)
7. Periodic Limb movement arousal index of 10 or greater.
8. Refusal to consider further interventions to standard CPAP to optimize positive pressure therapy (e.g. different mask than what was used in lab)
9. PAP therapy otherwise medically complicated or contraindicated such as those with a difficult to size or adjust interface (mask) resulting in facial pain, skin irritation or trauma, or excessive air leaks
10. Shift workers or people experiencing jet lag
11. Known history of alcohol and or drug abuse
12. Diagnosis of Complex Sleep Apnea, (appears to be classic obstructive or mixed sleep apnea, but exhibits disruptive central apneas and periodic breathing on CPAP) 11, 12 or persistent central apnea during diagnostic PSG.
13. Diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
14. Chronic Hypnotic use (nightly use for three months or less)
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* All subjects should be CPAP naïve.
* OSA confirmed with sleep study
* Presence of daytime symptoms with excessive daytime sleepiness
* Age between 18 to 65
* RDI greater than 30
* Agreed to participate in trial with informed consent signed

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients not suitable to nasal CPAP because of facial abnormality leading to poor mask fitting.
* Patients with known COPD with type II failure
* Patients with known heart failure.
* Patients with predominant central sleep apnea.
* Patients need bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation.
* Patients refusing to participate the trial.
* Patients have difficulty to follow up regularly.
* patients with untreated or under treatment of hypothyroidism
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* age between 18 and 80 years
* patients who gave written informed consent
* patients who subscribed a social insurance
* SAOS patients who need CPAP treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

* cardiac failure known and treated
* central Apnea syndrome
* patients who stopped CPAP treatment in the previous year
* pregnant women
* patients under guardianship
* imprisoned patients, patients in hospital
* patients included in an other clinical study

Answer: C
