Background: The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has not been assessed within the United States (US) in over adecade. Objectives:From 2013 to 2016, we calculated annual 2-year limited duration prevalence of diagnosed OSA in a large (~66million), geographically diverse insured population. We evaluated trends by age and sex; and assessed positive airway pressure (PAP) use and excessive sleepiness (hypersomnia diagnosis, or prescriptions for stimulant or wake-promoting agent [WPA]). Methods:Overall and age/sex specific prevalence per 100 insured persons was calculated on an annual basis. The cohort was defined to include those with medical and pharmacy claims activity. To mitigate rule-out diagnoses,cases had to have ≥2 medical claims for OSA within a 6-month period. Overall annual prevalences were directly standardized to the US population using 2016 US age and sex Census weights. Results: Annualage/sex adjusted prevalence of OSA increased from 2.4% in 2013 to 3.4% in 2016. OSA patients had a mean age of 58 years and there was a ≈2:1 male:female prevalence ratio. OSA patients with PAP claims increased from 42.2% to 44.1% over the study period. Excessive sleepiness (hypersomnia or stimulant/WPA prescriptions) for patients with or without PAP use both declined by ≈ 4% -5%. Conclusions:Diagnosed OSA prevalence and PAP use among insured members with claims activity increased during 2013-2016 while clinical markers of excessive sleepiness declined.   Males had a much higher prevalence of OSA than females.

Alternative Treatment Option

Objective Upper airway stimulation (UAS) is an alternative treatment option for patients unable to tolerate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Studies support the safety and efficacy of this therapy. The aim of this registry is to collect retrospective and prospective objective and subjective outcome measures across multiple institutions in the United States and Germany. To date, it represents the largest cohort of patients studied with this therapy. Study Design Retrospective and prospective registry study. Setting Ten tertiary care hospitals in the United States and Germany. Subjects and Methods Patients were included who had moderate to severe OSA, were intolerant to CPAP, and were undergoing UAS implantation. Baseline demographic and sleep study data were collected. Objective and subjective treatment outcomes, adverse events, and patient and physician satisfaction were reviewed. Results The registry enrolled 301 patients between October 2016 and September 2017. Mean ± SD AHI decreased from 35.6 ± 15.3 to 10.2 ± 12.9 events per hour ( P < .0001), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores decreased from 11.9 ± 5.5 to 7.5 ± 4.7 ( P < .0001) from baseline to the posttitration visit. Patients utilized therapy for 6.5 hours per night. There were low rates of procedure- and device-related complications. Clinical global impression scores demonstrated that the majority of physicians (94%) saw improvement in their patients’ symptoms with therapy. The majority of patients (90%) were more satisfied with UAS than CPAP. Conclusions Across a multi-institutional registry, UAS therapy demonstrates significant improvement in subjective and objective OSA outcomes, good therapy adherence, and high patient satisfaction.
