However, suboptimal adherence significantly limits its effectiveness. This study examined the impact of a Sleep Apnea Management (SAM) clinic\u2014an innovative, interactive group intervention providing interpersonal support, education, and resources\u2014on PAP adherence and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) compared to usual care.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Participants with OSA who were newly prescribed PAP therapy and demonstrated suboptimal adherence (defined using CMS criteria during the first two weeks) were randomized to the SAM clinic (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200926) or usual care (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200930) from April 2019 to November 2022 (NCT-03835702). The primary outcome was the change in average daily PAP usage. Secondary outcomes included changes in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and PROMIS scales from baseline to 1 and 3 months. Baseline-adjusted mixed-effects linear and logistic models estimated differences between and within groups.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Fifty-six participants were enrolled with a mean age of 55 years, 57% female, 63% Caucasian, median AHI of 22.8 (IQR: 9.3,39.6), and median baseline PAP usage of 172 min. After 3 months, the mean (95% CI) SAM clinic daily PAP use was 193 (139, 247) minutes vs usual care at 148 (110, 185) minutes with a mean difference of 46(-8, 99) minutes per day (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.093). Within each group, a mean daily difference of 11(-36,57) minutes (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.65) in SAM clinic and -32(-75,12) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.15) in the usual care was observed. No significant differences were observed in PROs between SAM and usual care. Within each group, ESS change was -0.7(-2.5,1.2) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.48) in SAM clinic and -2.5(-4.2, -0.83) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.004) in usual care.

Improvement in PROMIS sleep-related impairment was noted within both groups: SAM clinic at -3.0(-6.2,0.1) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.059) and usual care group at -3.5(-6.4, -0.60) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.019).
