- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary outcome of this study is to determine CPAP adherence (hrs) in both standard of care and audio-visual arms. CPAP counter metres are present in all modern CPAP devices. This is a tamper-proof method whereby machine usage hours are detected by in-device computers and is usually downloaded at clinic follow up[2-months and 12-months (primary endpoint)]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method on-scheduled sleep scientist time (phone calls and clinic consultation) measured in minutes. The Sleep Disorders staff at the Princess Alexandra Hospital already routinely collects this information via the Sleep Disorders database. [2-months and 12-months.];CPAP therapy uptake.<br>All patients initiated on CPAP therapy through the Sleep Disorders Clinic at Princess Alexandra Hospital are offered a review appointment at 2 months and 12 months. The proportion of patients who starts using CPAP therapy by 2 months and 12 months from their sleep study (either on a renal CPAP machine to qualify for the Queensland Health Sleep Disorders Programme or purchased machine) will be assessed. Patients who do not attend their clinic appointment will be contacted by telephone to inquire about CPAP uptake.[2-months and 12-months.]
