Treatment of sleep-disordered breathing in opioid users with adaptive servo-ventilation: a subgroup analysis of the European READ-ASV registry.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

Central sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is associated with negative health outcomes. Intake of opioids influences stability of breathing and can cause central apneas. Screening for and treatment of SDB is recommended for individuals who use opioids. This subanalysis of the READ-ASV (Registry on the Treatment of Central and Complex Sleep-Disordered Breathing with Adaptive Servo-Ventilation) investigated the effects of adaptive servo-ventilation therapy (ASV) on SDB symptoms in people using opioids.

Methods

Patients initiated on ASV who reported intake of opioids at baseline were included in this analysis of real-world registry data. Patients were prospectively followed-up for 12 months. Disease-specific quality of life was assessed with the Functional Outcom
