Improving our practice of sleep medicine Patient-centered management based on objective assessment of treatment options Importance of long-term outcomes in sleep apnea 6
OSA -Why does it Matter? Stimulate a sympathetic response ( fight or flight response, stress response) Increased Sympathetic tone -increased heart rate + blood pressure, Studies have showed: Increased tonic chemoreflex drive Abnormalities in HR and BP variabilities during normal waking hours in patients with OSA Repeated stimulation Chronic Increased sympathetic tone during the day HTN, CVD and Insulin Resistance/Diabetes, Increased Morbidity+Mortality Our goal in treatment is to reduce sympathetic activation during sleep, independent of how the patient feels.

How Good Is Our Compliance Reports between 30 and 70% Most Studies are short term follow up Data from 4 yr follow up study found compliance of 54%, but this was done by phone calls, not by actual downloads
Long-term compliance with continuous positive airway pressure in patients with obstructive sleep apnea Norman Wolkove MD FRCP, Marc Baltzan MD FRCP DABSM, Hany Kamel MD, Richard Dabrusin MD FRCP, Mark Palayew MD FRCP Eighty patients who had had a diagnosis of OSA at least four years previously and received a written prescription for CPAP were evaluated. Subjects were identified by reviewing sleep laboratory records. Participants were contacted by telephone and were asked to quantitate their CPAP use (hours per night, nights per week) and to evaluate whether there had been improvement in symptoms. Patient characteristics (n=80) Age, years, mean ± SD 58±11 Male subjects, n (%) 70 (88) Apnea-hypopnea index, events/h, mean ± SD 70±44 Continuous positive airway pressure, cm H2O, mean ± SD 8.5±2.2 Follow-up, months, mean ± SD 64.0±3.7
Long-term compliance with continuous positive airway pressure in patients with obstructive sleep apnea Norman Wolkove MD FRCP, Marc Baltzan MD FRCP DABSM, Hany Kamel MD, Richard Dabrusin MD FRCP, Mark Palayew MD FRCP At the time of the interview: 54% (43 of 80 patients) were Still Using CPAP and most reported an improvement in symptoms. 15% (12of 80 patients) had Abandoned CPAP after using it for 10-15 months 31% (25 of 80 patients) had Never Commenced CPAP after initial diagnosis diagnosis and CPAP titration.
What are we doing with CPAP non-users? As Sleep Practitioners What are we doing with our non-compliant OSA patients? Compliance is between 30-70% We are lying to ourselves if we don t embrace alternative therapies besides CPAP We re doing a disservice to our OSA patients
The Problem with CPAP Poor compliance We can no longer ignore persistent sleep apnea Compromises outcomes We NEED an additional therapy 18

Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT)
Clinical Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Snoring with Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT): An Update for 2015 Recommendations: When OAT is prescribed by Sleep Physician for OSA - suggest -Qualified Dentists use a Custom, Titratable OAT. (GUIDELINE) Recommend Sleep Physicians consider prescription of OAT, rather than no treatment, for OSA Patients who are intolerant of CPAP therapy or prefer alternate therapy. (STANDARD)

Oral Appliance Therapy Accounts for roughly 5% of the total OSA therapy Preferred by most patients; compliance is better So why are oral appliances under utilized? 28
Inconsistent Efficacy AHI < 5 (i.e. complete response) occurs in 48% of patients AHI < 10 (very mild disease) occurs in 64% of patients Which ones?

J Clin Sleep Med 2014; 10(2): 215-227. 29
CPAP vs. OAT Where are we today? Randomized clinical trials with CPAP vs. OAT have yielded comparable outcomes Why? Inconsistent efficacy of OAT offsets poor compliance of CPAP With accurate patient selection OAT outcomes will be better than CPAP Phillips CL et al. Health outcomes of continuous positive airway pressure versus oral appliance treatment for obstructive sleep apnea: A randomized controlled trial. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2013; 187(8): 879-87. 30
Another Concern The dentist uses a trial and error method to adjust the mandible 31
Dr. White s Point of View The real problem is our current inability to determine if (an oral appliance) will work in a given patient... We should use a temporary, inexpensive device (that) can be mechanically advanced during a sleep study to determine efficacy. If it is efficacious, a custom device could be fabricated and used by the patient. White DP, Continuous positive airway pressure versus the mandibular advancement splint; Are they equally effective in obstructive sleep apnea management? Am J Resp Crit Care Med 2013 Editorial; Vol 187: 795-7. 32
Important Points Patient characteristics relating to OAT success and reliable prediction methods are a high research priority Predictions tests must be able to discriminate OAT responders and non-responders Studies using remote-controlled mandibular advancement shows good accuracy in predicting OAT outcome and efficacious protrusive position Sutherland K, Vanderveken OM, Tsuda H, Marklund M, Gagnadoux F, Kushida CA, Cistulli PA; on behalf of the ORANGE-Registry. Oral appliance treatment for obstructive sleep apnea: An update. J Clin Sleep Med 2014; 10(2): 215-227. 33
Consensus of the Experts The ORANGE-Registry identifies MATRx as a significant advance in the field of oral appliance therapy Overall the initial study using this device as a prediction tool shows good accuracy in identifying patients who will be fully treated by OA as well as the likely mandibular protrusion level. Sutherland K, Vanderveken OM, Tsuda H, Marklund M, Gagnadoux F, Kushida CA, Cistulli PA; on behalf of the ORANGE-Registry. Oral appliance treatment for obstructive sleep apnea: An update. J Clin Sleep Med 2014; 10(2): 215-227. 34
MATRx A remotely-controlled mandibular protrusion device enabling physicians to: 1. Accurately select patients who will respond to oral appliance therapy and 2. Prescribe the therapeutic protrusive position for each responder 35
Temporary Dental Trays Remote-controlled Mandibular Positioner Trays with Impressions 36
Patient Workflow 37
The MATRx Study Night Polysomnogram (PSG) based study using temporary titration trays Mandible is protruded by mouse click in the control room, while the patient sleeps Mandibular position is titrated within the specified range using 0.2mm steps, in response to respiratory events If possible, patient is studied in supine and lateral, REM and NREM 38
Just like CPAP titration 39
Interpretation of MATRx data Criteria needed for predicting success with oral appliance therapy: 1 or less apnea or hypopnea in a 5 minute window of REM supine REM lateral can be used if REM supine is not observed AND the patient is a confirmed side sleeper 40
Case Study 1 Obese Patient with Severe OSA Patient Profile 42 year old female Pre-study AHI = 41.4 BMI = 32.3 Tray Fitting Lower Limit (Resting Position) = 10.0mm Upper Limit (Maximum Protrusion) = 17.0mm 41
Case Study 2 Obese Patient with Moderate OSA Patient Profile 76 year old male Pre-study AHI = 17.9 BMI = 32.0 Tray Fitting Lower Limit (Resting Position) = 12.0mm Upper Limit (Maximum Protrusion) = 19.0mm 43
Research & Validation Three prospective studies have validated the MATRx device Most recent clinical trial on 67 patients showed high predictive accuracy See October 2013 issue, SLEEP Remmers J, Charkhandeh S, Grosse J, Topor Z, Brant R, Santosham P, Bruehlmann S. Remotely controlled mandibular protrusion during sleep predicts therapeutic success with oral appliances in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. SLEEP 2013; 36(10): 1517-25. 45
Inclusion Criteria Broad spectrum of patients: Obstructive sleep apnea (AHI > 10 hr -1 ) Body mass index < 40 kg/m 2 46
Therapeutic Outcome 29
Predicting Outcome - by Clinical Features Baseline AHI, BMI or Positional dependence of AHI None of these, alone or in combination, predicted therapeutic outcome Adjusted neck circumference and age were weakly predictive 48
Predicting Outcome - by MATRx Results 49
Predictive Accuracy 50
Target Predictive Accuracy Correct Target Prediction 27 Incorrect Target Prediction 2 PPV = 93% 51
AHI (events hr -1 ) BMI (kg m -2 ) Results - Protrusion Baseline AHI & BMI vs. Final Therapeutic Position Full Protrusion Full Protrusion 52
Thinking outside the box Patient Selection and the Relationship of AHI to BMI AHI (events hr -1 ) BMI (kg m -2 ) 53
Patient Acceptance Readily accepted; overall much better tolerated than a CPAP titration Trays were comfortable No difficulty falling asleep Trays did not dislodge during the study 54
Sleep Medicine Harvard Medical School The Price of Fatigue We estimate the annual economic cost of moderate to severe OSA in the United States to be $65 - $165B, which are greater than asthma, heart failure, stroke and hypertensive disease ($20B - $80B) Unmanaged moderate-severe OSA is estimated to cost an incremental $2,700 - $3,000 in healthcare costs/person in the US Current technology, while effective at treating the disease, is cumbersome and uncomfortable for many Low patient compliance limits the cost effectiveness of treatment for payors 55
Diagnosis to Treatment Fallout Identification of OSA Symptoms Diagnosis of OSA (20%) Titration Study (10%) Treatment Ordered Treatment Accepted (10%) If 100 patients are referred for a sleep study, 42 will end up compliant with treatment per Medicare criteria Compliant with Treatment (35%) Treated 56
Projected Growth in OAT Utilization Revenues reflect sale of goods from appliance manufacturers to dentists 57
3 Key Points There is a new standard of care for patients seeking oral appliance therapy MATRx diversifies the Sleep Center s testing capability, and provides a competitive edge MATRx enables a new channel for attended studies, adding to occupancy rates and revenue 58
Test More Patients Patients who discontinue PAP Patients who reject PAP or diagnostic study up front Dental referral network 59
How does MATRx change things? For the physician: Informs management decisions Increases confidence in the efficacy of oral appliance therapy 60
How does MATRx change things? For the dentist: Improves treatment efficiency with oral appliances Increases percentage of therapeutic success 61
How does MATRx change things? For the patient: Provides an additional therapy to CPAP Improves treatment compliance, quality of life and wellness 62
OSA treatment-final Thoughts Unique opportunity to help patients with both there quality of life but also with their potential longevity Exciting time for Sleep Practitioners(Sleep Dentists, RPSGTs, and Sleep Physicians/Sleep NP s/sleep PA s) to have a major impact on their patients health Need to stress the importance of OSA treatment in terms of broader picture and not only in terms of improvement in symptoms. We need to embrace alternatives to CPAP that are evidence based and quantifiable (e.g. OAT/MATRx) Need to work together all Sleep Practitioners, great time to learn from each other Remember treatment is not always easy
