Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disease which causes or relates to several health and societal conditions. Even though continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine has several benefits for OSA treatment, not all OSA patients purchase it for nightly use. Two studies from Israel found that both physical and phychological factors were related to purchasing of CPAP significantly. However, these studied have not evaluate marketing factors in regarding the CPAP purchasing. Therefore, this study aimed to assess if any predictors related to marketing factors on CPAP purchasing in OSA patients. This study conducted at Sleep Clinic, Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen, Thailand. We enrolled OSA patients who used to perform a CPAP trial for 3-consecutive nights. A self-reported questionnaire, comprised of factors associated with purchasing CPAP, was used in this study. Factors associated with CPAP purchase were computed by using logistic regression analysis. In total, there were 53 patients in the analysis; categorized as did not purchase CPAP group (12 patients; 22.64%) and purchased CPAP group (41 patients; 77.36%). There were two factors remaining in the final model to predict CPAP purchasing. Of those, only one factor was independently associated with purchasing CPAP in OSA patients; insomnia from CPAP. The adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of this factor was 0.341 (0.149, 0.775). In conclusion, marketing factors were not significantly associated with CPAP purchasing. But, insomnia or poor sleep from CPAP did.
