Effects of a Therapeutic Education Program on Treatment Adherence Among Patients Prescribed At-home CPAP or At-home NIV

Overview

The primary objective of this study is to study the effect of therapeutic education on patient adherence for at-home continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or at-home non-invasive ventilation. This first study will use data already present in the Association for Home Assistance and Rehabilitation (APARD) database to compare patients who received therapeutic education with a control group who did not.
