About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Obstructive Sleep Apnea focused on measuring apnea, cognition, memory, function, amnestic mild cognitive impairment, older adults, Alzheimer's Disease

Eligibility Criteria

55 Years - 89 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion criteria

Participants are included in the study if all of the following criteria are met:

(1) Are able to provide written informed consent by self or legally authorized representative. MacArthur Competency Assessment Tool for Clinical Research (MacCAT-CR) will be used to assess decision making capacity; (2) OSA defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥10, using either a clinical split- or whole-night polysomnography. We chose an AHI cut-off of ≥10 as opposed to ≥15, the conventional cut-off for moderate OSA because split-night studies underestimate the AHI; (3) education-adjusted scores of 28-35 on the modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status; (4) 0-0.5 on the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR); (5) 24-30 on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE); (6) memory impairment approximately 1.0-1.5 standard deviations below normal (adjusted for age and education), determined by scores on the Logical Memory II test; (7) performance approximately 1.0-1.5 standard deviations below normal (adjusted for age and education) in no more than one cognitive domain in addition to memory; (8) medications stable for at least 4 weeks; washout from psychoactive medications (e.g., excluded anti-depressants, neuroleptics, chronic anxiolytics, and sedative hypnotics) for 4 weeks; (9) score of ≤28 on the 21-item Beck Depression Inventory II; (10) a study partner who spends at least 10 hours per week in phone or in-person contact with participant; (11) visual and auditory acuity for testing; (12) 6 or more grades of education completed, or a history to exclude intellectual disability; and (13) English fluency.

Exclusion criteria

Mean CPAP use in this arm was less than 4 hours per night or CPAP use was withdrew for any reason over one year. Attention control intervention was provided by staff.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R)
Memory (immediate and delayed recall) will be assessed using HVLT-R. HVLT-R has been used in elders with Alzheimer's Disease and takes 10 minutes to complete. Total score ranges from 0 to 60, a higher score indicates a better memory (better outcome).
Digit Symbol Subtest (DS)
The Digit Symbol subtest (DS) from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R) was used to measure psychomotor/cognitive processing speed. An age-adjusted total scaled score was used for analysis. The adjusted total score ranges from -5.7 to+27. A higher score indicates a better outcome.
Mini Mental State Evaluation Exam (MMSE)
Global cognitive function will be assessed using MMSE. It is a 30-item cognitive screen measuring orientation, registration, short-term memory, attention/concentration, language, and constructional capacity. Summary score will be used as a measure of global cognitive function. Total score ranges from 0 to 30, equal to and above 24 is normal (better outcome), less than 21 indicates increasing odds of dementia (worse outcome).
Stroop Color and Word Test (SCW)
Attention will be measured using SCW. We used the Golden and Freshwater's (2002) version. This version provides paper stimuli for each trial: in the first, columns of the words"red""blue" and "green" are printed in black ink (Word Reading; W); in the second, columns of the same words are printed in red, blue, or green ink (Color Naming; C); in the third, the words "red" "blue" and "green" are printed in a colored ink (red, blue or green) that does not match the word (Color-Word; CW). Participants read each page aloud as quickly as possible for 45 seconds and receive a score for each trial representing the number of items correctly read aloud. The Interference T-score is obtained by first calculating a deviation score by subtracting a predicted CW score from the obtained raw CW score (in 45s). The obtained deviation score is then converted to an Interference T-score. Lower T scores(T<40) in the Interference condition show reductions in inhibitory control.
The Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT)
Attention/reaction time will assessed using the PVT. The participants sat in a closed and quiet examination room, without any auditory or visual disturbance. A 1-minute mock PVT demonstration was done prior to each test. The PVT visual display was held 14-22 inches from the subject's eyes. The participants were asked to either use the index finger or thumb of their dominant hand to respond to the PVT signals. The participants were instructed to maintain the fastest possible reaction times to a simple visual stimulus: a red light emitting diode displaying time in milliseconds in a window of the portable PVT device. We used number of lapses, defined as mean reaction time above 500 milliseconds (errors of omission) as the primary outcome. Lower score indicates better outcomes (Less lapses).
Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS]
Daytime sleepiness be assessed using ESS. The ESS asks the respondent to rate the likelihood of falling asleep in eight specific situations using a four-point Likert scale ranging from never dozing to high chance of dozing. The scale significantly correlates with the frequency of apneas and is a clinical and research standard for the assessment of daytime sleepiness. The total score ranges from 0 to 24, a higher score indicates higher chance of daytime sleepiness (worse outcome).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Functional Outcomes Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ)
Everyday function will be assessed using FOSQ. It is a 30-item Likert-scale, self-report, disease-specific functional status measure written at the 4th grade level. The total score ranges from 0 to 120, a higher score indicates a better outcome.
Everyday Function Outcome: Everyday Cognition (E-Cog)
This informant-rated composes of multiple subscales, to evaluate cognitively based functional abilities in older adults. The factor structure of Everyday Cognition was assessed with confirmatory factor analysis, which supported a 7-factor model including 1 global factor and 6 domain-specific factors (Everyday Memory, Language, Visuospatial Abilities, Planning, Organization, and Divided Attention). The total mean score ranges from 0 to 57. A higher score indicates a worse outcome.
Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Clinicians' Global Impression of Change Scale (ADCS-CGIC)
Global change (progression) will be assessed using ADCS-CGIC at 1 year. It has 8 categories as markedly improved, moderately improved, minimally improved, not changed, minimally worse, moderately worse, markedly worse, missing response.
Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR)
Cognitive ability will be assessed and staged using CDR. It contains 6 items (memory, orientation, judgement and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies, personal care), and each item ranges from 0 to 3. The total score ranges from 0 to 18, a higher score indicates a worse outcome. We observed the change of CDR score from baseline to 1-year follow up. Improved on CDR was defined as a lower CDR score compared to baseline. Reference group is unimproved, defined as worsened (higher) CDR or unchanged CDR compared to baseline.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been linked to increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but little prospective evidence exists on the effects of OSA treatment in preclinical AD. The objective was to determine if CPAP treatment adherence, controlling for baseline differences, predicts cognitive and everyday function after 1 year in older adults with MCI and to determine effect sizes for a larger trial. The aim of the Mild Cognitive Impairment and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (Memories 1) trial was to determine whether CPAP treatment adherence, controlling for any baseline differences in OSA severity, ApoE4, and other previously identified demographic and patient factors, might predict cognitive and everyday function after 1 year in older adults with amnestic MCI.
Detailed Description
In this prospective open label clinical trial, primary inclusions were age 55-89 years and apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 10. Groups were: (1) MCI, OSA, and CPAP adherent (MCI+CPAP); (2) MCI, OSA, CPAP nonadherent(MCI-CPAP). There were 68 MCI+OSA participants at baseline, and 14 (21%) dropped out during the 1 year follow-up. At 1 year, n=54, with MCI+CPAP group n=29, and MCI-CPAP group n=25. Statistically significant improvements in psychomotor/cognitive processing speed in the MCI+CPAP group versus the MCI-CPAP group were observed at 1 year after adjustment for age, race, and marital status. There were small to moderate effect sizes (ES) for memory, attention, daytime sleepiness, and everyday function, favoring the MCI+CPAP group versus the MCI-CPAP group.

Parallel Assignment
Model Description
Memories 1 was originally designed as a 6-month double-blind randomized controlled pilot trial of active versus placebo CPAP followed by a 6-month open label trial. However, after 1 year of recruitment of 371 individuals, no one consented to be randomized. Both older adults with MCI and their physicians perceived the placebo arm as an unnecessary risk. Although CPAP eliminates OSA, it must be consistently used for at least 4 hours per night for a therapeutic response, and only 30-60% of individuals prescribed CPAP adhere to it. The investigators, the study Data Safety Monitoring Board, and the NIH approved a change to a quasi-experimental study with 2 comparison groups: 1) an MCI, OSA, and CPAP adherent group (MCI+CPAP, ≥4 hr mean CPAP use per night for 1 year); and (2) an MCI, OSA, CPAP non-adherent group (MCI-CPAP, <4 hr mean CPAP use per night for 1 year). The final sample at 1 year consisted of 54 older adults with MCI: (1) MCI+CPAP, n = 29; and (2) MCI-CPAP, n = 25.
