Background Although adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) effectively supresses central sleep apnoea (CSA), little is known about real-world indications of ASV therapy and its effects on quality of life (QoL). Methods This report details the design, baseline characteristics, indications for ASV and symptom burden in patients enrolled in the Registry on the Treatment of Central and Complex Sleep-Disordered Breathing with Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (READ-ASV). This multicentre, European, non-interventional trial enrolled participants prescribed ASV in clinical practice between September 2017 and March 2021. An expert review board assigned participants to ASV indications using a guideline-based semi-automated algorithm. The primary end-point was change in disease-specific QoL based on the Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) from baseline to 12-month follow-up. Results The registry population includes 801 participants (age 67 +/- 12 years, 14% female). Indications for ASV were treatment-emergent or persistent CSA (56%), CSA in cardiovascular disease (31%), unclassified CSA (2%), coexisting obstructive sleep apnoea and CSA (4%), obstructive sleep apnoea (3%), CSA in stroke (2%) and opioid-induced CSA (1%). Baseline mean apnoea-hypopnoea index was 48 +/- 23 events center dot h(-1) (>= 30 events center dot h(-1) in 78%), FOSQ score was 16.7 +/- 3.0 (<17.9 in 54%) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score was 8.8 +/- 4.9 (>10 in 34%); 62% of patients were symptomatic (FOSQ score <17.9 or ESS score >10). Conclusion The most common indications for ASV were treatment-emergent or persistent CSA or CSA in cardiovascular disease (excluding systolic heart failure). Patients using ASV in clinical practice had severe sleep-disordered breathing and were often symptomatic. One-year follow-up will provide data on the effects of ASV on QoL, respiratory parameters and clinical outcomes in these patients.
