Shift in sleep apnoea type in heart failure patients in the CANPAP trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In patients with heart failure (HF), the predominant type of sleep apnoea can change over time in association with alterations in circulation time. The aim of this study was to determine whether, in some patients with HF, a spontaneous shift from mainly central (>50% central events) to mainly obstructive (>50% obstructive events) sleep apnoea (CSA and OSA, respectively) over time coincides with improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Therefore, sleep studies and LVEFs of HF patients with CSA from the control arm of the Canadian Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Patients with Central Sleep Apnea and Heart Failure (CANPAP) trial were examined to determine whether some converted to mainly OSA and, if so, whether this was associated with an increase in LVEF. Of 98 patients with follow-up sleep studies and LVEFs, 18 converted spontaneously to predominantly OSA. Compared with those in the nonconversion group, those in the conversion group had a significantly greater increase in the LVEF (2.8% versus -0.07%) and a significantly greater fall in the lung-to-ear circulation time (-7.6 s versus 0.6 s). In patients with HF, spontaneous conversion from predominantly CSA to OSA is associated with an improvement in left ventricular systolic function. Future studies will be necessary to further examine this relationship.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
