About this trial
This registry is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study of pediatric subjects (ages 18-21 years) who are undergoing implant of the Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation (UAS) System for the treatment of moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Implanted subjects will be followed for 5 years post-implant.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Subject is between 18 and 21 years of age;
Subject has a diagnosis of moderate to severe OSA (15 ≤ AHI ≤ 65) based on a recent sleep study;
Subject has documented failure of, or intolerance to, positive airway pressure treatments, despite attempts to improve compliance;
Subject is contraindicated for, or not effectively treated by, adenotonsillectomy;
Disqualifiers
Subject has a combination of central + mixed apneas > 25% of the total apnea-hypopnea index (AHI);
Subject has any anatomical finding that would compromise the performance of upper airway stimulation, such as the presence of complete concentric collapse of the soft palate;
Subject has any condition or procedure that has compromised neurological control of the upper airway;
Subject is unable, or does not have the necessary assistance, to operate the patient remote;
Trial population

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Evaluation of device and/or procedure related adverse events over time
relevant adverse events will be collected and reported
Evaluation of the improvement of Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) over time
Baseline (pre-implant) AHI compared to AHI after implant (collected and reported at annual study visits). The Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) is the number of apnea and hypopnea events per hour of sleep. A lower AHI indicates less severe sleep apnea.
Secondary outcomes
Evaluation of improvement in Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI) over time
Baseline (pre-implant) Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI) compared to ODI after implant (collected and reported at annual study visits). The Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI) is the number of oxygen desaturations, with at least a 4% drop from baseline, per hour. A lower ODI indicates less severe sleep apnea.
Evaluation of improvement in T90 (defined as total sleep time spent with arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) < 90%) over time
Baseline (pre-implant) T90 compared to T90 after implant (collected and reported at annual study visits). T90 is defined as the total sleep time spent with arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) \< 90%. A lower T90 indicates less severe sleep apnea.
Evaluation of improvement of Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) over time
Baseline (pre-implant) Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) compared to ESS after implant (collected and reported at annual study visits). The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is a validated, self-report instrument that rates a subject's tendency to fall asleep in eight common daily situations. Scores range from 0 to 24, with a lower score indicating less daytime sleepiness. An ESS score of 10 or less is equivalent to the normalized population.
