According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial enrolled 20 people in total — 10 in each group. All 20 participants completed the study, with no drop-outs reported. The trial was comparing two different breathing devices used for sleep apnoea: the Nexus Flow Generator (a modified AutoSet device) and the VPAP Flow Generator 25. It was measuring how well each device controlled breathing disruptions during sleep, as well as how comfortable and satisfying participants found each device to use. The reported data shows that for the main (primary) measures, both devices produced similar results. The number of breathing pauses and partial blockages per hour of sleep — known as the Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index, or AHI — was reported as 1.69 events per hour with the Nexus device and 1.73 events per hour with the VPAP device. The number of times blood oxygen levels dropped per hour was 1.95 with the Nexus device and 1.68 with the VPAP device. For the secondary measures — which asked participants to rate their experience on a scale of 0 to 10 — the reported data shows that breathing comfort was rated 8.0 for the Nexus device and 7.0 for the VPAP device; sleep disturbance caused by the device was rated 9.5 and 8.0 respectively (where a higher score means less disturbance); and how refreshed participants felt in the morning was rated 9.0 for the Nexus device and 8.0 for the VPAP device. It is worth noting that this was a very small study with only 10 people per group, and no further statistical detail was included in the submitted results.
