Detailed Description

The medico-economics protocol will use the MAST (Methodology for Assessment of Telemedicine) criteria. 200 patients will be randomized into 2 arms (telemedicine with GPRS transmission of CPAP data from patients' home and classical follow-up) during the 3 first months of the follow-up. The main end-point is CPAP compliance with the aim of detecting a mean increase of at least 1hr in the use of CPAP.
