About this study

To address the public health importance of sleep disordered breathing and ultimately reduce morbidity through information gained from longitudinal, population-based, epidemiologic studies.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

The investigators have shown that undiagnosed sleep disordered breathing is prevalent for both men and women throughout the range of middle age; multidisciplinary research findings suggest that untreated sleep disordered breathing may lead to significant behavioral and cardiovascular morbidity. The relative risks are of direct application to public health estimates of: How much behavioral and cardiovascular morbidity would be eliminated if prevalence of untreated sleep disordered breathing were significantly reduced? How much reduction in sleep disordered breathing prevalence could be achieved by eliminating the modifiable etiologic factors? Should high risk groups be targeted for early detection of risk factor reduction programs?

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

The study quantified the etiologic role of hypothesized risk factors for sleep disordered breathing, described progression of the pathophysiologic process, and tested causal hypotheses of adverse health outcomes. The study was conducted on a unique, established cohort of over 800 subjects, representative of middle-aged employed adults. Extensive baseline polysomnographic and other data were available on the established cohort of 800 subjects; additional cohorts of 50 perimenopausal women and 200 older adults were added for maximum study power. The research resulted in longitudinal data, over a 5-9 year period, on multiple parameters of sleep, breathing, risk factors and outcomes. The independent relative risks were calculated with multivariate techniques to express the temporal relationships for sleep disordered breathing etiologic factors and for consequences of sleep disordered breathing.

The study was renewed in 1993 and used longitudinal studies to focus on specific questions of greatest relevance to public health, namely: the roles of aging and menopause in the development of sleep-disordered breathing and the effect of sleep disordered breathing on hypersomnolence and systemic hypertension.

The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "Completed Date" entered in the Query View Report System (QVR).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Diseases and Sleep Apnea Syndromes, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005321, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jul 2016.
