Trial summary

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in industrialized countries and the first cause of handicap in adults. Several stroke risk factors were identified such as high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia or cardiac arrhythmias. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Role of Nocturnal Respiratory Disorders on Ischemic Stroke Occurrence

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in industrialized countries and the first cause of handicap in adults. Several stroke risk factors were identified such as high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia or cardiac arrhythmias. Sleep respiratory disorders have been found to be frequent among patients with stroke. Among them obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome seems to be the most important due to its association with high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation.

Stroke can be responsible of central apneas, therefore the differential diagnosis between central apneas and pure OSA after stroke is sometimes difficult. The misidentification of OSA can explain the poor tolerance of CPAP treatment by these patients. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the association between pre-stroke OSA syndrome OSA diagnosed on specific scales and confirmed by polygraphic studies and stroke occurrence.

Read the detailed description
  • Principal Objective : Investigate the association between obstructive sleep apnea diagnosed and hemispheric ischemic stroke
  • Secondary Objective :

Evaluate the relation between obstructive sleep apnea and:

  • stroke mechanisms
  • stroke prognosis
  • post-stroke tolerance to CPAP treatment.
  • Study design :

Prospective case-control study

  • Inclusion criteria :

Patients (150):

Fist ischaemic hemispheric stroke or TIA Age: 50 to 90 French native speaker Able to answer the questions

Controls (600):

Age: 50 to 90 French native speaker Able to answer the questions

  • Exclusion criteria : Patients Haemorrhagic stroke Stroke of the brainstem Past medical history of ischaemic stroke Dementia Confusion Unable to give his informed consent

Controls:

Past medical history of ischaemic stroke Dementia Confusion Unable to give his informed consent

  • Study plan: Cases will be recruited in the stroke unit of the Pr Orgogozo at the Bordeaux University hospital. After verification of inclusion and exclusion criteria Berlin scale will be measured. A polygraphic study will be performed to patients with a Berlin scale > 2. Patients stroke characteristics will be recorded (initial severity, stroke mechanism) at baseline and stroke outcome will be evaluated at 3 months (stroke recurrence and functional outcome).

Controls will be recruited among sex and age matched patients hospitalized at the Bordeaux-University hospital for investigation of non-vascular disorder. After verification of inclusion and exclusion criteria Berlin scale will be measured. A polygraphic study will be performed to subjects with a Berlin scale > 2. Controls will be evaluated at 3 months using a phone interview

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke and Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 1 site in France.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. 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 5 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Stroke recurrence (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Mar 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
