About this study

Official title: Prevalence and Recognition of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Chinese With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

OSA is prevalent among patients with type II DM

Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been reported to be common (prevalence ranged from 23-86%) in previous studies involving Caucasian diabetic patients. The investigators aim at finding out the prevalence of OSA in Chinese diabetic patients and identify the clinical predictors associated with OSA.

Recruited subjects will undergo overnight polysomnography, anthropometric measurements, blood tests including glycosylated hemoglobin, renal function, glucose level, blood pressure measurement both during the clinic visit and after admission for in-laboratory sleep study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. presence of OSA

    The diagnosis of OSA will be confirmed with polysomnography

    Measured: measured at a single time point during the recruitment period(2007-08), by polysomnography

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. severity of OSA

    The severity of OSA will be assessed in terms of apnea hypopnea index, minimal oxygen saturation, duration of desaturation, arousal index during polysomnography

    Measured: measured at a single time point during the recruitment period(2007-08), by polysomnography

  2. glycemic control

    by measuring glycosylated hemoglobin, blood glucose level

    Measured: measured at a single time point, when the subjects were admitted for polysomnography (during 2007-08)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Diabetes Mellitus, run by The University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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 29 Jul 2010. 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 Hong Kong. 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?

presence of OSA (time frame: measured at a single time point during the recruitment period(2007-08), by polysomnography). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01172093, which also lists 7 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 29 Jul 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
