About this study

Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder linked to serious long-term adverse health consequences; such as hypertension, metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease. Retinal vascular occlusion is related to many systemic illnesses especially hypertension. Obstructive sleep apnea is also related to vascular endothelial dysfunction and vascular endothelial growth factor elevation which causes vision threatening complications of retinal vascular occlusion. Therefore the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and retinal vascular occlusion should be studied.

Being tested
Watchpat 100

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Watchpat 100Device

    Also called Watch-PAT™ 100

    Watchpat 100 is a noninvasive portable sleep monitoring device which monitors peripheral arterial tone, pulse, oxygen saturation, snoring, and body position. Patient places one probe at his or her finger and another sensor at front of the chest and Watchpat 100 monitors the patient overnight.

What is being measured

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

  1. Watchpat-100(noninvasive portable sleep monitoring device)

    Result Data of Watchpat-100 : apnea-hypopnea index(AHI)

    Measured: after finishing the tests with Watchpat-100

  2. Berlin questionnaire

    Incidence of patients at risk for obstructive sleep apnea according to the Berlin questionnaire

    Measured: after finishing the Berlin questionnaire

  3. Epworth sleepiness scale

    Incidence of patients with daytime sleepiness according to the Epworth sleepiness scale.

    Measured: after finishing the Epworth sleepiness sclae
