Trial summary

Sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) frequently occurs in obese population undergoing bariatric surgery. There is a need for alternative screening tools for sleep apnea detection in the pre-operative period. The investigators would like to compare ApneaLink and complete polysomnography in this population. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Validation of Apnea LinkTM (ResMed Corporation, Poway, California) for Sleep Apnea Syndrome Screening in a Bariatric Population

Sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) frequently occurs in obese population undergoing bariatric surgery. There is a need for alternative screening tools for sleep apnea detection in the pre-operative period. The investigators would like to compare ApneaLink and complete polysomnography in this population.

Read the detailed description

OSA can occur in up to 78% of patients undergoing bariatric surgery(1). Moderate to severe case will benefit from CPAP therapy, that can help avoiding post-operative complications(2).

In this population, the investigators propose complete attended in-hospital polysomnography (PSG)in patients with a clinical high probability of OSA.

According to obesity epidemics (3), waiting list for PSG in sleep labs is every day longer.

The investigators want to assess sensitivity and specificity of a new portable screening tool, ApneaLink, to detect OSA in a bariatric population.

Design:

monocentric and prospective study

Methods:

Patients:

  • OSA suspicion based on :
  • symptoms and signs (snoring, apneas , neck circumference >38 (women) or 43cm (men))
  • BMI > 50
  • BMI > 40, > 40 y
  • BMI > 35, men, hypertension
  • increased serum Bicarbonate
  • Polyglobulia

Measurements

  • Polysomnography in sleep lab with concommitant recording performed with Apnea LinkTM (nasal flow and oxymétry recording).
  • between 2 weeks : recording performed with Apnea LinkTM (nasal flow and oxymétry recording)at home.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with correct diagnosis of OSA with ApneaLink. Therefore, we will compare apnea-hypopnea index measured with ApneaLink with apnea-hypopnea index measured during polysomnography.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Apnea Syndrome, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Saint Pierre.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2015. 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 was stopped early (reason given: device was stolen). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Number of patients with correct diagnosis of OSA with ApneaLink. Therefore, we will compare apnea-hypopnea index measured with ApneaLink with apnea-hypopnea index measured during polysomnography. (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 10 Mar 2015.
