To relate two different predictive values of sleep apnea: the STOP score (snoring while sleeping, daytime tiredness, observed breathing stoppages, and high blood pressure) and the estimated respiratory disturbance index (eRDI) with the occurrence of apnea-hypopnea during propofol sedation,thirty four middle-aged male… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 to 70 years
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: We expected a correlation coefficient of ~0.5 in this study, which meant that for a level of significance of 5% and a power of 80%, we required 29 analyzable subjects. Based on a predicted exclusion rate of 15%, 34 patients were included.

Who may be able to join

  • Thirty four males who underwent spinal anaesthesia for transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) or prostate (TURP) were enrolled in this studyInclusion criteria were American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) physical status of 1-2, and ages of more than 40 years.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with electrocardiographic or simple chest radiographic abnormalities or who had taken medication that could affect their sleep patterns were excluded.

About this study

Official title: Clinical Predictors of Apnea-hypopnea During Propofol Sedation in Patients Undergoing Spinal Anaesthesia

To relate two different predictive values of sleep apnea: the STOP score (snoring while sleeping, daytime tiredness, observed breathing stoppages, and high blood pressure) and the estimated respiratory disturbance index (eRDI) with the occurrence of apnea-hypopnea during propofol sedation,thirty four middle-aged male patients who underwent urologic surgery under spinal anaesthesia will be enrolled. Before surgery, patients will be asked to complete a STOP-questionnaire. The eRDI will be calculated using the modified Mallampati's grade, tonsil grade, and the body mass index. After performing spinal anaesthesia, propofol will be infused and adjusted to BIS 70-75. An ApneaLinkTM, which measures airflow through a nasal cannula, will be then applied to estimate the level of apnea-hypopnea.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will evaluate correlation between STOP scor and AHI(apnea hypopnea index) or eRDI and AHI. After then the investigators will compare AHI severity between high risk group and low risk group subgrouped according to STOP score or eRDI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Apnea hypopnea index

    After surgery, an ApneaLinkTM was connected to a personal computer to record and auto-analyze AHIs. Aopnea was defined as a cessation of airflow for 10s or longer. Hypopnea was defined as a greater than 50% reduction in airflow for 10s or longer. AHI was defined as the number of aopnea and hypopnea incidents per hour.

    Measured: 1hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Apnea, run by Samsung Medical Center.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 6 Jun 2013. 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: Finished). 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?

Apnea hypopnea index (time frame: 1hour). 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 6 Jun 2013.
