About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome in Subjects With Obesity Referred to Clinical (Medical Analysis) Laboratories for Regular Follow-up

Rationale of the "BIO-OHS" study (Prevalence of Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome):

The overall prevalence of Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) has never been directly assessed in the general population. Actually, this prevalence has been assessed in patients referred to sleep clinics with a potential diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing or in patients already diagnosed with sleep apnea. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of Obesity Hypoventilation syndrome in obese patients referred to clinical laboratories for regular follow-up medical analysis.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood test analysis in the clinical labsProcedure or surgery

    for specific measurement of plasmatic bicarbonate

  • Pneumologist consult to establish the diagnosis of OHSProcedure or surgery

    complete respiratory check-up: Arterial blood gases analysis, spirometry, anthropometry, polygraphy or polysomnography.

    Medical history, previous treatments.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) in obese subjects referred to clinical laboratories for regular blood test analysis.

    OHS prevalence, validated by arterial blood gases analysis, will be assessed by the percentage of patients with OHS among all patients included in the study

    Measured: From date of inclusion until the end of the study currently planned (up to 2 years)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Sensitivity and specificity of plasmatic [HCO3-] to detect OHS

    A ROC curve will determine if the threshold of 27 mmol/L has the best diagnostic value.

    Decision trees will show if the diagnostic value of plasmatic [HCO3-]could be optimized by a combination with other clinical parameters.

    Measured: From date of inclusion to the end of the study currently planned (2 years)

  2. Prevalence of metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidities in patients with OHS

    Prevalence will be estimated by the percentage and the confidence interval. Prevalences of metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidities among patients with OHS and without OHS will be compared by a KHI-2 test or Fisher Exact depends on the theorical number.

    Measured: From date of inclusion to the end of the study currently planned (2 years)

  3. To determine which medical specialties referred patients with OHS to clinical labs

    estimated by percentage

    Measured: From date of inclusion to the end of the study currently planned (2 years)

  4. Incidence of serious health events at 1 and 2-year follow-up

    Cardiovascular, metabolic and respiratory events (measured by percentages in OHS group and non-OHS group) will be compared by logistic regressions.

    Measured: From time of OHS diagnostic to 1 and 2-year follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood test analysis in the clinical labs and Pneumologist consult to establish the diagnosis of OHS in people with Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome, run by AGIR à Dom at 5 sites 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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?

Prevalence of Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) in obese subjects referred to clinical laboratories for regular blood test analysis. (time frame: From date of inclusion until the end of the study currently planned (up to 2 years)). 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 1 Feb 2017.
