About this study

Patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) on non-Intensive Care Unit medical services and/or visiting our outpatient Congestive Heart Failure Clinic will be screened using the STOP-BANG Scoring Model. (STOP-BANG stands for Snoring, Tiredness, Observed Apnea, Blood Pressure, Body Mass Index, Age, Neck Circumference, Gender.) Patients with high risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) will be referred for evaluation and treatment of Sleep Apnea. They will be followed to determine if treatment of Sleep Apnea improves their quality of life and decreases their utilization of the Hospital and Emergency Department (ED).

Read the detailed description

Patients with Congestive Heart Failure on non-Intensive Care Unit Medical Services and/or visiting our outpatient Congestive Heart Failure clinic will be screened using the STOP-BANG Scoring Model. Patients with high risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea will be referred to the Sleep Center physicians for evaluation and treatment. Patients will be followed for one year to determine if the treatment for Sleep Apnea improves their Quality of Life and decreases Hospital and Emergency Department utilization.

What participants receive

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

  • STOP-BANG Scoring ModelOther

    Patients with Congestive Heart Failure on non-Intensive Care Unit Medical Services and/or visiting our outpatient Congestive Heart Failure Clinic will be administered the STOP-BANG Scoring Model to determine whether they are considered high-risk or low-risk for Sleep Apnea.

  • Polysomnogram Sleep StudyOther

    Patients determined by the STOP-BANG Scoring Model to be high-risk for Sleep Apnea will be referred to the Sleep Center physicians for evaluation and treatment. If medically indicated, a Polysomnogram Sleep Study will be performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Hospital Admissions

    Measured: Compare the number of Hospital Admissions during the 12-month period immediately prior to the index admission to the number of Hospital Admissions during the 12-month period immediately following the study intervention

  2. Number of Hospitalized Days

    Measured: Compare the number of Hospitalized Days during the 12-month period immediately prior to the index admission to the number of Hospitalized Days during the 12-month period immediately following the study intervention

  3. Number of Emergency Department Visits

    Measured: Compare the number of Emergency Department Visits during the 12-month period immediately prior to the index admission to the number of Emergency Department Visits during the 12-month period immediately following the study intervention

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Epworth Sleepiness Scale

    Chance of Dozing Off - Scale: Never, Slight, Moderate, High

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 6 weeks

  2. Epworth Sleepiness Scale

    Chance of Dozing Off - Scale: Never, Slight, Moderate, High

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 12 months

  3. Functional Outcome of Sleep Quality

    Level of Difficulty Performing Everyday Activities - Scale: Don't do this activity, No difficulty, A little difficulty, Moderate difficulty, Extreme difficulty

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 3 months

  4. Functional Outcome of Sleep Quality

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 12 months

  5. Residual Apnea Hypopnea Index

    This is a data download from the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine, indicating the effectiveness of the patient's breathing while wearing the machine.

    Measured: at 6 weeks

  6. Epworth Sleepiness Scale

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing STOP-BANG Scoring Model and Polysomnogram Sleep Study in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Sleep Apnea, run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.

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 13 inclusion and 11 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2017. 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 United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 Hospital Admissions (time frame: Compare the number of Hospital Admissions during the 12-month period immediately prior to the index admission to the number of Hospital Admissions during the 12-month period immediately following the study intervention). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 May 2017.
