Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of polysomnography indexes for diagnosis of sleep apnea in human subjects obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This includes evaluation of polysomnography indexes (AHI; AI, arousal index; ODI, oxygen desaturation index) and heart rate variability (HRV) indexes. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of polysomnography indexes for diagnosis of sleep apnea in human subjects obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This includes evaluation of polysomnography indexes (AHI; AI, arousal index; ODI, oxygen desaturation index) and heart rate variability (HRV) indexes.

Read the detailed description

This is a cross-sectional study collecting data from patients from the Sleep Institute of Itaperuna, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Polysomnography (PSG) monitoring and diagnosis was in accordance with American Society of Sleep Medicine (ASSM) standards. Standard baseline polysomnography is performed using a computerised system. The following extracted signals are measured: 2 electroencephalogram channels (O1-A2, O2-A1, C3-A2, C4-A1), 2 electrooculogram channels, electromyography (EMG, bilateral anterior tibialis), pulse oximetry (arterial oxygen saturation), nasal-oral airflow (thermistors), and electrocardiogram (ECG derivation DII). The polysomnograms are scored according to the criteria of Rechtschaffen and Kales.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Ovidiu Constantin Baltatu at 1 site in Brazil.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2014. 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 Brazil. 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?

Polysomnography indexes (time frame: one night). 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 24 Jan 2014.
