About this study

Official title: Long Term Prognosis of Taiwanese Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The purpose of this study is to explore long-term prognosis and to identify the predictors in Taiwanese OSA patients. Validation of the prediction model derived from NHIRD with the database of National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) sleep center is planed to determine the effects of different treatments on long-term prognosis.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder characterized by intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. OSA is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, metabolic dysregulation, and neurocognitive dysfunction, which may bring worse prognosis. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard treatment of OSA while the oral appliance and surgery are the alternative treatments. The differences of craniofacial features among races contributed to the race-specific presentations of OSA. Up to date, only limited studies investigated the long-term prognosis of OSA and most of them recruited Caucasians and African Americans. Moreover, most studies didn't address the impact of treatment other than CPAP on the long-term prognosis. .

National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) in Taiwan enrolled 99% of whole Taiwan's population and has longer period of 10 years for follow-up, which is suitable for investigation of long-term prognosis and predictors in OSA. However, due to limited parameters for diagnosis and treatment, the results could be biased in such secondary database research. Center of Sleep Disorder in National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) established from 2006 has 2,600 sleep studies annually. Therefore, database and cohort from sleep center could offer the validations of the prognosis and predictors determined from NHIRD. In addition, the impact of all three treatment modalities, namely CPAP, oral appliance, and surgery, on long-term prognosis could be studied in the prospective way.

Therefore, in this project, we aimed to achieve three goals (1) To explore long-term prognosis and identify the predictors in Taiwanese OSA patients with NHIRD, where the prediction mode of prognosis was established (2). To validate the prediction model derived from NHIRD with the database of NTUH sleep center (3) To determine the effects of different treatments on long-term prognosis with prospective following NTUH sleep center cohort.

What is being measured

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

  1. Death or Major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs)

    MACEs includes cardiogenic death, ischemic stroke, myocardial injury or acute coronary syndrome requiring revascularization.

    Data from NHIRD (database screening retrospectively) and NTUH cohort (recallable history taking).

    Measured: from 2000 to 2013, up to 13 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Cardiovascular morbidity

    Timing and events of new onset of hypertension, atrial fibrillation, or atrial flutter

    Measured: from 2000 to 2013, up to 13 years

  2. Neurocognitive morbidity, up to 13 years

    Timing and events of traffic accident, new onset of depression, or dementia, or epilepsy.

    Measured: from 2000 to 2013, up to 13 years

  3. Metabolic morbidity

    Timing and events of incident diabetics or diabetic complications or new onset of dyslipidemia.

    Measured: from 2000 to 2013, up to 13 years

  4. Other morbidity

    Incidence of malignancy or chronic kidney disease.

    Measured: from 2000 to 2013, up to 13 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ming-Tzer Lin, M.D. (+886-981-134-799, lightpool2010@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Death or Major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs) (time frame: from 2000 to 2013, up to 13 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 18 Mar 2014.
