About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Cost-Effectiveness of a Super Simplified System for the Management of Patients With Sleep Apneas in Primary Healthcare.

Primary objectives: To determine the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a management program for patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) carried out in primary or specialist healthcare. In the primary arm, the diagnosis and therapeutic decision will be made by means of a domiciliary nasal pressure (DNP) channel and oximetry while the specialist healthcare arm will use polysomnography (PSG) in a hospital. Patients with an intermediate-high suspicion of OSAS will be included, taking as primary variables the Epworth scale, for efficacy, and the Epworth scale and EuroQol 5D, for cost-effectiveness.

Secondary objectives: efficacy of the two SAHS management programs according to the following secondary variables: a) quality-of-life tests: FOSQ questionnaire, SF36 and analogical wellbeing scale, b) adherence to and compliance with the treatment.

Read the detailed description

Design: prospective, randomized, controlled, open, parallel, non-inferiority. A total of 280 patients will be randomized for management on the basis of DNP (primary) or PSG (specialist), thereby giving rise to 4 groups: two treated and two not treated with CPAP. The former will undergo a home auto-titration. The follow-up will last 6 months and include 4 evaluations.

Being tested
Diagnosis, autoCPAP, follow up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of the extra- and intra-hospital programs using DNP or PSG, taking as primary variable the Epworth scale.

    Measured: Before and after 6 months of follow-up

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cost-effectiveness of the exta- and intra-hospital management programs using DNP or PSG, evaluated by means of the Epworth scale and EuroQol 5D.

    Measured: Before and after 6 months of follow-up

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?

Efficacy of the extra- and intra-hospital programs using DNP or PSG, taking as primary variable the Epworth scale. (time frame: Before and after 6 months of follow-up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02141165, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
