About this study

Official title: Detection of Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSA) With Watch PAT 200 in Pregnant Women and Assessment of Impact of OSA on Intra-uterine Fetal Growth and Maternal Well-being

To assess prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea during pregnancy and its impact on prgnancy course and materno foetal wellbeing.

Read the detailed description

During pregnancy, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) prevalence is estimated between 5% and 15% and is associated with maternal and fetal comorbidities such as preeclampsia, neonatal intensive care admission , fetal growth retardation , preterm birth but even if growing, literature is still relatively poor about this topic.

To date, there is no systematic screening of OSA performed in at-risk pregnant women (obesity, hypertension, diabetes, fetal growth retardation, suggestive symptoms), probably mainly because of polysomnography complexity and accessibility.

As in non pregnant woman, OSA must be treated adequately during pregnancy. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the reference treatment for severe OSA. This device, by blowing air under pressure in upper airways, via a nasal of an oro-nasal mask, is able to alleviate the upper airway collapse responsible for the occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea. It has been proven to offer a survival benefit in patients with severe disease and to improve sleep quality, cardiovascular variables and health-related quality of life . CPAP have been shown to improve fetal well-being in pre-eclampsia .

Oral appliance can be an alternative for mild to moderate disease and in patients who do not tolerate CPAP. Positional counselling can be sufficient in case of mild to moderate positional OSA. Associated behavioural strategies (diet and exercise) are always recommended in case of excessive weight. Surgical treatments are dedicated to patients with specific anatomic problems but cannot be performed during pregancy.

Aim of the study:

The primary aim of this study is to screen OSA in at risk pregnant women with Watch-PAT 200, a simplified sleep study tool used on ambulatory mode and able to detect accurately OSA in suspected patients. As secondary aim, we will observe the impact of OSA on a composite endpoint assessing materno-fetal wellbeing.

What is being measured

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

  1. prevalence of sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) in obese pregnant women

    Positive OSA on Watch Pat 200 must be confirmed by polysomnography

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. composite score assessing pregnancy course and materno-foetal complications

    assessment of one composite score componed by on several parameters including Apgar Score,fœtal anoxia, intra-uterine growth retardation, low birth weight, prematurity, placental abruption,preeclamspia, foetal death In Utero

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pregnancy and Sleep Apnea Syndrome, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Saint Pierre at 1 site in Belgium.

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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2016. 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 Belgium. 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 stopped early (reason given: one investigator left the study site). Results are not available in the source record.

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 sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) in obese pregnant women (time frame: 1 month). 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 13 May 2016.
