About this study

The research question is "Are the different types of house in Ho Chi Minh city equally contributing to chronic respiratory diseases?".

According to this question, a cross-sectional and explorative study was set up to explore the differences in the environmental characteristics and prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases among common housing types in Ho Chi Minh city. Preliminary work was performed in 100 houses (20 houses per type, included tube houses, rental houses, rural houses, slum and apartment) from November 2013 to June 2015. It included measures by environmental devices, questionnaires and indoor activities diaries.

This study will aim to collect information about the prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) inside those house types to understand more about role of house types in developing CRDs.

The objective is:

  1. to evaluate the relationships between the type of house and lung function of inhabitants in each housing type.
  2. to evaluate the effects of environmental risk factors in each house type on prevalence of CRDs

What is being measured

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

  1. FEV1/FVC

    Basic lung function test, without broncho dilatation (micro-spirometer). All lung function related outcomes are performed during the same test.FVC: Forced vital capacity.

    Measured: 5 minutes

  3. VC

    Basic lung function test, without broncho dilatation (micro-spirometer). All lung function related outcomes performed during the same test. VC: Vital capacity

    Measured: 5 minutes

  4. FEF 25-75%

    Basic lung function test, without broncho dilatation (micro-spirometer).All lung function related outcomes are performed during the same test. FEF: Forced expiratory flow

    Measured: 5 minutes

  5. Socio-demographic status

    Socio-demographic data, assessed by a home made questionnaire

    Measured: around 10 minutes

  6. Health status

    Health status (symptomatology) data, assessed by a home made questionnaire

    Measured: around 10 minutes

  7. Indoor air exposure time

    Indoor air exposure (time spent indoor within housing types, with associated air characteristics) data, assessed by a home made questionnaire

    Measured: around 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Questionnaire and Lung function test in people with Chronic Respiratory Diseases, run by Brugmann University Hospital at 1 site in Vietnam.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Aug 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 Vietnam. 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?

FEV1/FVC (time frame: 5 minutes). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02898129, which also lists 35 linked publications.

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 4 Aug 2017.
