Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to utilize non-invasive, easily measurable biomarkers (heart rate, skin temperature, sleep, and activity) in the post surgical discharge period to identify trends which correlate with improved outcome and early recovery (return to baseline activity).

About this study

Official title: Post Discharge Circadian Dysrhythmias, Sleep Disturbances, and Return to Baseline Activity in Children With Pre-existing Obstructive Sleep Apnea After AT (Adenotonsillectomy).

The purpose of this study is to utilize non-invasive, easily measurable biomarkers (heart rate, skin temperature, sleep, and activity) in the post surgical discharge period to identify trends which correlate with improved outcome and early recovery (return to baseline activity). These are measured (captured) utilizing a wearable technology (WT) device.

Return to baseline (RTB) activity for the purpose of this study is defined primarily as step count normalization as a surrogate of activity (pre versus post operative step count), and heart rate variability normalization back to preoperative baseline. Increased heart rate variability has been studied in acute care settings as a marker of poor prognosis. Please note that return to baseline is not defined for the pediatric population in the same way as adults (which is primarily questionnaire based and not applicable in children).

Read the detailed description

Wearable technology has tremendous advantages over current methods of assessing RTB activity in the post-discharge pediatric population after AT, which rely on quality of life (QOL) scales, caregiver and patient reports, as well as nurse phone calls and office visits. These methods are biased, time and labor intensive, disease focused, and caregiver dependent. The investigators propose to use wearable technology in order to assess RTB activity. The device has validated methodology in sleep metrics (as compared to polysomnography), heart rate and activity monitoring (optical sensor and 3 plane accelerometry), and temperature measuring (galvanic skin resistance). So far, no investigators have utilized wearable technology and biomarker (heart rate, skin temperature, activity, sleep) data in the manner proposed. RTB is a difficult to measure entity in children and the investigators have defined it using step count as a marker of activity. There are no studies or "standard" to measure quality of recovery in children.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in circadian rhythm

    HR (heart rate) in OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) group v. non OSA group post AT

    Measured: 3 week

  2. Change in circadian rhythm

    Sleep in OSA group v. non OSA group post AT. Specifically the design will capture sleep metrics (REM v. non REM, arousals, movement) in order to assess sleep quality.

    Measured: 3 weeks

  3. Change in activity

    Activity change in OSA group v. non OSA group post AT. Due to the device being able to measure activity (specifically measured as step count as indicated in the introduction), these can be compared between groups.

    Measured: 3 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Circadian Dysrhythmia, run by Baylor College of Medicine at 1 site in United States.

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Mar 2022. 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 United States. 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change in circadian rhythm (time frame: 3 week). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Mar 2022.
