About this study

This study explore AAA prevalence in OSAHS patients by ultrasound screening and try to analysis risk factors of AAA in OSAHS patients.

Read the detailed description

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an extremely high mortality disease, and ultrasound has been recommended for the screening of AAA, which is highly sensitive and specific. Studies have shown that screening for AAA in the population can significantly reduce deaths from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, those study mainly focus on cardiovascular disease patients or general population, no previous study target on obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) population. Retrospective studies show that the incidence of apnea syndrome in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm is higher than that in the control group, which suggests that OSAHS may be one of the causes of abdominal aortic aneurysm. At present, there is no relevant research on the screening of AAA in OSAHS population.

The main objective of this study was to screen the prevalence of AAA in OSAHS population by a cross-sectional study.

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 4 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 23 Feb 2018. 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 China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

Diameter of aorta (time frame: 0-48 hours). 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 23 Feb 2018.
