Trial summary

The aim of this study was to compare an overnight digital monitoring device (ODM) with home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) using respiratory flow and effort parameters in a large population sample, who were in a waiting list for Polysomnography (PSG). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Validation of a High-resolution Oximeter Using a Cloud-based Algorithm to Diagnose Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The aim of this study was to compare an overnight digital monitoring device (ODM) with home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) using respiratory flow and effort parameters in a large population sample, who were in a waiting list for Polysomnography (PSG).

Read the detailed description

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is extremely common has prompted the popularization of home sleep test (HST). HST record a limited number of respiratory signals, provide a more comfortable testing option to the patient at a lower cost. HST has a performance as good as PSG among patients with suspected OSA and no significant co-morbidities.

Our study was designed to investigate the performance of a simple solution that consists of a high-resolution wireless oximeter with a built-in accelerometer linked to a smartphone application and automated cloud algorithm for detection of oxygen desaturation, described herein as Overnight Digital Monitoring (ODM) (BilogixTM). We will compare the results of ODM with HST performed by ApneaLink Air by Resmed®.

We have already compared ODM to PSG with excellent results in a prior study and intend to see the results in uncontrolled environment (home) .

Population: Men and women from the São Paulo Department of Health, who are awaiting examination for diagnosis of OSAS.We intend to compare the ODM with the HST. Patients with indication for CPAP titration will be excluded. The participants will wear a wireless oximeter (Oxistar, Biologix Sistemas Ltda., Brazil) with a built-in accelerometer on a finger of the same hand as the HST oximeter and we will compare both methods for diagnosing OSA.

All HST studies will be scored by 2 independent certified technicians blinded to the ODM results. Hypopnea will be defined as a peak signal excursion drop by ≥ 30% of pre-event baseline nasal pressure signal lasting ≥ 10 sec. Hypopneas will be scored according the acceptable AASM criteria for hypopnea (≥ 4% reduction in SpO2). Mild, moderate and severe OSA will be defined according to the current standards (5 ≤ AHI <15; 15 ≤ AHI <30 and AHI ≥30 events/h, respectively).ODI results from ODM will be expressed as the number of desaturations per recording time and will be automatically analyzed at the cloud. In order to compare with TST-AHI4%, ODM will be matched using 4% desaturation criteria (ODM-ODI4%, respectively).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • OximetryDiagnostic test

    Validation of a high-resolution wireless oximeter for OSA diagnosis comparing with a well established and validated method (home sleep test).

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of high-resolution oximetry for OSA

    Accuracy will be tested against home sleep test using ROC, sensitivity and specificity

    Measured: single night

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Apnea, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2020. 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic accuracy of high-resolution oximetry for OSA (time frame: single night). 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 28 Apr 2020.
