About this study

Nocturnal reduction in blood oxygen is expected independently associated with the development of worsened glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The aim of the present study is to assess the correlation between nocturnal oxygen desaturation assessed by overnight pulse oximetry and glycemic control in diabetic patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Read the detailed description

Introduction:

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a prevalent illness showing a heterogeneous symptom presentation, which ranges from low clinical suspicion to evident limitations in the quality of life. The main reasons for this variability relate to its potential association with major concomitant diseases, which include diabetes and a variety of cardiovascular pathologies. (1).

Also, OSA is a known risk factor for many comorbid disorders, causing resistance to conventional treatments and increasing the risk of mortality, which multiplies health care expenditures and even though the distribution of comorbidities differs between men and women, their effect progressively increases with OSA severity (2,3) Occurrence of apneic events and Reduction in blood oxygen and elevations in blood carbon dioxide are sensed by chemoreceptors in the brain and carotid bodies, which trigger brief microarousals and result in sleep fragmentation (4).

Nocturnal reduction in blood oxygen has also been independently associated with the development of worsened glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes (4).

Aim of the work:

to assess the correlation between nocturnal oxygen desaturation assessed by overnight pulse oximetry and glycemic control in diabetic patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Material and Methods:

This study will be conducted on all patients referred for evaluation of sleep related breathing disorders. All Medical files were reviewed. Data collected included .full medical history, demographics, measurements of weight and height, body mass index in kg/m2, neck circumference (NC), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores, measurements of overnight pulse oximetryglyceminc control (measurement of glycated HB, fasting and 2h postprandial blood sugar)The diagnosis that was concluded after a polysomnography study.

Being tested
overnight pulse oximetry

What participants receive

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

  • overnight pulse oximetryDiagnostic test

    Also called polysomnography

    Wrist worn Overnight oximetry was performed using portable Nonin 2500 (Nonin Medical Inc., USA) pulse oximeters. The test was explained to the subjects and their caregiver by experienced health-care staff from the sleep unit. The recording was done at home and started just before going to bed and ended on awakening; the recommended duration was a minimum of 5 h and a maximum of 7 h. The awake SpO2, mean SpO2. The data were analysed to calculate the overnight minimum SpO2, mean SpO2, dip frequency (defined as a fall in SpO2 of > 4%), the percentage of oximetry sleep time spent with a SpO2 of < 90%, and the total oximetry time. Recordings were classified as "normal" (< 4.9 desaturation events an hour), "equivocal" (5 to 14.9 desaturation events an hour), or "abnormal" (> 15 desaturation events an hour) according to the severity and pattern of nocturnal desaturation observed .

What is being measured

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

  1. correlation between nocturnal oxygen desaturation and glycemic control

    measurements of blood glucose control and nocturnal oxygen level.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Feb 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 Egypt. 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?

correlation between nocturnal oxygen desaturation and glycemic control (time frame: 1 year). 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 16 Feb 2022.
