Trial summary

The European database ESADA, containing data from more than 30,000 patients with very different severities of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome, prospectively collects data from patients referred to academic sleep laboratories in many European countries (https://esada.med.gu.se/).

About this study

Official title: Collection of Medical Events Occurring During Long-term Follow-up in Patients Included in the European Sleep Apnea Data Base (ESADA)

The European database ESADA, containing data from more than 30,000 patients with very different severities of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome, prospectively collects data from patients referred to academic sleep laboratories in many European countries (https://esada.med.gu.se/). Since 2007, Grenoble is one of the two French centers with Paris and is a very active participant in this European database for patient inclusion and data exploitation.

The first objective of the "ESADA Follow-up and outcomes" project is to collect cardiovascular events during the follow-up of patients in the European database through telephone interviews and a structured questionnaire. Other objectives are to collect metabolic events, incident cancers and deaths in the same population using the same mean.

An additional objective is to assess the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP, the reference treatment for OSA) on the occurrence of cardiovascular and metabolic events and incident cancers, as this is still discussed in the literature.

Read the detailed description

The European database ESADA prospectively collects data from patients referred to academic sleep laboratories in many European countries (https://esada.med.gu.se/). Since 2007, Grenoble is one of the two French centers with Paris and is a very active participant in this European database for patient inclusion and data exploitation. A partnership agreement exists between University Hospital Grenoble (CHUGA) and ESADA for the reuse of CHUGA data. The data collected at CHUGA as part of the ESADA-Follow-up and outcomes questionnaire are also collected in the other European centers and will be centralized at the level of the coordinating center.

ESADA currently contains data from more than 30,000 patients with very different severities of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome. One of the main limitations of this cohort is the relatively limited amount of information concerning the long-term follow-up of the patients included in the registry.

The first objective of the "ESADA Follow-up and outcomes" project is to collect cardiovascular events during the follow-up of patients in the European database through telephone interviews and a structured questionnaire. Other objectives are to collect metabolic events, incident cancers and deaths in the same population using the same mean.

An additional objective at the end of this data collection is to aggregate the follow-up data of more than 10,000 patients from all participating European centers to assess the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP, the reference treatment for OSA) on the occurrence of cardiovascular and metabolic events and incident cancers, as this is still discussed in the literature.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of cardiovascular events

    Prevalence of cardiovascular events during the follow-up of patients included in the ESADA European database, through a structured questionnaire.

    Measured: up to 15 years

  2. Prevalence of metabolic events

    Prevalence of metabolic events during the follow-up of patients included in the ESADA European database, through a structured questionnaire.

    Measured: up to 15 years

  3. Prevalence of incident cancers

    Prevalence of incident cancers during the follow-up of patients included in the ESADA European database, through a structured questionnaire.

    Measured: up to 15 years

  4. Prevalence of deaths

    Prevalence of deaths during the follow-up of patients included in the ESADA European database, through a structured questionnaire.

    Measured: up to 15 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Effect of CPAP treatment on the cardiovascular events occurrence

    Mean CPAP observance (h/night) of patients included in the ESADA European database to determine its impact on the cardiovascular events occurrence.

    Measured: during 6 months

  2. Effect of CPAP treatment on the metabolic events occurrence

    Mean CPAP observance (h/night) of patients included in the ESADA European database to determine its impact on the metabolic events occurrence.

    Measured: during 6 months

  3. Effect of CPAP treatment on the incident cancers occurrence

    Mean CPAP observance (h/night) of patients included in the ESADA European database to determine its impact on the incident cancers occurrence.

    Measured: during 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Apnea, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 22 Dec 2025. 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 France. 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?

Prevalence of cardiovascular events (time frame: up to 15 years). The study lists 4 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 22 Dec 2025.
