Trial summary

We aimed to investigate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk and respiratory inflammation evaluated by the exhaled breath condensate (EBC)interleukin-6 IL-6 and plasma SP-D, based on the Berlin questionnaire (BQ) screening values in an adult, urban community in Beijing, China.

About this study

We aimed to investigate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk and respiratory inflammation evaluated by the exhaled breath condensate (EBC)interleukin-6 IL-6 and plasma SP-D, based on the Berlin questionnaire (BQ) screening values in an adult, urban community in Beijing, China.

Volunteers aged >40 years were recruited from the Shichahai community of central Beijing. Their general information and disease history were recorded. OSA risk was assessed using the BQ. IL-6 in EBC and plasma SP-D were detected by enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA)through specimens collected on fasting. The differences in IL-6 and SP-D contents between high-risk and low-risk groups for OSA were compared, and the factors affecting their contents were analyzed.

Subjects

The volunteers were recruited residents from the Shi Cha Hai community of Beijing, China. The inclusion criteria included individuals aged ≥40 years who had stayed in the community for at least 3 years and who had provided informed consent.

In contrast, the exclusion criteria were patients with known severe diseases who could not cooperate with the study, such as severe psychiatric diseases, chronic liver disease, heart failure, autoimmune disease, and chronic kidney disease; a history of pulmonary lobectomy or lung transplantation; and drug abuse or alcohol addiction.

Questionnaire survey and physical examination Community volunteers were surveyed for general information (name, sex, age, height, weight, etc.), history of previous common diseases, medication use, history of smoking, history of alcohol consumption, and occupation. All surveys were filled in the case report form of the study. A Chinese translation of the BQ was used to classify participants as high risk and low risk for OSA. COPD were diagnosed by a portable spirometer (Vitalograph copd-6). Other investigated diseases were self-reported by participants based on previous diagnosis. Physical examination included blood pressure, height, and weight measurements.

Sample collection and storage Venous blood and EBC were collected between 9 AM and 12 AM after fasting for >10 hours. The plasma collected in EDTA anticoagulated blood collection tubes was separated by centrifugation at 2,000 g for 15 min and stored at -80℃. The EBC collection was performed using an EBC collector (model number, EBC-5; patent number, ZL 2019 2 1297152.7, China).

The EBC collection was conducted as follows: After resting for 15 minutes and cleaning the oral cavity with water, participants were instructed to wear a nose clip and breathe calmly through a mouthpiece with a one-way valve, which was connected to an electrical condenser. Participants were asked to breathe through the device for 15 minutes to obtain between 0.5 and 1.5 ml of condensate. After being pre-processed with argon flow of 0.25 L/min for 10 minutes, the condensate was immediately fractional packed and transferred to special tubes and stored at -80℃. EBC equipment, collection procedures, and preservation complied with European Respiratory Society standards on breath analyses .

Measurement of biomarkers Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were used to measure the biomarkers in both EBC and plasma.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between risk for OSA and inflammation

    The levels of EBC IL-6 and plasma SP-D were detected by ELISA. The levels of EBC IL-6 and plasma SP-D between the high- and low-OSA risk groups were compared.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comorbidities, inflammation and risk of sleep apnea

    The prevalence of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and diabetes in the high-risk group for OSA than in the low-risk group were explored.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Inflammation, run by Peking University First Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 Oct 2024. 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?

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 risk for OSA and inflammation (time frame: through study completion, an average of 3 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 22 Oct 2024.
