About this study

Official title: Randomized Control Trial to Compare Patient Outcomes Following Unattended Polysomnography Versus In-lab Polysomnography for Sleep Apnea and Comorbid Sleep Disorders

This randomized controlled study will directly evaluate whether unattended polysomnography (level 2 sleep study) in individuals referred for sleep apnea or hypersomnia, including those with comorbidities of insomnia and sleep-related movement disorders, provides similar patient outcomes when compared to level 1 sleep studies.

Read the detailed description

Individuals referred to the Sleep Disorder Centre with a major complaint of snoring or, apneas or hypersomnia, with at least one additional minor concern of snoring, apneas, restless leg syndrome or insomnia, will be considered for entry into the study. Using a randomized controlled trial design, study participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group who will undergo a full unattended polysomnography (level 2 home sleep study) using the Prodigy portable wireless sleep monitor or in-lab polysomnography (level 1 sleep study). Other aspects of care including the clinical assessment will be equivalent between groups. A randomly assigned sleep specialist physician will make treatment recommendations to the patient based on the sleep study results and determine the need for a subsequent testing (including repeat sleep studies) as part of each patient encounter. Physicians participating in the study will receive an introduction to the Odds Ratio Product (ORP) and training on its diagnostic potential. Diagnostic confidence using a 5 point Likert scale from 10% (very unsure) to 90% (very confident) will be assessed after each sleep study review.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire

    Total Score scale ranges from 5-20, with higher scores representing better functioning

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Change in Epworth Sleepiness Scale

    Scale ranges from 0-24, with higher scores representing more sleepiness

    Measured: 4 months

  3. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Adherence

    Percent of nights with CPAP > 4 hours/night

    Measured: 4 months

  4. Change in Calgary Sleep Apnea Quality of Life Index

    Total score ranges from 1-7, with a greater score indicating a lower effect of OSA on quality of life

    Measured: 4 months

  5. Rating of Physician Diagnostic Confidence

    Likert scale rating performed by physicians to assess confidence in diagnosis from data provided by the two systems, scale from 1-5 with higher values reflecting greater confidence

    Measured: within 4 weeks of sleep study, after patient assessment by physician

  6. Rating of Patient Satisfaction

    Likert scale rating of patient satisfaction for their sleep study experience, ranges from 1-7 with higher values reflecting greater satisfaction

    Measured: Measured in morning following their sleep study

  7. Cost between Level 1 and Level 2 tests based on equipment, facility, supply costs, and technician and physician service fees

    Measured: After study conclusion, an average of up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Attended Polysomnography in the Lab and Unattended Polysomnography in the Home in people with Sleep Apnea and Hypersomnia, run by Cerebra Medical at 1 site in Canada.

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 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

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?

Change in Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 7 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.
