About this study

Official title: Correlation Between Serum Uric Acid and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Based on Echo Probability in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

This study aimed to correlate serum uric acid levels and PAH in OSAHS patients.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome is the most common form of SRBDs. Recurrent hypoxia, that accompanies OSAHS increases the degradation of ATP, which in turn increase uric acid concentration that can be used as a biomarker of tissue hypoxia in OSAHS. There is still debate about whether OSAHS is an independent contributor to pulmonary arterial hypertension.

AIM OF THE WORK This study aimed to correlate serum uric acid levels and PAH in OSAHS patients. Methods We enrolled 100 patients diagnosed with OSAHS using polysomnography. Patients were divided into three severity groups: mild OSA (5 ≤ AHI < 15), moderate OSA (15 ≤ AHI < 30), and severe (30 ≤ AHI < 60). Serum uric acid was measured the morning after polysomnography. All patients underwent standard echocardiograms, and Pulmonary artery systolic pressure calculation was done.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing polysomnography in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Alexandria 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 1 Aug 2023. 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?

This study aimed to correlate serum uric acid levels and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome patients. (time frame: one 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 1 Aug 2023.
