Trial summary

The diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in children (OSAS) requires a polysomnography (PSG) in a sleep lab with video surveillance and monitoring by a nurse. But PSG is a cumbersome exam, sometimes difficult to perform in children. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Video-respiratory Polygraphy for the Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Children

The diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in children (OSAS) requires a polysomnography (PSG) in a sleep lab with video surveillance and monitoring by a nurse. But PSG is a cumbersome exam, sometimes difficult to perform in children. Simplified exams as respiratory polygraphy (RP) which uses only respiratory signals can be used for the diagnosis of OSAS but studies show that it underestimates the obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) because the total sleep time cannot be accurately estimated. The use of a video camera with software synchronous with the RP software could compensate for this disadvantage, by estimating when the child is sleeping or not.

Read the detailed description

The diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in children (OSAS) requires the performance of a polysomnography (PSG) in a sleep lab with video surveillance and monitoring by a nurse to put the sensors back on the child if necessary. PSG gives the obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) necessary for the diagnosis of OSA and to determine its severity. But PSG is a cumbersome exam, sometimes difficult to carry out in children, with several sensors and electrodes to install (electroencephalogram (EEG), myogram (EMG), occulogram (EOG), necessary to determine awakening and sleep periods and intra-sleep micro-arousals, nasal cannula, thoraco-abdominal straps, pulse oximetry, actimetry to score respiratory events). PSG is time-consuming for installation and analysis. Simplified methods of recording and analysis are preferable in children but require validation in this population.

Respiratory polygraphy (RP) which uses only respiratory signals (without EEG, EMG and EOG) can be used for the diagnosis of OSA but studies showed that it underestimated the OAHI because the total sleep time cannot be accurately estimated. The use of a video camera with software synchronous with the RP software could compensate for this disadvantage, by estimating when the child is sleeping or not.

The hypothesis of this study is that video-RP can identify OSAS in children.

What participants receive

  • Polysomnography in routine careDiagnostic test

    Children performed a polysomnography in routine clinical care

What is being measured

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

  1. OAHI in video-RP significantly correlated with OAHI in PSG

    Value of the OAHI obtained by the video-RP for each of the children in the groups with OSAS (who have an OAHI ≥ 1/h in PSG) and without OSAS (who have an OAHI < 1/h in PSG) will be correlated with the value of OAHI obtained by PSG using a Fisher exact test

    Measured: One night

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Diagnostic ability of video-RP to identify OSAS in children

    ROC curves to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the OAHI obtained by video-RP to identify children with OSA

    Measured: One night

  2. Diagnostic ability of video-RP to identify moderate-severe OSAS in children

    ROC curves to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the OAHI obtained by video-RP to identify children with moderate-severe OSA (with an OAHI ≥ 5 /h in PSG)

    Measured: One night

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, 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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Iulia IOAN, MD PhD (+33383154794, ic.ioan@chru-nancy.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

OAHI in video-RP significantly correlated with OAHI in PSG (time frame: One night). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06287333, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Mar 2024.
