About this study

To determine the prevalence and longitudinal course of sleep apnea among men and women and to examine the associations of apnea, oxygen desaturation, snoring, high blood pressure, and other biomedical correlates.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

Sleep apnea is characterized by repetitive cessations of respiration during sleep with consequent decreases in arterial oxygen saturation. Sleep apnea can be caused by upper airway obstruction or by central nervous system failure to sufficiently excite the diaphragm and accessory respiratory muscles. However, in most cases, both processes are involved. Hypopneas, in which airflow is significantly compromised without complete cessations of respiratory flow, and snoring are often found in association with apneas. Both apneas and hypopneas cause repetitive disruptions of sleep, consequent daytime somnolence, and complex cardio-respiratory disturbances.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

The study was longitudinal in design. A stratified random sample of adults in San Diego was used to examine risk factors in the prevalence of sleep respiratory disturbances. A structured random sample was selected by random digit telephone dialing. Subjects were studied in their homes. Some were followed yearly during the project. Each volunteer gave a brief sleep history and medical review, including blood pressure measurement, the National Interview Survey, And Quality of Well-being Scale. Blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, snoring, and sleep duration were recorded for three nights. State-of-the-art computerized pulse oximeters and microprocessor-based activity/light monitors were used. Subjects found to have the most severe sleep respiratory disturbances underwent laboratory polysomnograms to add descriptive data and to validate the survey methodology. The prevalence of respiratory disturbances in sleep was analyzed as a function of age and sex. Associations with several aspects of morbidity were determined. The longitudinal course of respiratory disturbances in sleep were examined.

The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "End Date" entered in the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) record.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Diseases and Heart Diseases, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 29 Feb 2016. 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?

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005297, which also lists 8 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 29 Feb 2016.
