About this study

To collect fundamental data regarding the distribution of measures of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in a pediatric population, prevalence of clinically significant SDB in children, risk factors, and associated co-morbidity.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

Developing strategies for recognizing and treating children with Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) was not possible in the absence of essential epidemiological data that addressed the distribution of measures of SDB in pediatric populations. The potential public health importance of this was underscored by preliminary data that suggested that risk of SDB was increased in susceptible populations, in particular in African Americans and in children born prematurely.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

The design was that of a cohort study with a nested case control arm. Sleep disordered breathing was evaluated in 850 children with in-home state-of-the art respiratory monitoring techniques. A number of risk factors were evaluated: sociodemographic characteristics; anthropometry; upper and lower airway size and function (questionnaire, spirometry, and reflectometry); perinatal exposures (from neonatal records); family history; and home environment (passive smoking; sleep patterns, maternal-child stress indices). Behavior, cognitive skills, attention, and health-related quality of life were assessed with standardized instruments to assess co-morbidities (potential SDB outcomes). Analysis of the longitudinal data provided cognitive-developmental trajectories that were evaluated in relationship to SDB. The case-control arm confirmed and extended the findings of the in-home assessments with comprehensive laboratory polysomnography, cephalometry, and objective measures of sleepiness (Multiple Sleep Latency Tests) in three groups of children: definite SDB by home assessment; equivocal SDB; and no SDB. Collection of comprehensive polysomnographic data helped to identify which measures best discriminated symptomatic (e.g., snoring, sleepy) from asymptomatic children.

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 Sleep Apnea Syndromes, 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 18 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 NCT00005516, which also lists 5 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 18 Feb 2016.
