About this study

Official title: Validation of Breathing Event Detection of the REMstar Auto With Aflex Compared to Clinical Polysomnography

The study is to compare the performance of a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device to a clinical polysomnography (PSG) in identifying breathing events in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Read the detailed description

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the AED algorithm used in a PAP device with manually scored events on PSG. The PAP device was modified to produce a square wave voltage output identifying when apneas, hypopneas, and snoring events were detected. Recording this event signal on the PSG performed with the patient using the PAP device allowed an event-by-event comparison between manually scored PSG events and AED events. In addition, the AHI, AI, and HI derived from the manually scored PSG were compared with the respective measures reported by the PAP device used during the PSG.

Study Objectives: Compare automatic event detection (AED) of respiratory events using a positive airway pressure (PAP) device with manual scoring of polysomnography (PSG) during PAP treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Design: Prospective PSGs of patients using a PAP device.

Setting: Six academic and private sleep disorders centers.

Interventions: A signal generated by the PAP device identifying the AED of respiratory events based on airflow was recorded during PSG.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Analysis with AED and manual PSG scoringDevice

    The CPAP device will be set-up at a sub-therapeutic pressure and will remain at this pressure for the entire night, if tolerated. Then the events will be analyzed with Automatic Event Detection (AED) and manual PSG scoring.

What is being measured

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

  1. Apnea-hypopnea Indices (AHI) as Determined by Polysomnography (PSG) vs Automatic Event Detection (AED ) Algorithm

    Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) is the combined average number of apneas and hypopneas that occur per hour of sleep. The Apnea index (AI) is the average number of apneas that occur per hour of sleep. The Hypopnea index (HI) is the average number of hypopneas that occur per hour of sleep.

    The PSGs were manually scored to determine the apnea-hypopnea index. This value was then compared to the PAP device which utilized the AED algorithm to determine the apnea-hypopnea index.

    Measured: one night

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Methodological Comparisons of AHI, Apnea Index (AI) and Hypopnea Index (HI) as Determined by Intra-class Correlation (ICC)

    Methodological comparisons utilizing ICC for detection of AHI, apnea index (AI) and hypopnea index (HI) were caculated between the values obtained by PSG and the REMstar Auto with A-Flex device.

    Measured: one night

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Analysis with AED and manual PSG scoring in people with Sleep Apnea, run by Philips Respironics at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 16 Jan 2019. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jan 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Apnea-hypopnea Indices (AHI) as Determined by Polysomnography (PSG) vs Automatic Event Detection (AED ) Algorithm (time frame: one night). 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 16 Jan 2019.
