Trial summary

There is some evidence suggesting that OSA is associated with low level of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Low level systemic inflammation and subsequent vascular damage has been implicated as the underlying mechanism responsible for comorbidities. Read more about this study

  • Ages 18 to 65 years

  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients suffering from sleep apnea and were referred to perform polysomnoraphy constituted the study groups. There were grouped into 4 according to apnea- hypopnea scores: control, mild apnea, moderate apnea and severe apnea.

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects who were referred for polysomnography (PSG) testing and performed the test were included Exclusion Criteria: Patients with malignancy, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease or hypertension, chronic inflammatory processes, thyroid dysfunction, chronic hepatic disease, renal failure, any acute- subacute infectious disease within past 2 months, if data are incomplete such as blood sample testing results, if they were unable to perform complete PSG testing.

About this study

There is some evidence suggesting that OSA is associated with low level of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Low level systemic inflammation and subsequent vascular damage has been implicated as the underlying mechanism responsible for comorbidities. Detection of altered inflammatory markers in OSAS patients may predict the degree of nocturnal sleep disturbance and associated systemic inflammation and presence of comorbidities. Recently, novel inflammatory biomarkers, such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) have been proposed as an indicator of systemic inflammation. To our knowledge, NLR has not been studied in OSAS. We conducted the present study to evaluate the association between OSAS and inflammatory markers CRP, ESR and NLR.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of systemic inflammatory markers C-Reactive Protein, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Ratio and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in sleep apnea patients

    Measured: After withdrawal of serum samples, patients were taken to sleep lab at the same day and polysomnography reports were evaluated 24 hours later

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Ordu University.

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 23 Oct 2014. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of systemic inflammatory markers C-Reactive Protein, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Ratio and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in sleep apnea patients (time frame: After withdrawal of serum samples, patients were taken to sleep lab at the same day and polysomnography reports were evaluated 24 hours later). 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 23 Oct 2014.
