About this study

The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that treatment of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with comorbid chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and/or heart failure (HF) with positive airway pressure (PAP) is associated with reduced risk for hospitalizations and death, lower health care utilization, and greater cost-effectiveness.

Read the detailed description

In this retrospective analysis the health care utilization in patients with COPD and HF will be quantified. Data of patients who additionally underwent a polysomnography or polygraphy between 2012 and 2015 are taken into consideration. The data (risk for hospitalization and death, comorbidities, diagnosis and therapy of SDB, costs of health care utilization) will be collected 12 months before and 12 months after diagnosis of SDB.

The patients' medical records will also be reviewed for compliance to treatment for SDB, and the patients will be classified as treated or untreated. The treated group will be divided into two subgroups: those with "good adherence" to PAP therapy (≥ 4 hours PAP use per night) and those with "poor adherence" to PAP therapy (< 4 hours PAP use per night). Healthcare Utilizations, HF or COPD exacerbations and mortality will be identified by reviewing medical records, National database when available, or self-reported by patient or patient's family through phone interview or questionnaire.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by Wissenschaftliches Institut Bethanien e.V at 5 sites in 3 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Germany, Denmark, France. 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?

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?

All-cause Healthcare Costs (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Oct 2018.
