About this study

Official title: Screening and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in High-risk Pregnancy: A Multi-center Randomized Controlled Trial

This is an open-label multicenter randomized-controlled trial in 3 tertiary care hospitals including Ramathibodi Hospital, Phramongkutklao Hospital and Rajavithi Hospital. The study involved screening of obstructive sleep apnea in high risk pregnancy during 1st and 2nd trimesters. Randomization to either continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or usual antenatal care (ANC) until delivery will be done. Efficacy of CPAP on pregnancy outcome will be analysed.

Read the detailed description

Screening for sleep disordered breathing (Respiratory disturbance index, RDI ≥ 5 events/hour) with type 2 sleep test will be performed in eligible subjects during early1st trimester (<16 weeks). Repeat sleep study will be done if the RDI in 1st trimester is less than 5. If the subjects meet the inclusion criteria without any of the exclusion criteria, randomization into either receiving CPAP treatment or usual ANC will be done. The pressure of CPAP machine is determined using autoCPAP machine algorithm at 90 percentile. Adjustment of CPAP machine is repeated at 24-28 week gestations. Subjects in both groups received standard usual care during ANC and outcomes were measured with similar case record forms.

    Measured: During pregnancy until delivery

  6. Fasting plasma glucose

    Fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL)

    Measured: during 24-28 weeks gestation

  7. Fasting plasma glucose

    Fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL)

    Fetal growth (grams)

    Measured: During 24-28 weeks gestation

  10. Fetal ultrasound results

    Fetal growth (grams)

    Measured: During 32-34 weeks gestation

  11. Fetal ultrasound results

    Uterine Doppler arterial blood flow

    Measured: During 18-20 weeks gestation

  12. Fetal ultrasound results

    Uterine Doppler arterial blood flow

    Measured: During 24-28 weeks gestation

  13. Fetal ultrasound results

    Uterine Doppler arterial blood flow

    Measured: During 32-34 weeks gestation

  14. Neonatal birthweight

    Neonatal birthweight (grams)

    Measured: at delivery

  15. APGAR score

    The Apgar scale is determined by evaluating the newborn baby on five simple criteria on a scale from zero to two, then summing up the five values thus obtained. The resulting Apgar score ranges from zero to 10. The five criteria are summarized using words chosen to form an acronym (Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration). Scores 7 and above are generally normal, 4 to 6 fairly low, and 3 and below are generally regarded as critically low.

    Measured: at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth

  16. Neonatal length of stay in hospital

    Neonatal length of hospital stay (days) after birth until the newborn is discharged from the hospital

    Measured: Through study completion up to 24 weeks

  17. Neonatal ICU admission rate

    Neonatal ICU admission rate (%) after birth

    Measured: Through study completion up to 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive and Pre-Eclampsia, run by Ramathibodi Hospital at 3 sites in Thailand.

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 12 inclusion and 4 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 7 Dec 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Thailand. 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?

Measurement of blood pressure (time frame: During 24-28 weeks gestation). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03356106, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Dec 2021.
