About this study

Official title: Adverse Long-term Consequences of Sleep Disordered Breathing: Using the Ottawa Hospital Sleep Database in Predictive Model Development and Validation.

The primary purpose of the proposed study is to validate our previously developed predictive model for adults with obstructive sleep apnea using (i) clinical data from multiple large academic centers, (ii) a longer follow-up period, and (iii) an extended definition of outcomes of interest.

The TOH sleep database was created as a part of the project: "Validation of provincial health administrative data algorithms to identify patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA): Feasibility project". Protocol ID: 20170591-01H (AMENDMENT APPROVED on December 19, 2018) to be used for future clinical, research, educational and quality improvement purposes.

Read the detailed description

The primary purpose of the proposed study is to validate the previously developed predictive model by the investigators for adults with obstructive sleep apnea using (i) clinical data from multiple large academic centers, (ii) a longer follow-up period, and (iii) an extended definition of outcomes of interest.

From clinical and quality improvement perspective the TOH database will be used for description, evaluation, monitoring and/or educational purposes. For example, using this database the investigators will be able (i) to describe characteristics of individuals who underwent a diagnostic sleep study at the TOH between 2015 and 2017 to understand better clinical and health care utilization needs as well as to educate sleep fellows and technologists; and (ii) to evaluate the quality of the triaging process in the sleep clinic. This database will be used to: (i) examine risk factors for long-term adverse health consequences (e.g. cardio-vascular diseases, diabetes, depression, dementia, depression and cancer) among individuals referred for diagnostic sleep testing in order to identify high risk groups that are potential targets for education and treatment, (ii) develop health interventions in order to improve the quality of care and management strategies available for adults with chronic diseases that are comorbid with obstructive airway diseases and sleep-related disorders, (iii) evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the developed health interventions, e.g. screening for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), evaluation of home versus laboratory-based diagnosis of OSA, and education strategies, (iv) develop key messages for different stakeholder groups (health care providers, patients and their relatives, provincial sleep and lung associations, public health managers, the respiratory vendor among others) related to diagnosis, education and treatment of patients with respiratory and sleep-related problems.

What participants receive

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

  • No intervention but exposureOther

    Different sleep disorders will be considered as an exposure. The data elements included in the database: demographics, date of the sleep study, study type, all available polysomnography indices, symptoms, sleep schedule, comorbidities, medications, social history, electrocardiography, positive airway pressure treatment related variables.

What is being measured

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

  1. Long-term adverse health consequences

    The primary outcome will be time from the index date (diagnostic sleep study) to the composite outcome of interest which include: cardio-vascular diseases, diabetes, depression, dementia, and cancer as well as chronic lung diseases and all-cause mortality. Conditions of interested will be defined from provincial health administrative data using validated algorithms that have utilized ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes as well as billing codes for outpatients visits, and procedural codes. Please see ICES Data Dictionary for details: https://www.ices.on.ca/Data-and-Privacy/ICES-data/Data-dictionary.

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 10 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Health care utilization

    All-cause mortality, all-cause hospitalizations, emergency department visits and associated costs will be defined from provincial health administrative data. Registered Persons Database will be used to define mortality. Hospitalizations and emergency department visits will be defined using: Discharge Abstract Database (all hospital admission and discharge data), National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (emergency department visits). Please see ICES Data Dictionary for details: https://www.ices.on.ca/Data-and-Privacy/ICES-data/Data-dictionary. Total healthcare expenditures will be calculated using the ICES person-level health utilization costing algorithms.

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 10 years

  2. Motor vehicle crashes

    Different definitions of motor vehicle crashes will be considered. Motor vehicle crashes requiring hospital or emergency department visit: the investigators will identify traffic emergencies characterized as a crash using the International Classification of Diseases codes 10th Revision (V20-V69). The investigators will include emergency department visits involving crashes in which the patient was the driver of the motor vehicle and exclude emergency department visits involving crashes in which the patient was a passenger or pedestrian.

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Polysomnography and Sleep Apnea Syndromes, run by Ottawa Hospital Research Institute at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2020. 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 Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Long-term adverse health consequences (time frame: Through study completion, up to 10 years). 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 NCT03834792, which also lists 1 linked publication.
