Validity of a Home Respiratory Polygraphy for the Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
Interventions
Other: Home Respiratory Polygraphy (APNIA)
Other: Standard Polysomnography (PSG)
Registration Number
NCT03415633
Lead Sponsor
Hospital Universitario Araba
Brief Summary

To assess the diagnostic validity and cost-effectiveness of a APNiA device, a home respiratory polygraphy (HRP).

Detailed Description

To assess the diagnostic validity and cost-effectiveness of a APNiA device, a home respiratory polygraphy (HRP), performed at home compared with the standard polysomnography (PSG) in adults with clinically suspected Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

METHODOLOGY: DESIGN: Randomized, prospective, multicenter, and crossover trial. The study will include 240 adults, both sexes, with clinical suspicion of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). MEASUREMENTS: To all patients with clinical suspected OSA and referred to the sleep units, the following questionnaires and measurements will be performed: a) clinical history; b) Anthropometric variables: weight, height, body mass index, neck circumference and percentile; c)Epworth sleepiness scale; OSA questionnaire, quality of life and clinical questionnaires and comorbidity; d) PSG in the sleep laboratory; e) HRP at home; f) Cost-effectiveness variables.

ANALYSIS: Data from HRP and from full PSG will be compared as follows: 1) Agreement of results according to the different apnea-hypopnea index by using the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve; 2) The concordance of the diagnosis and treatment decisions when using clinical findings and data from PSG or HRP at home; 3) All data will be analyzed independently; 4) A cost-effectiveness analysis of the different diagnostic and therapeutic procedures will be performed.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI)baseline

To assess the diagnostic validity of a home respiratory polygraphy (HRP) compared with the standard polysomnography (PSG) in adults with clinically suspected Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), based on the results of the Apnea-hypopnea Index (AHI).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Therapeutic decision6 month

The concordance of the diagnosis and treatment decision when using clinical findings and data from standard polysomnography (PSG) or home respiratory polygraphy (HRP).

STOP-BANG Sleep apnea questionnairebaseline and at 6 month

Sleep Apnea Questionnaire. High STOP-Bang score indicates a high probability of obstructive sleep apnea.

Blood pressurebaseline and at 6 month

Blood pressure measurements: systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure

Epworth Sleepiness Scalebaseline and at 6 month

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (the sum of 8 items score,0-3) can range from 0 to 24. Scores of 11-24 represent increasing levels of excessive daytime sleepiness.

Cost-effectiveness analysis6 month

Cost-efficacy evaluation

Anthropometric variables (Body mass index)baseline and at 6 month

Body mass index

Berlin questionnairebaseline and at 6 month

The questionnaire consists of 3 categories related to the risk of having sleep apnea. Patients can be classified into High Risk or Low Risk based on their responses to the individual items and their overall scores in the symptom categories.

High Risk:

if there are 2 or more categories where the score is positive.

Low Risk:

if there is only 1 or no categories where the score is positive.

Quality of life (EuroQOL test)baseline and at 6 month

Evaluate by EuroQOL test, is a standardised measure of health status. Description of the state of health in five dimensions (mobility, self-car, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression), each o wich is defined with three levels of severity, as measured by a Likert scale type (no problems, some problems and many problems or inability to activity).
