Variability in Nocturnal Oxygen Parameters in Suspected Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: oximetry
Registration Number
NCT04675268
Lead Sponsor
Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
Brief Summary

The investigators would like to evaluate the variability of oxygen (and PPG) parameters during 7 nights at home. Oxygen (and PPG) parameters will also be evaluated during 1 night at the hospital (diagnostic polysomnography).

Based on currently developed algorithms, surrogate apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), cardiovascular status and the variability of these parameters will be evaluated.

Detailed Description

The main objective of this trial is to evaluate the variability in nocturnal oxygen (and PPG) parameters during 7 consecutive nights at home and to identify clinical predictors of variability in patients with suspected OSA.

Data regarding sleep position, alcohol intake and sleep duration will be evaluated (these parameters could be important to explain variability).

Additional objectives are to compare the parameters measured at home with the parameters measured during an in-hospital polysomnography.

The investigators will also evaluate variability in the surrogate AHI described by the group based on the measurements at home and the impact of multi-night evaluation of oxygen (and PPG) parameters on the recently developed mICS algorithm will be explored.

This study is a first explorative approach for further (multi-site) work to define the burden of OSA associated with cardiovascular or psychofunctional problems.

Based on a previously developed algorithm, based on oximetry (including PPG), a surrogate AHI can be calculated. The variability in the surrogate AHI during 7 nights is evaluated.

Evaluation of clinical predictors (body position) of this variability.7 nights

Based on data of the McRoberts Move monitor, the correlation between body position and the variability of nocturnal oxygen parameters is evaluated.

Evaluation of clinical predictors (alcohol intake, sleep duration) of this variability.7 nights

Based on sleep diaries, the correlation between alcohol intake and/or sleep duration and the variability of nocturnal oxygen parameters is evaluated.
