Validation of Actigraph Measured Sleep During Acute Diverticulitis

Completed
Conditions
Acute Diverticulitis
Registration Number
NCT01840878
Lead Sponsor
Herlev Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the accuracy of actigraph measured sleep compared to the golden standard (polysomnography) during Acute uncomplicated diverticulitis. Our hypothesis is the actigraph is accurate for sleep-monitoring for this group of patients

Detailed Description

The actigraph has been proven to measured sleep data with an accuracy about 80% (compared with Polysomnography) in patients who have undergone surgery.

But this accuracy has not been validated in relation to none surgical inflammatory diseases. This study will investigate the accuracy of actigraph measured sleep in diverticulitis patients.

Following methods will be applied

Device: Wrist-Actigraph - Octagonal Basic Motionlogger, Ambulatory monitoring Inc, New York, USA

Other: Sleep-diary

Device: Polysomnograph - Embla Titanium (Natus Medical Incorporated, USA)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in Sleep data during acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (1-5th days following the admission) from baseline at remission (5th-30th days)1st-30th days following the admission

Sleep measured by Actigraphy (total minutes asleep, sleep effectiveness, sleep latency, awakenings). A wrist actigraph wil be worn from 1st day of the admission and taken off on the 31st day.

Changes in Circadian rhythm during acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (1-5th days following the admission) from baseline at remission (5th-30th days)1st-30th days following the admission

Circadian rhythm measured by Actigraphy. A wrist actigraph wil be worn from 1st day of the admission and taken off on the 31st day.

Accuracy of actigraphy measured sleep data in compare to Polysomnography both in inflammatory condition and in remission condition1st, 2nd and 30th days following the admission

Sleep data measured by Actigraphy (total minutes asleep, sleep effectiveness, sleep latency, awakenings) are to validate with the PSG-measured data
