- Registration Number
- NCT00743561
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Bordeaux
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ambulatory polygraphy during a short hospitalization in a neurology unit has the same performance than inpatient polysomnography, the actual gold standard, in the diagnosis of sleep apnea in patients suffering from multiple system atrophy (MSA).
- Detailed Description
MSA patients frequently show sleep apnea. Inpatient polysomnography is currently the gold standard in the diagnosis of sleep apnea. However, its limited availability and high costs restrain a systematic screening of MSA patients. In contrast, ambulatory polygraphy is easy to achieve during a short hospitalization in a neurology unit or at the patient's home. Its validity in MSA is unknown.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether ambulatory polygraphy realized during a short hospitalization in a neurology unit has the same performance than inpatient polysomnography in the diagnosis of sleep apnea in MSA patients. Polygraphy recordings will also be done during daytime to characterize diurnal respiratory disturbances.
Principal Objective :
To assess the performance of ambulatory polygraphy in the diagnosis of sleep apnea in MSA patients in comparison to polysomnography (reference test).
Secondary Objectives :
To assess the performance of ambulatory polygraphy in the diagnosis of sleep apnea in comparison to polysomnography in two subgroups of MSA patients: one at high risk and one at low risk according to the results of the Berlin Questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale.
To assess the inter-rater agreement of ambulatory polygraphy. To assess the association between sleep apnea and (i) the severity of MSA, (ii) the quality of life, (iii) the quality of sleep, and (iv) the presence of depression.
To assess the association between the severity of sleep apnea and (i) the severity of MSA, (ii) the quality of life, (iii) the quality of sleep and (iv) the presence of depression.
To assess diurnal respiratory disturbances in MSA by performing polygraphical recordings during daytime.
To assess the association of diurnal respiratory disturbances in MSA and (i) the severity of MSA and (ii) the quality of life.
Study design :
Cross-sectional prospective study (delay of one month between ambulatory polygraphy during a short hospitalization in a neurology unit and inpatient polysomnography). Each test will be carried out an interpreted blind to the other test.
Study plan:
Visit of Selection (V0)
* Verification of eligibility
* Study related information Visit of inclusion (From 0 to 90 days after selection)
* Verification of eligibility
* Diagnosis criteria
* Oral informed consent of patient or representative
* Clinical examination by using UMSARS, MMSE, Berlin Questionnaire, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, PSQI, MSA-QoL, SF-36 and Beck Depression Inventory
* Ambulatory polygraphy during a short hospitalization in a neurology unit Visit of follow-up (V2, 1 month ± 5 days after V1)

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Assessment of the performance of ambulatory polygraphy in the diagnosis of sleep apnea in comparison to polysomnography. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, positive and negative likelihood ratios will be calculated. 1 month
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Assessment of the performance of ambulatory polygraphy in the diagnosis of sleep apnea in comparison to polysomnography in two subgroups (high vs low risk for sleep apnea). Performances of the tests will be compared between the two sub-groups. 1 month Assessment of the performance of ambulatory polygraphy in the diagnosis of sleep apnea in comparison to polysomnography for different AHI thresholds (ROC curve analysis). 1 month Assessment of inter-rater variability by (i) calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient and its confidence interval (95%) for estimation of apnea/hypopnea index, and (ii) calculating kappa coefficient for SAOS diagnostic (dichotomous variable). 1 month Assessment of the association between sleep apnea and: severity of MSA (UMSARS), quality of life (MSA-Qol, SF-36), quality of sleep (PSQI) and depression (BDI). 1 month Assessment of the association between the severity of sleep apnea and: severity of MSA (UMSARS), quality of life (MSA-Qol, SF-36), quality of sleep (PSQI) and depression (BDI). 1 month Assessment of diurnal respiratory disturbances: 1. calculation of the AHI and the indices of obstructive and central respiratory events; description of all type of abnormal respiratory pattern. 1 month Assessment of the association between diurnal respiratory disturbances and: 1. the severity of MSA as measured by the UMSARS 2. the quality of life as measured by the MSA-QoL and SF-36 1 month
