Sleep Respiratory Disorders Evaluation in Sickle Cell Disease Children

Completed
Conditions
Sickle Cell Disease
Respiration Disorders
Registration Number
NCT01565954
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

In Sickle cell disease children, sleep respiratory abnormalities are risk factors for vaso-occlusive complications, as well as cerebral vasculopathy.

A 18 months follow-up children with sickle cell disease evaluating sleep respiratory problems frequency and etiology, as well as their influence on sickle cell disease complications.

Detailed Description

* Inclusion visit with physical examination. A 2.9 ml blood sample will be necessary, if not done within the framework of care within 6 months for: CBC (Cell Blood Count), reticulocytes counts (1.2 ml of blood), liver enzymes, electrolytes, urea, creatininemia (1,2 ml of blood) and fetal hemoglobin (0.5 ml of blood). - A complete standardized examination including nasopharynx endoscopy, if not yet done in usual care, to identified upper airway obstruction

* A standardized pneumology evaluation to identified obstructive lung symptomatology

* An ambulatory polysomnography will be performed within days following inclusion, during sleep and will allow electroencephalogram recording, oculomotricity, muscles (mentalis muscles and tibialis anterior) movements, electrocardiogram and respiratory activity recording.

The steering committee will classify the children in three populations based on their exam results:

* Group 1: no abnormality in polysomnography

* Group 2: obstructive sleep-related disorder

* Group 3: isolated sleep hypoxemia for group3, patients will have a new ambulatory polysomnography.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Vaso-occlusive and cerebral complications frequency18 months

Vaso-occlusive complications frequency and abnormal transcranial doppler (TCD) during the 18 months of follow up (cohort study) 3 subpopulations will be identified upon polysomnographic results:

* Group 1: normal polysomnography

* Group 2: sleep abnormalities related to obstructive upper airway disease or bronchial disease

* Group 3: sleep abnormalities associated with non-obstructive pattern and isolated hypoxemia identified. The therapeutic trial will be done on this group.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Relationship between sleep abnormalities and transcranial doppler abnormalities2 months

Analyze the relationship between sleep respiratory and non-respiratory abnormalities and transcranial doppler abnormalities

Polysomnography relevance compared to sleep ventilatory polygraphy2 months

Polysomnography relevance compared to sleep ventilatory polygraphy in diagnosis of sleep abnormalities

Respiratory sleep abnormalities frequency18 months
