Clinical Trial Summary

200 patients with colorectal cancer will be investigated before surgery and 100 of them after surgery. Investigations will include polysomonographic sleep apnea recordings during one night, lung function measurements, blood gas samples and questionnaires. Controls: Men and women from two population-based cohort studies

Description:

Inclusion: 200 patients with colorectal cancer will be investigated before surgery and 100 of them will also be investigated in the same manner after surgery. Due to drop-outs we calculate a need of inviting at least 250 patients. Exclusion: Dementia, CPAP treated sleep apnea investigations: Patients are investigated with lung function, blood-gas samples, questionnaires, overnight polysomnographic sleep apnea recordings including oro-nasal airflow, thoraco-abdominal respiration belts, chin-EMG, EOG, EEG, ECG (V5) and body position. Controls: Men and women from two population-based cohort studies the "Sleep and health in women" and the "Men in Uppsala: A Study of Sleep, Apnea and Cardiometabolic Health" and older men and women from a local senior organization. Outcomes: Prevalence of sleep apnea and hypoxia, sleep quality, and lung function, blood gas, STOP-BANG, Epworth sleepiness scale, Mallampati score, symptoms of sleep apnea, surgical complications, mortality, cancer severity.
