Filter by:This study aims to investigate the influence of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSA) on the severity and prognosis of patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), and to evaluate the therapeutic effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) intervention in such patients. Although the study is designed as an observational cohort study, where patients self-selected whether to receive treatment rather than being assigned, there is still an intervention project, CPAP, present in the observational cohort. Through a cohort study design, scientific evidences are expected for clinical decision-making and optimize treatment strategies for patients with OSA and IgAN.
This study aims to investigate the influence of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSA) on the severity and prognosis of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and to evaluate the therapeutic effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) intervention in such patients. Although the study is designed as an observational cohort study, where patients self-selected whether to receive treatment rather than being assigned, there is still an intervention project, CPAP, present in the observational cohort. Through a cohort study design, scientific evidences are expected for clinical decision-making and optimize treatment strategies for patients with OSA and CKD.
This cohort study aims to investigate the impact of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSA) resulting from chronic tonsillitis on pregnancy outcomes. The hypothesis posits that chronic tonsillitis-induced OSA may exacerbate pregnancy complications and increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
This cohort study aims to investigate the impact of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSA) on pregnancy and fetal outcomes. The hypothesis posits that OSA may aggravate pregnancy complications, elevate the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, and potentially impact fetal development.
The primary purpose of this randomized controlled trial s to investigate whether surgical reduction of palatine tonsils (tonsillotomy) is a superior treatment compared to complete surgical removal of palatine tonsils (tonsillectomy) in adults patients with obstructive sleep apnea and concomitant enlarged tonsils in regards of perioperative and postoperative morbidity.
Obesity is a major risk factor for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), the most common sleep-disordered breathing related to neurocognitive and metabolic syndromes, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Although strongly recommended for this condition, there are no studies on the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary weight loss and lifestyle intervention including nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, and smoking and alcohol cessation in women. INTERAPNEA-Women is a randomized controlled trial with a two-arm parallel design aimed at determining the effects of an interdisciplinary tailored weight loss and lifestyle intervention on OSA outcomes. The study will include 180 females aged 18-65 with a body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 and severe to moderate OSA randomly assigned to usual care (i.e., continuous positive airway pressure), or interdisciplinary weight loss and lifestyle intervention combined with usual care. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, intervention end-point, and six-month post-intervention, including apnoea-hypopnoea index (primary outcome), other neurophysical and cardiorespiratory polysomnographic outcomes, sleep quality, daily functioning and mood, body weight and composition, physical fitness, blood biomarkers, and health-related quality of life. INTERAPNEA may serve to establish a cost-effective treatment not only for the improvement of OSA and its vast and severe comorbidities, but also for a potential remission of this condition.
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) therapy (Inspire system) is intended for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who cannot be effectively treated with the first-line treatment options. Recently, the request for reimbursement of the Inspire system in Belgium was approved. The aim is to create a registry of OSA patients that are treated with HNS (Inspire system) within routine clinical care at the Antwerp University Hospital.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of stellate ganglion block in Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The main question it aims to answer are: • Can stellate ganglion block improve Obstructive Sleep Apnea? Patients were randomly divided into two groups, all provided with routine therapy. Based on this, the experimental group was given stellate ganglion block. The video fluoroscopic swallowing study was done to test the swallowing function before and after the study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the adherence to Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy for newly diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients. The main question(s) it aims to answer are: 1. To compare the adherence of proactive therapy and conventional Automatic-PAP (APAP) therapy short-term (3 months) and long-term (12 months) for newly diagnosed OSA patients. 2. To compare health outcomes (AHI, nightly pressure, and patient-reported outcomes) between proactive therapy and conventional APAP therapy.
Sleep-related breathing disorders are highly prevalent and are usually treated with positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. To determine the quality of therapy, PAP therapy devices measure the frequency of residual breathing events. For this purpose, breathing events of different classes are detected, counted and identified. This clinical investigation aims to evaluate the performance of prismaLINE devices based on the accuracy of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) recorded in the devices. During the PAP titration night, the AHI is similarly detected via polysomnography (PSG) device and a subsequent manual scoring of the recorded PSG data. The validation of the device AHI accuracy refers to the alignment with the manually scored AHI. Further goals of this clinical investigation are the confirmation of safety of the prismaLINE devices, the confirmation of performance and safety of LM full face masks (full face masks of the manufacturer Löwenstein Medical Technology), as well as the investigation of the influence of LM full face masks on therapy quality. The most relevant inclusion criteria are diagnosis of a sleep-related breathing disorder and indication for therapy with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Treatment takes place with prismaLINE PAP therapy devices in combination with LM full face masks.
