PRevalence of Obstructive Sleep apnoEa and Reduction of Promoters in AF (PROSERPin-AF)

March 13, 2023 updated by: Istituto Auxologico Italiano

Prevalenza Delle Apnee Notturne e Riduzione Dei Fattori Promotori Nella Fibrillazione Atriale

This study aims to identify how many patients who have atrial fibrillation, also have sleep apnoea. This is important because sleep apnoea can be a trigger to atrial fibrillation and it can be corrected with a simple intervention. Therefore it is important to understand its prevalence (how many patients with atrial fibrillation are affected by it). Also, obesity and sleep disorders are often associated, therefore the evolution of atrial fibrillation is studied in patients who also have obesity and have lost weight compared with patients who did not loose any weight or are not obese. As medications or therapy are not changed, this is an observational study.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

N/A

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

patients between 18 and 75 years of age, male and female, who come to the study centre between January 2019 and January 2023 with a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and a recurrence (or first episode) in the previous year and who can undergo polysomnography

Description

Inclusion Criteria primary outcome:

  • 1 episode of atrial fibrillation in the previous year

Inclusion Criteria secondary outcome:

  • BMI > o = 27Kg/m2
  • AHI >30 o con 15<AHI<30 associated with other symptoms (sleeplessness, uncontrolled hypertension and cerebral events)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Ejection Fraction <50%
  • HFpEF not related to atrial fibrillation.
  • coronary artery disease
  • valvular cardiomyopathy
  • patient already in treatment for sleep apnoea
  • hyperthyroidism

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea in patients with atrial fibrillation
Time Frame: Baseline and at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months
Change in prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea from baseline to 3 years
Baseline and at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months
Percentage of men and women with obstructive sleep apnoea in patients with atrial fibrillation
Time Frame: Baseline
Percentage of men and women with obstructive sleep apnoea in patients with atrial fibrillation
Baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in body weight
Time Frame: Baseline and at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months
Change in body weight from baseline to 3 years
Baseline and at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months
Change in incidence of atrial fibrillation recurrencies
Time Frame: Baseline and at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months

Baseline and at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months
Change in quality of life
Time Frame: Baseline and at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months
Change in quality of life from baseline to 3 years
Baseline and at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 2020

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
December 31, 2022

Study Completion (Anticipated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
