Evaluation of Infrared Thermal Imaging in Diagnosis of OSAHS in Children

April 14, 2023 updated by: Lijun Zeng, State Key Laboratory of Respiratory Disease

Evaluation of Infrared Thermal Imaging in Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome in Children

OSAHS is a common sleep breathing disorder in children, with the same incidence as childhood asthma, and is mainly caused by upper airway stenosis caused by tonsil/adenoid hyperplasia. Clinical findings show that children with OSAHS often present rhinitis symptoms and like rubbing eyes, but there is no evidence to suggest a correlation. Children with OSAHS suffer from recurrent hypoxemia during sleep, and the existing detection methods such as lateral nasopharyngeal radiographs and electronic nasopharyngoscopy can only reflect the structural and morphological changes of the oral, nasal and pharyngeal tissues, but cannot prove their functional status. Previous studies have found that infrared thermal imaging can reflect the oral, nasal and pharyngeal inflammation of patients, and the infrared expression of patients' frontal region and eyes can also reflect the physiological changes caused by sleep deprivation.

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.

Detailed Description

In this project, the children were divided into four groups: primary snoring, critical OSAHS, mild OSAHS and moderate to severe OSAHS, and the tests were completed, including lateral nasopharyngeal radiographs, infrared detection of oropharynx and pharynx, infrared detection of frontal area and eye area, intelligence and behavior scale assessment, etc. Furthermore, the correlation between infrared detection and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea index, peripheral blood oxygen saturation, adenoid hyperplasia degree of nasopharyngeal lateral film as parameters were analyzed, and the sensitivity and specificity of infrared detection was determined to confirm the diagnostic value of OSAHS. It provides a theoretical basis for finding a convenient, non-damaging, non-radiation, visual and suitable for children functional image detection method.

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.

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.

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 (Anticipated)

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.
April 1, 2023

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

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.

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.
