Registry of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Hypertensive Patients in China

Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Hypertensive Patients in China: A Prospective National Multi-center Registry

Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine · NCT05735444

This study looks at how well people with high blood pressure and sleep apnea stick to using a CPAP machine and how it affects their health over time.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in patients with hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) across multiple centers in China. It will assess both short- and long-term adherence to CPAP and identify predictors that influence this adherence. Additionally, the study will explore the relationship between CPAP adherence and various health outcomes, including blood pressure control and the incidence of cardiovascular events. The research is observational and involves patients who have been diagnosed with hypertension and suspected OSAS.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with hypertension who have a STOP-Bang score of 3 or higher and are currently undergoing CPAP therapy.

Not a fit: Patients with severe hypertension, other significant respiratory diseases, or those intolerant to CPAP therapy may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve understanding of CPAP adherence and its impact on hypertension management, potentially leading to better cardiovascular outcomes for patients.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on CPAP adherence, this registry approach focusing on hypertensive patients with OSAS is relatively novel.
