Taiwan Obstructive Sleep Apnea Cohort

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The study will prospectively enroll 7,000 patients referred to the China Medical University Hospital sleep center from 2020–2027 and collect full-night polysomnography and clinical data, which will be linked to the National Health Insurance Research Database. Polysomnography parameters will be used to derive endotypic traits such as measures of airway collapsibility, loop gain, arousal threshold, and muscle compensation. The investigators will examine associations between clinical features, PSG-based endotypes, and subsequent health outcomes recorded in the national database. A subset of participants will be invited for additional testing including lung function, blood serum tests, arterial blood gas, and cognitive assessments to provide complementary phenotyping.
