Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to better understand how sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder in which a person has one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while sleeping, may affect pregnancy and to determine the effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), a treatment that uses mild air pressure to keep the airways open during sleep, for pregnant women with sleep apnea.

  • Device: CPAP
  • Device: sham-CPAP

Detailed Description

Emerging data support a link between sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly preeclampsia. Furthermore, SDB, which is characterized by intermittent nocturnal hypoxia-reoxygenation as well as sleep disruption, results in endothelial dysfunction and metabolic dysregulation, the same biological pathways that have been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Obesity is a well-known risk factor for both adverse pregnancy outcomes and SDB, and has been associated with the same aforementioned biological aberrations. Therefore, obesity complicates the definition of a causal relationship between SDB and pregnancy outcomes. While some classic cardiovascular risk factors (prehypertension) are certainly relevant in pregnancy, there are also well-established risk factors that are unique to pregnancy (uterine vascular stiffness, placental angiogenic factors). The interplay between SDB, obesity and these unique cardiovascular risk factors remains undefined, and this proposal aims to address this knowledge gap. Without this data, our ability to understand how we can mitigate these risks through the use of therapeutic interventions for SDB, such as CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), is compromised. To further address this knowledge gap, we will make use of the placenta's ability to accumulate evidence of damage over time and provide a record of maternal vascular health throughout gestation. Numerous placental lesions deriving from maternal vascular disease have been identified and can be readily detected on placental pathology. These lesions can provide a measure of the severity of hypoxic stress experienced by the fetus during gestation.

The investigators' central hypothesis is that SDB is an effect modifier that increases maternal cardiovascular risk and placental hypoxic injury in obese pregnant women, and that CPAP treatment during pregnancy will result in an improved cardiovascular risk and placental profile. To test this hypothesis the investigaotrs will identify a cohort of obese women both with and without SDB. The investigators will examine SDB's impact on maternal vascular stiffness (uterine artery Doppler), angiogenesis (pregnancy specific angiogenic factors e.g., sFLT-1) and metabolism (insulin resistance) across pregnancy (Aim 1). The investigators will perform a randomized controlled trial of autotitrating- CPAP verses sham-CPAP in pregnancy to examine the impact of CPAP treatment during pregnancy on cardiovascular risk (Aim 2) and will explore the interplay between SDB, CPAP and evidence of maternal vascular disease and chronic fetal hypoxia by evaluating the placental profile of obese women with and without SDB (Aim 3).

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
No Intervention: Obese, SDB negative

No intervention, observational comparison group

Active Comparator: Obese, SDB postive, CPAP

Therapeutic CPAP

Device: CPAP
CPAP is a device that has a mask worn over the nose that is attached to a device that provides positive airway pressure. CPAP is worn while sleeping, it splints open the airway and prevents apneas (cessation of breathing) and hypopneas (reduced airflow while breathing).

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Uterine Artery Doppler Mean Pulsatility Index -by Ultrasound [early pregnancy (14-16 weeks gestation)]

      The uterine artery was located using color doppler imaging by placing the ultrasound probe in the right or left iliac fossa in the sagittal plane. The uterine artery was then identified where it crosses the external iliac artery. Doppler waveform was obtained using a sampling gate encompassing the width of the main uterine artery at an angle of insonation of <30 degrees if possible. The PI was calculated using the formula: maximum-minimum velocity/mean velocity.

    2. Soluble FMS-like Tyrosine Kinase 1 (sFlt-1)/ Placental Growth Factor (PlGF) Ratio-blood Measurement [early pregnancy (14-16 weeks gestation)]

      sFlt-1 is a splice variant of vascular endothelial growth receptor (VEGF) with antiangiogenic properties that is upregulated in preeclampsia. PlGF is an angiogenic cytokine that is highly expressed in the placenta. Low levels have been associated with preeclampsia.

    3. Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR)-Blood Measurement of Glucose and Insulin [early pregnancy (14-16 weeks gestation)]

      Insulin resistance was calculated using the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR, fasting insulin (µU/mL) x fasting glucose (mmol/L) /22.5)

    4. Uterine Artery Doppler Mean Pulsatility Index -by Ultrasound [late pregnancy (28-32 weeks gestation)]

      The uterine artery was located using color doppler imaging by placing the ultrasound probe in the right or left iliac fossa in the sagittal plane. The uterine artery was then identified where it crosses the external iliac artery. Doppler waveform was obtained using a sampling gate encompassing the width of the main uterine artery at an angle of insonation of <30 degrees if possible. The PI was calculated using the formula: maximum-minimum velocity/mean velocity.

    5. Soluble FMS-like Tyrosine Kinase 1 (sFlt-1)/ Placental Growth Factor (PlGF) Ratio-blood Measurement [late pregnancy (28-32 weeks gestation)]

      sFlt-1 is a splice variant of vascular endothelial growth receptor (VEGF) with antiangiogenic properties that is upregulated in preeclampsia. PlGF is an angiogenic cytokine that is highly expressed in the placenta. Low levels have been associated with preeclampsia.

    6. Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR)-Blood Measurement of Glucose and Insulin [late pregnancy (28-32 weeks gestation)]

      Insulin resistance was calculated using the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR, fasting insulin (µU/mL) x fasting glucose (mmol/L) /22.5)

    3. Mean Arterial Blood Pressure (mmHg) Angiogenic Domain [late pregnancy (28-32 weeks gestation)]

    4. Soluble Endoglin (sEng ,pg/mL)-Blood Measurement [early pregnancy (14-16 weeks gestation)]
