Obesity in Sleep Medicine - Focusing on OHS Phenotypes
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study focuses on a comprehensive examination of obese patients with sleep-related breathing disorders including patients with OSA, sleep hypoventilation and OHS. The aim of this study is to (1) evaluate characteristics of and differences between severity levels of obesity-related breathing disorders, (2) discuss pathophysiological variables associated with hypoventilation during sleep or at daytime and (3) find functional parameters indicating sleep hypoventilation.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
OSA Obstructive Sleep Apnea as confirmed by full-night attended in-lab polysomnography showing an apnea-hypopnea index of >=15 per hour or, alternatively, an apnea-hypopnea index >=5 with excessive daytime sleepiness as defined by an Epworth Sleepiness Scale score >9. |
Diagnostic Test: Sleep Study
Full-night attended in-lab polysomnography with accompanying transcutaneous capnometry
Diagnostic Test: Pulmonary Function Test
Bodyplethysmographic assessment
Diagnostic Test: Hypercapnic ventilatory response
Measurement of hypercapnic ventilatory response based on the method described by Read in 1967, using a rebreathing bag
Diagnostic Test: Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test
Symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test with a ramp protocol according to the ATS/ACCP and ERS recommendations

OSA+SH Obstructive Sleep Apnea as confirmed by full-night attended in-lab polysomnography showing an apnea-hypopnea index of >=15 per hour or, alternatively, an apnea-hypopnea index >=5 with excessive daytime sleepiness as defined by an Epworth Sleepiness Scale score >9. Furthermore, co-existing hypoventilation during sleep, defined by the presence of intermittent hypercapnia as measured by transcutaneous capnometry and arterialized capillary blood gas analysis. |
