Sleep apnea in obese pregnancies: hidden danger for mom and baby?
NCT ID NCT03509805
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 89 obese pregnant women to find out how common sleep apnea is and whether it is linked to high blood pressure, preeclampsia, or poor fetal outcomes. Participants had a sleep test (polysomnography) to detect apnea. The goal was to understand the connection and see if CPAP therapy might help.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that treating sleep apnea with CPAP improves pregnancy outcomes in obese women.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures prevalence and associations, so it cannot prove that CPAP helps.
