Can a simple questionnaire spot hidden sleep apnea in millions?
NCT ID NCT07736872
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study aims to measure how common obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is in community populations, patients with conditions like hypertension or diabetes, and special groups in China. Participants will fill out a screening questionnaire, and some will undergo sleep monitoring to confirm the diagnosis. The goal is to evaluate the accuracy of different screening tools for identifying OSA across these populations.
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 study could improve how obstructive sleep apnea is detected in diverse populations, leading to earlier diagnosis and better management.
- What could go wrong
- As an observational study, it does not test a treatment. The results may not apply outside China, and screening questionnaires may have limited accuracy.

Who is studied
Target participants were recruited from multiple centers: Community population: A random number table method is used to select several communities within the designated research area. The research team then obtains a complete list of registered residents in these communities as the sampling frame. A computer-based random number generator is utilized to randomly select target residents. Patients with specific diseases: hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and other OSA related comorbidities. Special population: Including college teachers and students, doctors and nurses, and company employees.
