Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome: Protocol for the development of a core outcome set.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common, chronic sleep disease. As the incidence of OSAHS increases, it has seriously threatened people's health. There have been an increasing number of clinical trials of OSAHS in recent years. However, the clinical trials of OSAHS have heterogeneous outcomes, surrogate outcomes, subjective outcomes, and composite outcomes, as well as the lack of endpoints or patient perspectives. The best method is to develop a core outcomes sets (COSs) for OSAHS's clinical trials.

Methods

The development of COSs of OSAHS will include 5 stages: RESULTS:: The results of our study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Discussion

The development of the COSs of OSAHS will improve the design and operation of OSAHS
