The Effect of OSA on Pregnancy and Fetal Outcomes
Sponsor: Peking University First Hospital
Summary
This cohort study aims to investigate the impact of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSA) on pregnancy and fetal outcomes. The hypothesis posits that OSA may aggravate pregnancy complications, elevate the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, and potentially impact fetal development.

Interventions
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
The intervention in this study involves the use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) treatment. CPAP is a commonly used therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other sleep-related breathing disorders. The principle of CPAP treatment lies in maintaining a constant airway pressure during sleep to prevent the collapse of the upper airway and ensure unobstructed breathing. The patient wears a mask connected to a CPAP machine, which generates a steady stream of air to provide the necessary pressure.
