Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Impact of severe SDB (defined as apnoea and hypopnoea index (AHI) =30/h) versus no SDB (defines as AHI<5/h) on progression-free survival

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Impact of sleep quality markers on progression-free survival Impact of SDB severity, type and sleep quality markers markers on • Quality of life • Overall survival • Survival according to different therapeutic approaches (chemotherapy, radiochemotherapy, surgery) ? Tumor marker, gene mutation and immune marker expression • Survival according to different types of SDB • Objective cardiopulmonary exercise capacity (if feasible) Prevalence of SDB Symptoms of SDB in patients with lung cancer Objective clinical status
