Rationale: Approximately one-third of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treated
with hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) therapy are incomplete responders, despite …

Background Identification of the obstruction site in the upper airway may help in treatment
selection for patients with sleep-disordered breathing. Because of limitations of existing …

Study Objectives: Mandibular advancement device (MAD) outcome varies between patients.
We hypothesized that upper airway collapse sites, patterns, and degrees assessed during …

Importance Recent retrospective hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) outcomes data
suggest that patients with low therapeutic positive airway pressure (PAP) levels achieve …

Objective To examine the relationship between craniofacial skeletal anatomy and objective
measures of pharyngeal collapse obtained during drug‐induced sleep endoscopy. We …

Objectives/Hypothesis To evaluate upper airway (UA) collapse patterns during drug‐
induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) and maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery …

Purpose To compare patient characteristics, upper airway (UA) collapse patterns and
treatment outcome in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, including non-positional OSA …

Objective/background Surgical interventions for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are less
effective in obese than in normal-weight children. However, the mechanisms that underpin …

Study objectives To study the pattern of upper airway collapse in patients with CPAP failure
by performing DISE while administering CPAP therapy and to determine the reason for …

Objective We analyzed the clinical characteristics of patients with isolated epiglottic collapse
(IEC) who had an epiglottic anteroposterior (AP) collapse as the only cause of snoring …
