Effectiveness of Treatment Apnea-Hypopnea Index: A Mathematical Estimate of the True Apnea-Hypopnea Index in the Home Setting [PDF]

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2013
To present a new measurement instrument, the Effectiveness of Treatment Apnea-Hypopnea Index (ET-AHI), which the authors developed to determine an estimate of the therapeutic control of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).The authors retrospectively evaluated a cohort of patients with OSA who initially attempted to use continuous positive airway pressure ...

Comparing CPAP masks during initial titration for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: one-year experience

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2022
Objective: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard treatment for OSA. A wide variety of masks are used during CPAP therapy. The aim of the study is to compare polysomnography outcomes during titration for different types of masks (

Effect of Weight Loss on Upper Airway Anatomy and the Apnea Hypopnea Index: The Importance of Tongue Fat.

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2020
RATIONALE Obesity is the primary risk factor for sleep apnea (OSA). Tongue fat is increased in obese persons with OSA, and may explain the relationship between obesity and OSA. Weight loss improves OSA, but the mechanism is unknown.

Effect of Multilevel Upper Airway Surgery vs Medical Management on the Apnea-Hypopnea Index and Patient-Reported Daytime Sleepiness Among Patients With Moderate or Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The SAMS Randomized Clinical Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2020
Importance Many adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) use device treatments inadequately and remain untreated. Objective To determine whether combined palatal and tongue surgery to enlarge or stabilize the upper airway is an effective treatment for

Accelerometry-derived respiratory index estimating apnea-hypopnea index for sleep apnea screening

Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 2021
Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) is a multimorbid chronic disease with individual and societal deleterious consequences. Polysomnography (PSG) is the multi-parametric reference diagnostic tool that allows a manual quantification of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) to assess SAS severity.

Wearable monitoring of sleep-disordered breathing: estimation of the apnea–hypopnea index using wrist-worn reflective photoplethysmography

Scientific Reports, 2020
A large part of the worldwide population suffers from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a disorder impairing the restorative function of sleep and constituting a risk factor for several cardiovascular pathologies.

Is maxillomandibular advancement an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea? Systematic literature review and meta-analysis

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2023
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of maxillomandibular advancement surgery in the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea by comparing the pre- and postoperative Apnea and Hypopnea Index, in addition to classifying the degree of evidence and risk of

Determinants of apnea-hypopnea index variability during home sleep testing

Sleep Medicine, 2023
A single-night attended in-laboratory polysomnography or home sleep testing are common approaches for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis. However, internight variability in apnea-hypopnea index value is common, and may result in misclassification of OSA severity and inapropriate treatment decisions.To investigate factors determining short-term ...
