Tailored Mandibular Advancement Therapy Guided Through a Mandibular Positioner: Predictive Value in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

open access: yesOtolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) are a recognized alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), though patient selection is still challenging. Tailored MAD guided through drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) with a mandibular titratable positioner (SAM) offers a stable and ...

Abstract Objective The primary length of stay (PLOS) metric fails to capture added time, costs, and reduced patient quality of life (QOL) associated with readmissions. To address these limitations, we propose a novel metric, the hospitalization utilization metric (HUM), which integrates PLOS and readmission LOS (RLOS). Study Design Retrospective review
