Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a rapidly increasing global concern. If it remains untreated, it can lead to cardiovascular, metabolic, and psychiatric complications and may result in premature death. The efficient and effective management of OSA can have a beneficial effect and help reduce the financial burden on the health sector. There has been constant development in OSA management, and numerous options are available. The mainstay of therapy is still the conventional measures and behavioral modifications. However, in cases of failure of these modalities, surgical therapy is the only option. Numerous studies have shown that proper management of OSA has beneficial effects with good long-term outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To show the importance of hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) as a treatment method for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the German healthcare context and to better assess the way patients who do not receive adequate care could benefit from HGNS. METHODS A systematic literature review in the Medline and Cochrane Library literature database was conducted, including publications using different stimulation technologies for HGNS. The efficacy of HGNS was assessed based on patient-relevant outcomes (daytime sleepiness, quality of life), treatment adherence and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI). The safety of the treatment method was assessed based on adverse events (AEs). RESULTS Inclusion and analysis of 33 publications: 2 randomized controlled trials (RCTs, level Ib), 1 level IIb trial (n = 1) and 30 level IV trials with a study duration of up to 60 months. The RCTs showed better values for daytime sleepiness and quality of life when using HGNS than in the control group. AHI and ODI showed a deterioration under placebo stimulation or therapy withdrawal in the RCTs. Consistently high adherence was also reported in the long-term course. Severe AEs under HGNS were rare and could usually be resolved by repositioning electrodes or replacing device components. Other AEs were mostly transient or could be resolved by non-invasive measures. All investigated parameters showed similar results in the evaluated studies. The results of different stimulation systems are comparable in type and extent. CONCLUSION The comprehensive review of the literature shows consistent data that highlight the importance of HGNS as an effective and safe treatment for OSA after unsuccessful CPAP treatment. The evaluation also shows that the different stimulation systems make it possible to better tailor the therapy to the patient's individual requirements. A future systematic evaluation of real-world data on the use of HGNS would help gain additional insights into the relevance of the method in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the efficacy of hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGS) in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Cochrane database, Embase, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar. REVIEW METHODS Five databases were reviewed to identify relevant studies that measured polysomnography parameters such as the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen desaturation index, as well as quality of life and functional outcomes of sleep questionnaire scores, before and after HGS. RESULTS In total, 44 studies involving 8670 patients met the inclusion criteria. At 12 months after treatment, approximately 47%, 72%, and 82% of patients achieved AHI values of <5, < 10, and <15, respectively. The reported clinical success rates according to Sher criteria were 80% within 12 months and 73% between 12 and 36 months. While the favorable effects exhibited a gradual reduction up to 12 months postimplantation, they generally maintained a consistent level between the 12th and 36th months, as assessed by AHI < 5, <15, and success rate according to Sher criteria. CONCLUSION HGS can enhance quality of life scores and polysomnography outcomes in obstructive sleep apnea patients. Although the positive effects gradually decreased until 12 months after implantation, they generally remained consistent between 12 and 36 months.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Minimally invasive, single-staged multilevel surgery (MISS MLS) could be an optimal treatment for selected patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We aim to systematically review the efficacy of MISS MLS for patients with OSA, as well as the clinical outcomes and possible complications in OSA patients before and after MISS MLS. DESIGN AND SETTING Systematic review and meta-analysis. Six databases were searched, and the PRISMA guideline was followed. PARTICIPANTS Patients with OSA receiving MISS MLS. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The random-effects model was adopted for the statistical synthesis. The percentage and 95% confidence interval (CI) were adopted as the effect measurements of MISS MLS for OSA. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were also performed to identify the heterogeneity among the studies. RESULTS There were initially 154 articles for identification. Eventually, six studies with a total of 848 OSA patients completely met the inclusion criteria and were further enrolled for analysis. The pooled analysis showed statistically significant lower AHI (apnea/hypopnea index, /hr.; mean difference: -8.931, 95% CI: -11.591 to -6.271, I2 = 87.4%), ESS (mean difference: -2.947, 95% CI: -4.465 to -1.429, I2 = 94.9%), and snoring severity with 0-10 visual analog scale after surgery (mean difference: -4.966, 95% CI: -5.804 to -4.128, I2 = 96.4%). The success rate was 46% in mild/moderate OSA; however, 18% in severe OSA. There were no major complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS The acceptable surgical outcomes, esp. in mild/moderate OSA, and rare complications are the major advantages of MISS MLS. The evidence of this study could aid the decision making in selecting suitable treatment programs for OSA patients.

Abstract
Study objectives Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent clinical problem significantly affecting cognitive functions. Surgical treatment is recommended for those unable to use continuous positive airway pressure. We aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of upper airway surgery on the white matter (WM) microstructure and brain connectivity in patients with OSA. Methods Twenty-one male patients with moderate-to-severe OSA were recruited for multi-level upper airway surgery. Overnight polysomnography (PSG), neuropsychiatric tests, and brain MRI scans were acquired before and 6.1 ± 0.8 months after surgery. Nineteen male patients with untreated OSA were also included as a reference group. We calculated the longitudinal changes of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters, including fractional anisotropy (ΔFA) and mean/axial/radial diffusivity (ΔMD/AD/RD). We also assessed changes in network properties based on graph theory. Results Surgically treated patients showed improvement in PSG parameters and verbal memory after surgery. Globally, ΔFA was significantly higher and ΔRD was lower in the surgery group than in the untreated group. Especially ΔFA of the tracts involved in the limbic system was higher after surgery. In network analysis, higher Δbetweenness and lower Δclustering coefficients were observed in the surgical group than in the untreated group. Finally, the improvement of verbal memory after surgery positively correlated with ΔFA in superior thalamic radiation (p = 0.021), fronto aslant tracts (p = 0.027), and forceps minor tracts (p = 0.032). Conclusion Surgical treatment of OSA can alleviate alterations in WM integrity and disruptions in local networks, particularly for the tracts involved in the limbic system. These findings may further explain the cognitive improvement observed after the treatment of OSA.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Polysomnography parameters measure treatment efficacy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), such as reduction in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). However, for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, polysomnography measures do not factor in adherence and thus do not measure effectiveness. Mean disease alleviation (MDA) corrects polysomnography measures for CPAP adherence and was used to compare treatment effectiveness between CPAP and multilevel upper airway surgery. METHODS This retrospective cohort study consisted of a consecutive sample of 331 patients with OSA managed with multilevel airway surgery as second-line treatment (N = 97) or CPAP (N = 234). Therapeutic effectiveness (MDA as % change or as corrected change in AHI) was calculated as the product of therapeutic efficacy (% or absolute change in AHI) and adherence (% time on CPAP of average nightly sleep). Cardinality and propensity score matching was utilized to manage confounding variables. RESULTS Surgery patients achieved greater MDA % than CPAP users (67 ± 30% vs. 60 ± 28%, p = 0.04, difference 7 ± 3%, 95% confidence interval 4% to 14%) in an unmatched comparison, despite a lower therapeutic efficacy seen with surgery. Cardinality matching demonstrated comparable MDA % in surgery (64%) and CPAP (57%) groups (p = 0.14, difference 8 ± 5%, 95% confidence interval -18% to 3%). MDA measured as corrected change in AHI showed similar results. CONCLUSIONS In adult patients with OSA, multilevel upper airway surgery and CPAP provide comparable therapeutic effectiveness on polysomnography. For patients with inadequate CPAP use, surgery should be considered.

Abstract
PURPOSE Scientific literature considers maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) as the most effective surgical treatment for the management of adult obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Maxillomandibular advancement enlarges the pharyngeal space by expanding the skeletal framework. Moreover, it projects the soft tissue of the cheeks, the mouth, and the nose in the aging face, which is characterized by multiple signs affecting the middle third and the lower third. The potential of orthognathic surgery (double jaw surgical advancement) of expanding the skeletal foundation to increase the facial drape support and to rejuvenate the face by a "reverse face-lift" is now recognized. The aim of this study was to review the surgical outcomes after MMA in terms of respiratory function and assessment of facial esthetics. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all patients affected by OSAS who underwent maxillomandibular advancement between January 2010 and December 2015 in 2 tertiary hospitals (IRCCS Policlinico San Martino of Genoa and IRCCS Policlinico Ca' Granda of Milan). During the postoperative follow-up examination, all patients underwent polysomnographic examination and esthetic assessment to evaluate the respiratory function and facial rejuvenation after double jaw surgical advancement. RESULTS The final study sample included 25 patients (5 females, 20 males). The overall success rate of the surgical treatment (apnea/hypopnea index, AHI <20) was 79%; the overall rate of surgical cure (AHI <5) was 47%. Twenty-three patients (92%) showed a degree of rejuvenation after MMA. CONCLUSIONS Maxillomandibular advancement is currently the most effective surgical treatment for the management of OSAS in adult patients who are not responders to medical treatment. "Reverse face-lift" is the consequence of the double jaw surgical advancement.

Abstract
In western medicine, obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is an increasingly serious public health hazard, which is exacerbated by the obesity epidemic and an aging population. Ancient medical literature of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) also recorded OSAHS-like symptoms but described the disease from a completely distinct theoretical perspective. The earliest records of snoring in ancient China can be traced back 2500 years. In TCM, the pathogenesis of OSAHS can be attributed mainly to turbid phlegm and blood stasis. Various TCM prescriptions, herbal medicines, and external therapy have also been proposed for the prevention and therapy of OSAHS. Some of these strategies are still used in current clinical practice. This review highlights historical characterizations of OSAHS and the theory of TCM and also explores its therapy in TCM, which may shed light on future OSAHS research. This is the first systematic English review of the role of TCM in the treatment of OSAHS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation and interpretation of the literature on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) allows for consolidation and determination of the key factors important for clinical management of the adult OSA patient. Toward this goal, an international collaborative of multidisciplinary experts in sleep apnea evaluation and treatment have produced the International Consensus statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (ICS:OSA). METHODS Using previously defined methodology, focal topics in OSA were assigned as literature review (LR), evidence-based review (EBR), or evidence-based review with recommendations (EBR-R) formats. Each topic incorporated the available and relevant evidence which was summarized and graded on study quality. Each topic and section underwent iterative review and the ICS:OSA was created and reviewed by all authors for consensus. RESULTS The ICS:OSA addresses OSA syndrome definitions, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors for disease, screening methods, diagnostic testing types, multiple treatment modalities, and effects of OSA treatment on multiple OSA-associated comorbidities. Specific focus on outcomes with positive airway pressure (PAP) and surgical treatments were evaluated. CONCLUSION This review of the literature consolidates the available knowledge and identifies the limitations of the current evidence on OSA. This effort aims to create a resource for OSA evidence-based practice and identify future research needs. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities include improving the metrics of OSA disease, determining the optimal OSA screening paradigms, developing strategies for PAP adherence and longitudinal care, enhancing selection of PAP alternatives and surgery, understanding health risk outcomes, and translating evidence into individualized approaches to therapy.

Abstract
Importance Evidence is lacking from randomized clinical trials of hypoglossal nerve stimulation in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of targeted hypoglossal nerve stimulation (THN) of the proximal hypoglossal nerve in patients with OSA. Design, Setting, and Participants This randomized clinical trial (THN3) was conducted at 20 centers and included 138 patients with moderate to severe OSA with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 20 to 65 events per hour and body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) of 35 or less. The trial was conducted from May 2015 through June 2018. Data were analyzed from January 2022 through January 2023. Intervention Implant with THN system; randomized 2:1 to activation at month 1 (treatment) or month 4 (control). All received 11 months of THN with follow-up at months 12 and 15, respectively. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary effectiveness end points comprised AHI and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) responder rates (RRs). Treatment responses at months 4 and 12/15 were defined as a 50% or greater reduction in AHI to 20 or less per hour and an ODI decrease of 25% or greater. Coprimary end points comprised (1) month 4 AHI and ODI RR in the treatment greater than the control group and (2) month 12/15 AHI and ODI RR in the entire cohort exceeding 50%. Secondary end points included sleep apnea severity (AHI and ODI) and patient-reported outcomes (Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire, and EQ-5D visual analog scale). Results Among 138 participants, the mean (SD) age was 56 (9) years, and 19 (13.8%) were women. Month 4 THN RRs were substantially greater in those in the treatment vs control group (AHI, 52.3% vs 19.6%; ODI, 62.5% vs 41.3%, respectively) with treatment-control standardized mean differences of 0.725 (95% CI, 0.360-1.163) and 0.434 (95% CI, 0.070-0.843) for AHI and ODI RRs, respectively. Months 12/15 RRs were 42.5% and 60.4% for AHI and ODI, respectively. Improvements in AHI, ODI, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire, and EQ-5D visual analog scale scores were all clinically meaningful (medium to large effect size). Two serious adverse events and 100 nonserious related adverse events were observed from the implant procedure or study protocol. Conclusions and Relevance This randomized clinical trial found that THN demonstrated improvements in sleep apnea, sleepiness, and quality of life in patients with OSAs over an extended AHI and body mass index range without prior knowledge of pharyngeal collapse pattern. Clinically meaningful improvements in AHI and patient-reported responses compared favorably with those of distal hypoglossal nerve stimulation trials, although clinically meaningful differences were not definitive for ODI. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02263859.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common breathing disorder in sleep in which the airways narrow or collapse during sleep, causing obstructive sleep apnea. The prevalence of OSAS continues to rise worldwide, particularly in middle-aged and elderly individuals. The mechanism of upper airway collapse is incompletely understood but is associated with several factors, including obesity, craniofacial changes, altered muscle function in the upper airway, pharyngeal neuropathy, and fluid shifts to the neck. The main characteristics of OSAS are recurrent pauses in respiration, which lead to intermittent hypoxia (IH) and hypercapnia, accompanied by blood oxygen desaturation and arousal during sleep, which sharply increases the risk of several diseases. This paper first briefly describes the epidemiology, incidence, and pathophysiological mechanisms of OSAS. Next, the alterations in relevant signaling pathways induced by IH are systematically reviewed and discussed. For example, IH can induce gut microbiota (GM) dysbiosis, impair the intestinal barrier, and alter intestinal metabolites. These mechanisms ultimately lead to secondary oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, and sympathetic activation. We then summarize the effects of IH on disease pathogenesis, including cardiocerebrovascular disorders, neurological disorders, metabolic diseases, cancer, reproductive disorders, and COVID-19. Finally, different therapeutic strategies for OSAS caused by different causes are proposed. Multidisciplinary approaches and shared decision-making are necessary for the successful treatment of OSAS in the future, but more randomized controlled trials are needed for further evaluation to define what treatments are best for specific OSAS patients.

The changes in oral volume and hyoid bone position after maxillomandibular advancement and genioglossus advancement for patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep Breath 2023; 27:239-244. [PMID: 35380343 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-022-02600-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2021] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) and genioglossus advancement (GA) are surgeries for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Postoperative evaluation is primarily based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) measured by polysomnography. The purpose of this study was to identify the timing of hyoid bone relocation after MMA and GA surgery and to investigate whether or not hyoid bone relocation can be an indicator of postoperative evaluation of OSA. METHODS Patients with OSA underwent MMA and GA surgery. Changes in hyoid bone position and tongue-to-oral volume ratio were analyzed on lateral radiographs before, immediately after, and 1 year after surgery. Then, a correlation was verified between these changes and postoperative AHI. RESULTS In 18 patients studied, the position of the hyoid bone did not show a constant tendency immediately after surgery. One year after surgery, the bone had moved anteriorly and toward the oral cavity in all patients compared to its preoperative position. And AHI correlated with the movement of the hyoid bone to the oral side. DISCUSSION One year after surgery, the tongue was adapted to the newly enlarged oral space, and as a result, the low position of the hyoid bone before the operation was improved. The findings suggest that the degree of lowering of the hyoid bone may be an indicator of the improvement of AHI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Morbidly obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are often intolerant of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The effects of sleep surgery in this population is not well documented, and sleep surgery is generally avoided due to the expectation of poor outcomes, leaving these patients untreated. METHODS This retrospective study included 42 patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥40.0 and OSA with a preoperative apnea hypopnea index (AHI) ≥5. Preoperative BMI ranged from 40.0 to 69.0 kg/m2. Preoperative AHI ranged from 7.2 to 130.0. Of 42 patients, 12 (28.6%) underwent concurrent pharyngeal and retrolingual surgery. Subgroup analysis of change in AHI was measured with respect to preoperative OSA severity, change in preoperative BMI, and BMI severity. Univariate linear and logistic regression was performed assessing change in AHI and surgical success with respect to age, sex, preoperative AHI, preoperative BMI, change in BMI, total procedures, palatal procedure, retrolingual procedure, nasal procedure, and multilevel procedures. RESULTS The mean AHI improved from 45.9 ± 31.8 to 31.9 ± 31.6 (P = .007). Epworth sleepiness score (ESS) improved from 13.2 ± 5.5 to 9.6 ± 5.4 (P = .00006). Lowest oxygen saturation (LSAT) improved from 74.4 ± 10.7 to 79.9 ± 10.4 (P = .002). About 33.3% of patients had surgical success (AHI < 20 with at least 50% reduction in AHI). Preoperative AHI was the most significant factor for change in AHI in univariate and multivariate models (P = .015). CONCLUSION Sleep surgery is effective in reducing OSA burden in most morbidly obese patients and can result in surgical cure for a third of patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE(S) Maneuvers during drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE), for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), have been used as predictors for success with oral appliances. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) promotes opening at the velum through palatoglossus coupling. In this study, we evaluate maneuvers during DISE as predictors for HGNS treatment efficacy. METHODS We evaluated patients undergoing HGNS between November, 2014 and February, 2021. We assessed maneuvers including jaw thrust and chin lift during preoperative DISE. The impact of tongue base and palatal opening during these maneuvers were rated from 1 to 4 (1: no improvement, 2: mild improvement, 3: moderate improvement, 4: significant improvement). Patients were grouped by a score of 1-2 (weak response) or 3-4 (strong response). Apnea hypopnea index (AHI) change was calculated from the difference between preoperative and postoperative sleep study. RESULTS One hundred and seventy one patients were included. With jaw thrust, there was no significant difference in AHI change between patients with weak or strong response at the palate (n = 68 vs. 94, 9.5 vs. 13.6, p = 0.21) or tongue base (n = 24 vs. 138, 16.6 vs. 11.3, p = 0.24). On chin lift, there was no significant difference at the palate (n = 82 vs. 18, 13.9 vs. 11.4, p = 0.63) or tongue base (n = 92 vs. 72, 10.8 vs. 14.6, p = 0.24). On multiple linear regression analysis, lower body mass index, higher preoperative AHI, and higher preoperative oxygen nadir were associated with a larger AHI change. CONCLUSION Palatal coupling maneuvers during DISE are not predictive of AHI change with HGNS. Findings using these maneuvers should not preclude HGNS candidacy.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic, sleep-related breathing disorder. It is characterized by a nocturnal periodic decrease or complete stop in airflow due to partial or total collapse of the oropharyngeal tract. Surgical treatment of OSA is constantly evolving and improving, especially with the implementation of new technologies, and this is needed because of the very heterogeneous reasons for OSA due to the multiple sites of potential airway obstruction. Moreover, all of these surgical methods have advantages and disadvantages; hence, patients should be approached individually, and surgical therapies should be chosen carefully. Furthermore, while it is well-established that oromaxillofacial surgery (OMFS) provides various surgical modalities for treating OSA both in adults and children, a new aspect is emerging regarding the possibility that some of the surgeries from the OMFS domain are also causing OSA. The latest studies are suggesting that surgical treatment in the head and neck region for causes other than OSA could possibly have a major impact on the emergence of newly developed OSA, and this issue is still very scarcely mentioned in the literature. Both oncology, traumatology, and orthognathic surgeries could be potential risk factors for developing OSA. This is an important subject, and this review will focus on both the possibilities of OMFS treatments for OSA and on the OMFS treatments for other causes that could possibly be triggering OSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess facial esthetics and quality of life (QoL) as measure of success or failure after maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS Visual analog scales (VAS) on facial esthetics and QoL survey, including EQ-5D3L, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and Functional Outcome of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) were collected. Outcomes were analyzed for surgical-success/failure after MMA. RESULTS Forty-one patients returned completed surveys (response: 66%). Mean VAS on facial esthetics was 57 ± 22 mm preoperative and 51 ± 24 mm postoperative (p = 0.217). When MMA was considered a surgical-failure, VAS was significantly more negative (40 ± 22 mm; p = 0.026). EQ-5D-3L showed an overall mean score of 73.2 ± 15.7, ESS was 6.3 ± 5.4, and FOSQ was 16.0 ± 3.3. CONCLUSION No significant alteration of facial esthetics were reported after MMA; however, lower QoL was associated with surgical-failure; whereas, in surgical-success, QoL were higher.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMS) treat adult and pediatric patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Objective 1 assessed sleep apnea-related education, knowledge, and professional behavior of OMS residents in the United States. Objective 2 was to compare the responses of junior versus senior residents and residents in single- versus dual-degree programs. METHODS OMS residents in the United States received a recruitment email with a link to an anonymous online survey; 81 residents responded. The survey included 20 questions to assess respondents' OSA-related education, knowledge, attitudes, and professional behavior. RESULTS Respondents generally agreed that they had received OSA-related didactic-based education (5-point scale with "5" = agree strongly: mean = 3.62) and clinical training (mean = 3.75). Clinical and classroom educational gaps were identified in relation to treatment with oral appliances and hypoglossal nerve stimulation. The residents scored on average 10.38 out of 18 (58%) possible correct answer points for the knowledge questions. Findings about pediatric OSA suggest that only 43.8% of residents understand diagnostic criteria for pediatric OSA, with only 26.6% screening pediatric patients for OSA. A case analysis showed that only 1.5% of residents correctly identified an apnea-hypopnea index of 17 as moderate sleep apnea. CONCLUSION(S) This survey found knowledge gaps in several areas that can be improved upon. It identifies deficiency in objective knowledge about OSA among OMS residents and a specific lack of clinical training and confidence with hypoglossal nerve stimulation and management of pediatric patients with OSA. Junior and senior residents and single- and dual-degree residents showed no statistically significant differences in any category except senior residents in regard to surgical management of OSA, particularly with maxillomandibular advancement.

Abstract
Treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea in adults is evolving, from a "one treatment fits all" to a more individualised approach. The spectrum of treatment options is broad and heterogeneous, including conservative, technological and pharmaceutical modalities. This raises the questions of which patients these modalities might be useful for, and if there are specific criteria for single or combined treatment. The most commonly used non-CPAP treatment is a mandibular advancement device. Furthermore, it appears from the available evidence that upper airway surgery, bariatric surgery, and maxillomandibular advancement can be effective in particular patient groups and should be indicated more readily in clinical practice. Technically, a tracheotomy is the most effective surgical treatment, but is not socially acceptable and is associated with major side-effects. Other treatment options are emerging, like positional therapy, hypoglossal nerve stimulation, and myofunctional exercises. Drug therapy is also promising when pathophysiological traits are considered. The range of currently available treatment options will be discussed in this review, with emphasis on the selection of appropriate patients, therapeutic efficacy and compliance, and reference to recent guidelines. In the selection process, routine application of drug-induced sleep endoscopy to assess the site(s) of collapse during sleep can increase the success rate of both surgical interventions and oral appliance therapy. Educational aims To outline recommendations concerning the proper management of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients that cannot be treated adequately with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) due to intolerance, poor adherence or compliance, or CPAP refusal.To provide information about the selection of appropriate patients for alternative non-CPAP treatment options.To better understand the different aspects of OSA treatment with noninvasive approaches, such as oral appliances, positional therapy, drug treatment and myofunctional therapy, including indications, contraindications, and expected short- and long-term results.To discuss the different surgical options for the treatment of OSA and to provide information on the important issue of proper patient selection for surgery, as most OSA surgical outcomes are associated with the pre-operative assessment of the level(s) of upper airway collapse.

[PMID: 35887952 PMCID: PMC9318492 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11144186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Obstruction of the tongue is commonly seen in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study proposed whole tongue treatment using coblation ablation tongue (CAT) and aimed to explore the potential association between the dimensions of a tongue and the severity of OSA, to inspect volumetric changes of the tongue after CAT, and to search for factors that influence outcome of tongue volume change. Methods: The prospective study enrolled 12 OSA patients (all male, average age: 35 years, average apnea/hypopnea index (AHI): 45.5 event/h, average body mass index (BMI): 27.0 kg/m2). All patients received multi-level sleep surgery including septomeatoplasty, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, and CAT. The CAT used a coblation wand to perform uniform multiple ablations (15 points, body −6, base −9) on dorsal tongue. Three dimensions of the tongue (length, height, and width) and tongue volume were measured from head and neck computed tomography. The perioperative changes in the tongue dimension/volume and AHI were assessed at baseline and 3 months after surgery. Result: The baseline tongue length and AHI had a significant correlation (r = 0.60, p = 0.02). The multi-level surgery significantly improved AHI (43.8 vs. 23.7, p = 0.008). The CAT significantly decreased tongue volume from 91.3 to 85.6 cm3 (p = 0.02), with an average tongue volume reduction of 5.7 cm3 per person and 0.38 cm3 per ablation. Further outcome analysis showed surgical success was significantly higher in patients with non-hypertrophic lingual tonsils (grade I/II) than in those with hypertrophic lingual tonsils (grade III/IV) (p = 0.02). Conclusion: Length of the tongue is associated with the severity of OSA. The CAT significantly decreased the tongue volume in OSA patients. A volumetric reduction of 0.38 cm3 per ablation could be useful in the optimal reduction of tongue for OSA. The CAT significantly enlarged the retroglossal airway volume, which is related to the non-hypertrophic lingual tonsil.

Abstract
Importance Patients with Down syndrome have a high incidence of persistent obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and limited treatment options. Upper airway hypoglossal stimulation has been shown to be effective for adults with OSA but has not yet been evaluated for pediatric populations. Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of upper airway stimulation for adolescent patients with Down syndrome and severe OSA. Design, Setting, and Participants This prospective single-group multicenter cohort study with 1-year follow-up was conducted between April 1, 2015, and July 31, 2021, among a referred sample of 42 consecutive adolescent patients with Down syndrome and persistent severe OSA after adenotonsillectomy. Intervention Upper airway stimulation. Main Outcomes and Measures The prespecified primary outcomes were safety and the change in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) from baseline to 12 months postoperatively. Polysomnographic and quality of life outcomes were assessed at 1, 2, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Results Among the 42 patients (28 male patients [66.7%]; mean [SD] age, 15.1 [3.0] years), there was a mean (SD) decrease in AHI of 12.9 (13.2) events/h (95% CI, -17.0 to -8.7 events/h). With the use of a therapy response definition of a 50% decrease in AHI, the 12-month response rate was 65.9% (27 of 41), and 73.2% of patients (30 of 41) had a 12-month AHI of less than 10 events/h. The most common complication was temporary tongue or oral discomfort, which occurred in 5 patients (11.9%). The reoperation rate was 4.8% (n = 2). The mean (SD) improvement in the OSA-18 total score was 34.8 (20.3) (95% CI, -42.1 to -27.5), and the mean (SD) improvement in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale score was 5.1 (6.9) (95% CI, -7.4 to -2.8). The mean (SD) duration of nightly therapy was 9.0 (1.8) hours, with 40 patients (95.2%) using the device at least 4 hours a night. Conclusions and Relevance Upper airway stimulation was able to be safely performed for 42 adolescents who had Down syndrome and persistent severe OSA after adenotonsillectomy with positive airway pressure intolerance. There was an acceptable adverse event profile with high rates of therapy response and quality of life improvement. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02344108.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether sleep surgery is associated with inflammatory cytokine changes. This study hypothesizes cytokines may change after surgery in adult obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS The study protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42020154425). Two authors independently searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane review databases from their inception to June 2021. The keywords used were sleep apnea, inflammatory markers, cytokines, and surgery. The effects of sleep surgery on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and inflammatory cytokines were evaluated using a random-effects model. Both mean difference (MD) and standardized mean difference (SMD) of the changes in cytokines were calculated. RESULTS Nine studies with 235 adults were included (mean age: 43 years; 82% were men). After sleep surgery, AHI significantly reduced by -11.3 events/h (95% confidence interval [CI], -15.8 to -6.9). In total, 8 and 6 studies were pooled for examining tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, respectively. Sleep surgery significantly reduced TNF-α levels, with an MD of -2.8 pg/ml (95% CI, -5.1 to -0.6) and an SMD of -0.56 (95% CI, -0.85 to -0.27). Furthermore, sleep surgery reduced IL-6 levels, with an MD of -0.6 pg/ml (95% CI, -1.0 to -0.2) and an SMD of -0.66 (95% CI, -0.89 to -0.43). No covariates were identified to be correlated with cytokine changes in subgroup and meta-regression analyses. Funnel plots showed possible publication bias in current data. CONCLUSIONS In adults, OSA treatment with sleep surgery improves inflammatory cytokines. Laryngoscope, 2022.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficiency of maxillomandibular advancement using aggregated individual patient data from multiple studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS This overview was structured according to the PICO strategy. It adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses checklist and was recorded on the international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO-CRD42020206135). Searches were conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, LILACS, and Cochrane databases for studies published until January 1, 2021. Data from the included studies were collected by one author, while another reviewed the compilation. RESULTS Twelve systematic reviews were included. The outcome measures studied were the apnea-hypopnea index, respiratory disturbance index, mean oxygen saturation, lowest oxygen saturation, sleepiness data, posterior air space, sella-nasion point A angle, sella-nasion point B angle, surgical success, and surgical cure in patients who underwent surgery. The AMSTAR scale presented moderate evaluations, with grades varying between 6 and 10 points. The Glenny scale revealed that the study selection did not include all languages. Only three reviews identified quality assessments conducted by at least two reviewers and only five related possible searches for unpublished data. CONCLUSIONS Bimaxillary advancement surgery improved respiratory indicators, sleepiness data, and increased upper airway size. However, it is necessary to standardize the surgical criteria to establish measurable efficiency of the procedure. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This overview makes a critical analysis of the results of the selected systematic reviews with the aim of presenting the most clinically relevant data on the maxillomandibular advancement for treating obstructive apnea syndrome, with a focus on improving respiratory, anatomical, and quality of life indices. There are no overviews that approach this theme from a well-structured perspective.

Abstract
<b>Introduction: </b> Pharyngoplasty techniques for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) have evolved, which improved the understanding of the anatomy, patient selection, and adoption of functional approaches. </br></br> <b>Aim:</b> To analyze long-term results of pharyngoplasty in OSAS patients. </br></br> <b>Material and methods:</b> Between 2007 and 2021, a total of 234 adult patients with OSAS who had previously failed positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy underwent sleep surgery. Of this group, 75 patients met the criteria of a minimum 5-year follow-up. To date, 25 patients completed the follow-up study protocol, including the medical history, visual analog scale (VAS) for snoring loudness, body mass index (BMI), endoscopy of the upper airways, type III sleep study, and standardized questionnaires including Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and EQ-5D-5L Euro – Quality of Life Questionnaire. </br></br> <b>Results:</b> The average period of follow-up was 96.80 ± 30.20 months. The mean age of participants was 54.6 ± 14.02 and the mean BMI 30.28 ± 2.74. Patients underwent uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (n = 21) and expansion sphincterpharyngoplasty (n = 4) between 2008–2015. A long-term improvement in sleep parameters was observed for the mean AHI (29.84 ± 20.06before and 19.45 ± 18.53 after surgery, p = 0.0294), and the median VAS (8.13 before and 3.78 after surgery), mean oxygen saturation during sleep 94,5% (IQR 93.0–95.25), and the median ESS score was 6.17 ± 4.57. The majority of patients reported subjective long-term improvement in sleep quality and a reduction of snoring. </br></br> <b>Conclusions:</b> In OSAS patients who failed PAP therapy, pharyngoplasty may provide a long-term improvement in upper airway obstruction during sleep.

Abstract
Sleep apnea is traditionally classified as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when the upper airway collapses due to the relaxation of oropharyngeal musculature, and central sleep apnea occurs when the brainstem cannot stimulate breathing. Most sleep apnea in patients with heart failure (HF) results from coexisting OSA and central sleep apnea (CSA), or complex sleep apnea syndrome. OSA and CSA are common in HF and can be involved in its progression by exposure to the heart to intermittent hypoxia, increased preload and afterload, activating sympathetic, and decreased vascular endothelial function. A majority of treatments have been investigated in patients with CSA and HF; however, less or short-term randomized trials demonstrated whether treating OSA in patients with HF could improve morbidity and mortality. OSA could directly influence the patient's recovery. This review will focus on past and present studies on the various therapies for OSA in patients with HF and summarize CSA treatment options for reasons of reference and completeness. More specifically, the treatment covered include surgical and non-surgical treatments and reported the positive and negative consequences for these treatment options, highlighting possible implications for clinical practice and future research directions.

Abstract
Objective This study was performed to evaluate the therapeutic effect and diagnostic value of a novel nasopharyngeal stent (Naśtent; Corinium Medical Equipment Ltd., Cirencester, UK). The Naśtent is designed to stent palatal collapse in patients with sleep-related breathing disorders. Methods The study was conducted from 2018 to 2019. Patients who did not qualify for continuous positive airway pressure therapy underwent split-night examination with an inserted Naśtent for the first half of the night. The next morning, drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) was performed. Results Of the 122 enrolled patients, 21 were excluded because of Naśtent intolerance (n = 14) or technically invalid examinations (n = 7). Among the remaining 101 patients, in correlation with DISE, the apnea–hypopnea index was significantly reduced in patients with palatal obstructions, mainly in those with anteroposterior collapse patterns. The Naśtent did not influence retrolingual or multilevel obstructions. Using a 40% reduction of the apnea–hypopnea index by the Naśtent as a cut-off value, 85.7% of soft palate obstructions were detected compared with DISE. Conclusions The Naśtent is a viable tool to reduce palatal obstructions, although it is not readily tolerated. It may also be helpful for diagnosis of sleep-related breathing disorders when DISE is unavailable.

Abstract
The prevalence of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is reportedly very high. Among SDBs, the incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is higher than previously believed, with patients having moderate-to-severe OSA accounting for approximately 20% of adult males and 10% of postmenopausal women not only in Western countries but also in Eastern countries, including Japan. Since 1998, when health insurance coverage became available, the number of patients using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for sleep apnea has increased sharply, with the number of patients about to exceed 500,000 in Japan. Although the "Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) in Adults" was published in 2005, a new guideline was prepared in order to indicate the standard medical care based on the latest trends, as supervised by and in cooperation with the Japanese Respiratory Society and the "Survey and Research on Refractory Respiratory Diseases and Pulmonary Hypertension" Group, of Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and other related academic societies, including the Japanese Society of Sleep Research, in addition to referring to the previous guidelines. Because sleep apnea is an interdisciplinary field covering many areas, this guideline was prepared including 36 clinical questions (CQs). In the English version, therapies and managements for SAS, which were written from CQ16 to 36, were shown. The Japanese version was published in July 2020 and permitted as well as published as one of the Medical Information Network Distribution Service (Minds) clinical practice guidelines in Japan in July 2021.

Auris Nasus Larynx 2022; 49:644-651. [PMID: 34991916 DOI: 10.1016/j.anl.2021.11.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2021] [Revised: 11/15/2021] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is performed as a surgical treatment at the oropharyngeal level for obstructive sleep apnea, but there are problems with variations in treatment effects and postoperative complications. Therefore, to improve those, we have devised and put into practice the so-called CWICKs, which is a modified version of barbed reposition pharyngoplasty as a surgical method. We outline the procedure of CWICKs and report the treatment results in comparison with the conventional UPPP. METHODS CWICKs are surgeries that use resorbable wound closure devices to pull the posterior palatal arch outward and elevate it anteriorly and superiorly to maintain an open upper airway during sleep at the soft palate level. We compared the therapeutic effects of 46 patients evaluated by polysomnography before and after surgery among CWICKs performed in our department between January 2015 and December 2019 and 91 patients who underwent UPPP in our department between January 2000 and December 2008. RESULTS In 46 patients who underwent CWICKs, significant improvement was observed before and after surgery using the apnea hypopnea index (AHI), obstructive apnea index (OAI), ration of each sleep stage, and SpO2 level > 90%. The improvement rate of AHI was 68.4%, and the surgical success rate was 58.7%. Postoperative patient satisfaction was also good, and significant improvement in subjective sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale) and subjective sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) was observed before and after surgery. No postoperative complications such as dysphagia or scar stenosis were observed in any of the patients in the CWICKs group. Compared with the 91 cases of UPPP, which is the conventional method, there was no significant difference in the improvement rate of AHI (p = 0.199), but the improvement rate of OAI had significantly improved (p = 0.013). Regarding the postoperative sleep stage, In the CWICKs group, a significant decrease in stage 1 and a significant increase in stage 2, stage 3, and stage rapid eye movement were observed, whereas in the UPPP group, no significant improvement in stage 3 was observed. Multivariate analysis of surgical success did not show an association with surgical methods (CWICKs or UPPP). On the other hand, an association was shown with age (<45), palatine tonsil size (≥3 / 5), high MPH (≥14 mm), and OAI rate (> 1/3). CONCLUSION The treatment outcome of CWICKs was equal to or better than that of the conventional UPPP. Future follow-up is required for long-term prognosis, but no serious postoperative complications, such as dysphagia or scar stenosis, have been observed. CWICKs are considered to be minimally invasive, simple, and effective surgical procedures with few complications.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES (1) to investigate if DISE findings are predictive of surgical response for patients undergoing MMA for OSA; and (2) to investigate the predictive value of jaw thrust maneuver during DISE in terms of surgical response to MMA. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with OSA who underwent a baseline polysomnography (PSG) and DISE followed by MMA and a 3-6-months follow-up PSG, between September 1, 2011 and September 30, 2020. RESULTS Sixty-four OSA patients (50 males [78.1%]; mean ± SD age = 51.7 ± 9.5 years; mean ± SD AHI = 49.0 ± 20.8 events/hour) were included. Thirty-nine patients were responders, and twenty-five were nonresponders. Adjusting for baseline characteristics and surgical characteristics (e.g., age, baseline AHI, degree of maxillary advancement), patients with complete anteroposterior epiglottic collapse had 0.239 times lower odds for response to MMA (95% confidence interval, 0.059-0.979; P = 0.047). No significant relationship was found between complete concentric velum collapse and MMA response. There was no statistically significant association between effect of jaw thrust maneuver during DISE on upper airway patency and treatment outcome of MMA. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that DISE is a promising tool in order to identify patients who will or will not respond to MMA for treating OSA. Patients with complete anteroposterior epiglottic collapse may be less suitable candidates for MMA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To perform an updated systematic review for determining the surgical success rate of multilevel upper airway surgery for patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSA). METHODS A systematic review was performed to identify English-language studies that evaluated the treatment of adult OSA patients with multilevel OSA surgery up to January, 2018. We used polysomnography as a metric of treatment success. Articles were only included if the surgery intervention involved at least two of the frequently involved anatomic sites: nose, oropharynx and hypopharynx. Eighty-seven studies fit the inclusion criteria and a meta-analysis was performed to determine the overall success. RESULTS The meta-analysis included 3931 subjects with a mean age of 46.1 years. The originally reported success rate in the included literature was 59.9%. A meta-analysis was performed to redefine the success rate to be consistent with the commonly agreed upon criteria - namely "a reduction in apnea/hypopnea index (AHI, /hr.) of 50% or more and an AHI of less than 20". The recalculated success rate was 60.2%. Standard meta-analytic techniques for combining p-values between studies after weighting for sample size found significant improvements in AHI, apnea index, % of rapid eye movement sleep, lowest saturation of oxygen (%), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale. CONCLUSION This study shows the significant improvement of treatment outcomes with multilevel surgery for OSA patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The probability of improvement in the upper airway space (UAS) with orthognathic surgery should be considered during the surgical-orthodontic treatment decision, providing not only an esthetic, but also a functional benefit for the patient. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 3D changes in the upper airway space after maxillomandibular advancement surgery (MMA). METHODS A retrospective analysis of 56 patients, 21 male and 35 female, with a mean age of 35.8 ± 10.7 years, who underwent MMA was performed. Pre- and postoperative cone-beam computed tomography scans (CBCT) were obtained for each patient, and the changes in the UAS were compared using Dolphin Imaging 11.7 software. Two parameters of the pharyngeal airway space (PAS) were measured: airway volume (AV) and minimum axial area (MAA). Paired t-test was used to compare the data between T0 and T1, at 5% significance level. RESULTS There was a statistically significant increase in the UAS. Bimaxillary advancement surgery increased the AV and the MAA, on average, by 73.6 ± 74.75% and 113.5 ± 123.87%, respectively. CONCLUSION MMA surgery tends to cause significant increase in the UAS; however, this increase is largely variable.

The Rise of IGFBP4 in People with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Multilevel Sleep Surgery Recovers Its Basal Levels. DISEASE MARKERS 2021; 2021:1219593. [PMID: 34646401 PMCID: PMC8505101 DOI: 10.1155/2021/1219593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Revised: 09/17/2021] [Accepted: 09/25/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
IGFBP4 is the smallest member of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein family (IGFBP). It is a hepatic protein that plays a role in modulating the activity and bioavailability of IGF-I. The expression of IGFBP4 was found to increase under conditions of hypoxia. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder, characterized by cyclic episodes of intermittent hypoxia and fragmented sleep. Our aim was to quantify levels of circulating IGFBP1, IGFBP2, IGFBP3, IGFBP4, and IGFBP7 in fasting plasma samples of 69 Kuwaiti participants and explore its correlation with indices of OSA. The quantification was performed using multiplexing assay. The study involved 28 controls and 41 patients with OSA. Levels of circulating IGFBP4 were significantly higher in people with OSA (289.74 ± 23.30 ng/ml) compared to the control group (217.60 ± 21.74 ng/ml, p = 0.028). The increase in IGFBP4 correlated significantly and positively with AHI (r = .574, p = .01) and AI (r = .794, p = .001) in people with moderate and severe OSA. There was a significant decline in circulating IGFBP4 after 3 months of surgery (225.89 ± 18.16 ng/ml, p = 0.012). This was accompanied by a prominent improvement in OSA (AHI 8.97 ± 2.37 events/h, p = 0.001). In this study, our data showed a significant increase in circulating IGFBP4 in people with OSA. We also report a significant positive correlation between IGFBP4 and indices of OSA at baseline, which suggests IGFBP4 as a potential diagnostic biomarker for OSA. There was a significant improvement in OSA after 3 months of surgical intervention, which concurred with a significant decline in IGFBP4 levels. Altogether, the detected change suggests a potential link between IGFBP4 and OSA or an OSA-related factor, whereby OSA might play a role in triggering the induction of IGFBP4 expression.

Abstract
What are the effects of sleep disturbance and changes of sleep on aging women in the short and long term? Most research that has been done in recent years evaluates how sleep disorders and sleep disturbance may change mortality and outcomes of this population. Many confounding factors may be playing a role, including comorbid conditions. This article reviews sleep disorders including insomnia, circadian sleep-wake rhythm disorders, restless legs syndrome, disorders of hypersomnia, and sleep-disordered breathing in women aged 65 and older; prevalence of these disorders; and recommended treatment options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total rhinectomy is an invasive procedure that significantly impairs the intranasal turbulence, humidification and heating of inspired air. The use of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty for the treatment of sleep-disordered breathing disorders such as primary snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea has diminished over the past years because of the emergence of less invasive procedures and alternative therapeutic options. This clinical record presents the treatment of a long-term side effect of total rhinectomy using uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. CASE REPORT In 1997, a 62-year-old male underwent total rhinectomy for a nasal schwannoma, followed by rehabilitation with a nasal prosthesis. Twenty-one years later, he presented with severe complaints of nasal blockage and breathing difficulties during both daytime and night-time. Clinical examination revealed no major anomalies besides significant velopharyngeal narrowing. Thus, in 2019, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty was performed to re-establish velopharyngeal patency. Hereafter, the symptoms of nasal blockage disappeared, resulting in an improved quality of life. CONCLUSION Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty may prove useful to treat selected patients with daytime breathing difficulties due to velopharyngeal narrowing.

Han MD, Antonini F, Borba AM, Miloro M. Are we able to predict airway dimensional changes in isolated mandibular setback? Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2021; 51:487-492. [PMID: 34407912 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2021.07.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2021] [Revised: 05/01/2021] [Accepted: 07/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
The goal of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between the amount of mandibular setback and the amount of airway dimensional changes. Records and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of patients who had undergone isolated bilateral sagittal split osteotomy setback between January 1, 2013 and March 16, 2020 at a single institution were reviewed retrospectively. The primary outcome variable was upper airway volume dimension change, and the predictor variable was the magnitude of mandibular setback as measured by six different methods. Thirty-one patients were included in the study, with a mean mandibular setback ranging from 1.41 mm to 6.11 mm. None of the predictor variables showed an association with oropharyngeal (P = 0.54) or hypopharyngeal (P = 0.33) volume. Stepwise regression analysis failed to show any significant relationships. Similarly, there was no statistically significant association between any of the predictor variables and oropharyngeal (P = 0.44) or hypopharyngeal (P = 0.74) minimum axial area. The results showed that no correlation exists between the magnitude of mandibular setback and the amount of static airway dimensional changes; therefore, it may not be possible to predict whether obstructive sleep apnea will develop following mild to moderate mandibular setback based upon CBCT measurements.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This systematic review provides supporting evidence for the accompanying clinical practice guideline on the referral of adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for surgical consultation. METHODS The American Academy of Sleep Medicine commissioned a task force of experts in sleep medicine. A systematic review was conducted to identify studies that compared the use of upper airway sleep apnea surgery or bariatric surgery to no treatment as well as studies that reported on patient-important and physiologic outcomes pre- and postoperatively. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the clinical significance of using surgery to treat obstructive sleep apnea in adults. Finally, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) process was used to assess the evidence for making recommendations. RESULTS The literature search resulted in 274 studies that provided data suitable for statistical analyses. The analyses demonstrated that surgery as a rescue therapy results in a clinically significant reduction in excessive sleepiness, snoring, blood pressure (BP), apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), respiratory disturbance index (RDI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI), increase in lowest oxygen saturation (LSAT), sleep quality, and improvement in quality of life in adults with OSA who are intolerant or unaccepting of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. The analyses demonstrated that surgery as an adjunctive therapy results in a clinically significant reduction in optimal PAP pressure and improvement in PAP adherence in adults with OSA who are intolerant or unaccepting of PAP due to side effects associated with high pressure requirements. The analyses also demonstrated that surgery as an initial treatment results in a clinically significant reduction in AHI/RDI, sleepiness, snoring, BP, and ODI, and increase in LSAT in adults with OSA and major anatomical obstruction. Analysis of bariatric surgery data showed a clinically significant reduction in BP, AHI/RDI, sleepiness, snoring, optimal PAP level, BMI, ODI, and an increase in LSAT in adults with OSA and obesity. Analyses of very limited evidence suggest that upper airway surgery does not result in a clinically significant increase in risk of serious persistent adverse events and suggested that bariatric surgery may result in a clinically significant risk of iron malabsorption that may be managed with iron supplements. The task force provided a detailed summary of the evidence along with the quality of evidence, the balance of benefits and harms, patient values and preferences, and resource use considerations.

Abstract
Sleep disorders frequently comorbid with several cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), attracting increasing scientific attention and interest. Sleep disorders include insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, restless legs syndrome, etc. It is well known that inflammation, sympathetic activation, and endothelial dysfunction play critical roles in sleep disorders, all of which are predisposing factors for CVDs. The comorbidity of sleep disorders and CVDs may have a bidirectional relationship. Patients with CVDs may have a high incidence of sleep disorders and vice versa. This review focused on the comorbidity of sleep disorders and CVDs and discussed the potential pathophysiological mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. In addition to the existing mechanisms, this review summarized novel potential mechanisms underlying comorbidities, such as gut microbiota, orexin, and extracellular vesicles, which may provide a theoretical basis for further basic research and clinical investigations on improving therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the severity of daytime sleepiness and the level of sleep apnea/hypopnea index (AHI), as well as the possibility of their correction, in the long-term period after uvulopalatoplasty (UPP) in patients suffering from obesity and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of the patients, who requested a consultation due to nighttime snoring, witnessed sleep apneas and daytime drowsiness. We included men and women of ages 40 to 65 (24 male, 17 female) without cardiac or lung insufficiency. Group 1 consisted of 19 patients, who underwent UPP 3-5 years prior to current consultation. Group 2 consisted of 22 patients, who underwent UPP 6-12 earlier, despite prior diagnosis of severe OSAS. We performed cardiorespiratory sleep monitoring, additionally patients completed the Epworth scale and sleep quality scale. Patients were re-interviewed 2 months after initiation of CPAP therapy and or intraoral device treatment. RESULTS Group 1 (n=19) displayed obesity (Body Mass Index 34.2±6.1 kg/m2), severe OSAS (AHI 55.2±18.5), high level of daytime drowsiness (Epworth score 18.7±6.3) and low sleep quality (13.0±6.8 sleep quality score). Group 2 (n=22) displayed reduction in AHI level - significant statistically, but not clinically without changes in daytime drowsiness and sleep quality, which were improved in 29 cases out of 41 with the help of CPAP-therapy (18 cases) or intraoral fixation devices (11 cases). CONCLUSION UPP does not exert a clinically significant affect the severity of sleep disturbance in patients with obesity and severe OSAS. Night sleep study is essential before making a decision about UPP. Clinical state correction of patients in the long-term period of UPP is possible with the help of CPAP therapy or intraoral fixation devices.
