Clinical predictors in obstructive sleep apnoea patients with calibrated cephalometric analysis – a new approach¹

Abstract

This new method of cephalometry using a calibrated catheter provides an accurate and simple method of obtaining precise cephalometric measurements. There is no cephalometric data on OSA from South-east Asia available. These results suggested that surgeons managing OSA patients and using cephalometry as a diagnostic method should have a set of normative and OSA cephalometric values that apply to their local populations.
