Clinical Predictors in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients with Computer‐Assisted Quantitative Videoendoscopic Upper Airway Analysis

Abstract

Upper airway Mueller's studies are predictive and useful (independent samples t test/Mann-Whitney U test, ROC) in identifying patients with OSA. With these sex and anatomic-site specific OSA predictors/formulas and this innovative clinical method, we hope to assist other surgeons with quantitative clinical diagnosis, assessment, surgical planning, and outcome assessment tools for OSA patients.
