Changes in the apnea index to hypopnea index ratio after upper airway stimulation therapy

Puntos clave

• The apnea index to hypopnea index ratio improves significantly after therapy, indicating enhanced respiratory function during sleep.
• Improvements in ratio were quantified as changes over a specific time frame, with notable decreases in obstructive events.
• Assessment involved monitoring changes before and after upper airway stimulation therapy to evaluate its efficacy in patients.
• Results underscore the importance of airway stimulation therapy in treating sleep apnea, highlighting its potential role in clinical practice.
