Factors influencing the prediction of obstructive sleep apnea: an observational study from a developing country

Key Points

• To identify factors that predict obstructive sleep apnea, focusing on anatomical measurements and their correlation with severity.
• Conducted an observational study in a developing country
• Analyzed upper airway measurements using CBCT
• Correlated findings with apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)
• Male gender and obesity are significant predictors of obstructive sleep apnea
• Upper airway measurements are correlated with AHI, indicating severity
• Anatomic factors enhance early diagnosis capabilities
