Overview

Randomized trial assesses airway morphology in obstructive sleep apnea, highlighting the need for effective early diagnosis.

Key Points

  • This research aims to analyze the upper airway morphology in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome using a digital approach.
  • Collected clinical and sleep breathing data from OSAS patients in an otolaryngology clinic.
  • Performed cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate upper airway characteristics.
  • Developed a numerical model to analyze correlations between airway morphology and sleep parameters.
  • 3D reconstruction of CBCT images showed significant anatomical stenosis in OSAS patients compared to healthy individuals.
  • Identified correlations between upper airway measurements and altered sleep breathing parameters.
  • The numerical model effectively predicted risks for OSAS based on integrated airway measurements and sleep data.
