Overview

Meta-analysis evaluates outcomes of maxillomandibular advancement in obstructive sleep apnea by age and gender, indicating consistent effectiveness.

Key Points

  • This research aims to assess how age and gender influence the outcomes of maxillomandibular advancement for treating obstructive sleep apnea.
  • Comprehensive literature search conducted across multiple databases until 2026,
  • Included studies reporting age- and gender-specific outcomes of MMA for adults with OSA,
  • Meta-analysis performed on the extracted data including AHI, ESS, and surgical success rates.
  • MMA significantly improved AHI, ESS, and LSAT with p < 0.05, showing no significant differences by age or gender.
  • Mean advancement was 9.7/11.7 mm in males and 9.2/10.6 mm in females.
  • Increased age linked to lower surgical success and cure rates, with significant decline in odds of cure (OR = 0.97 annually, p = 0.029).
