Prognosis of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment to Velopharyngeal Insufficiency: Preliminary Study

In this study, the effect obtained through continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment was analyzed by statistical methods. Methods: From May 2012 to December 2018, using patient demographics, computed tomography (CT) scan, and nasalance test was performed on 25 patient groups treated with CPAP devices for 8 weeks to confirm the effect after 6 months. Results: After CPAP treatment in a total of 25 patients, 13 patients had a therapeutic effect. The average age of the patient group with treatment effect (effective group [EG]) was 51.2months, and the patient group with no treatment effect (ineffective group [iG]) was 73.6 months. (P
