Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients With Partial Laryngectomy for Laryngeal Cancer
Conclusions: Larger tumor area and neck dissection might be associated with an increased risk for developing OSA in patients with partial laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer. OSA partially mediated the effect on physical health, including body pain, general health, and health transition. It is important to be aware of the potential impact of OSA on diminished HRQoL of these patients.PMID:37291880 | DOI:10.1177/01455613231178955
