Do patients with different craniofacial patterns have differences in upper airway volume? A systematic review with network meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Considerable differences in upper airway volume were found between sagittal and vertical skeletal configurations. However, results should be interpreted with caution due to the high risk of bias, owing to the retrospective study design, inconsistencies in anatomic compartment boundaries used, samples of mixed children-adult patients, and incomplete reporting.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: PROSPERO (CRD42022366928).PMID:38526866 | PMC:PMC10962399 | DOI:10.1093/ejo/cjae010
