The Effect of Upper Airway Surgery on Loop Gain in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Conclusions:High loop gain was reduced by surgical treatment of OSA in our cohort. These data suggest that elevated loop gain may be acquired in OSA and may provide mechanistic insight into improvement in OSA with upper airway surgery.Clinical Trial Registration:Registry: ClinicalTrials.gov, Title: The Impact of Sleep Apnea Treatment on Physiology Traits in Chinese Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Identifier: NCT02696629, URL:https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT02696629Citation:Li Y, Ye J, Han D, Zhao D, Cao X, Orr J, Jen R, Deacon-Diaz N, Sands SA, Owens R, Malhotra A.
