Long-term follow-up of the German post-market study for upper airway stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea.

CONCLUSIONS: The German multi-center long-term outcomes compare favorably with previously published studies. Respiratory and sleepiness efficacy outcomes were sustained over 2 and 3 years, with a favorable safety profile, supporting the safety and efficacy of a chronic implantable therapy.
