Characteristics of Skeletal Archial Analysis Facial Patterns in Adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Skeletal archial analysis in adult OSA has not been characterized. The specific aim of this study was to characterize archial analyses of adult subjects with known OSA. The primary research question of this study was: “What is the frequency of skeletal patterns from archial analysis in adult OSA subjects?” The authors hypothesized that adult subjects with OSA will follow a retrusive pattern skeletal archial analysis with high correlation with OSA severity.
