Development and validation of an oropharyngeal obstruction evaluation score
CONCLUSION: This study established an evaluation score for assessing the degree of oropharhygeal obstruction. The findings of the study suggest that the score may help identify patients at risk of oropharyngeal-related OSA who should have a full sleep evaluation.PMID:38180681 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-023-02978-y (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

Mandibular advancement devices decrease systolic pressure during the day and night in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Only systolic pressure appears to be affected by the use of the MAD in patients with OSA, and this decrease in systolic pressure is greater at night and when treatment time is longer.PMID:38180683 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-023-02984-0 (Source: Sleep and Breathing)

Effects of mandibular advancement devices on the evolution of obstructive sleep apnea
CONCLUSIONS: MADs led to a significant improvement in AHI and other polygraphic parameters from the onset of use. The decrease of clinical symptoms (drowsiness and fatigue) was more complex to interpret because of the small decreases observed. The absence of concordance between AHI improvement and clinical symptoms was nevertheless objectively quantified and symptoms were alleviated with advancements. The findings suggest that it may be appropriate to use clinical symptoms as a main aim of titration, since the improvement in AHI is reached at the onset of MAD use.PMID:38180684 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-023-02988-w (Source: Sleep and Breathing)
