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)
