Among veterans with OSA, Black race was associated with reduced PAP adherence, suggesting health inequality among Black individuals in the treatment of OSA.
Palatopharyngoplasty Resolves Concentric Collapse in Patients, Enables Eligibility for Upper Airway Stimulation
Can a modified tissue-preserving uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) convert retropalatal concentric collapse to anteroposterior or lateral patterns of collapse on drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in patients who are not candidates for upper airway stimulation (UAS) due to complete circumferential collapse at the velum? BOTTOM LINE A modified UPPP can successfully convert collapse patterns in patients with complete […]
Data on Upper Airway Stimulation Therapy Show High Success Rates for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients
This interval update from the ADHERE registry outcomes demonstrates efficacy, safety, and high adherence rates for UAS therapy.
