What Are the Health Risks of Untreated Snoring without Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Snoring without OSA may contribute independently to cardiovascular disease and mortality
Literature Review: A Roundup of Important Recent Studies

Literature Review: A Roundup of Important Recent Studies
Adenotonsillectomy in obese children improves AHI but not inflammation; improvements in OSA after weight loss in obese diabetic patients even after weight regain; ESS a viable choice for children with CRS and failed therapies; otolaryngology hospitalist model can work for inpatient practices; enlarged vestibular aqueduct indicates stronger risk of hearing loss progression; patients with VFP thyroidectomy incur high cost of care
Literature Review: A Roundup of Important Recent Studies
Oral steroids in chronic rhinosinusitis; macrolide therapy for chronic rhinosinusitis; parotid gland lymphoma consideration in parotid lesion evaluation; better dialogues with patients may minimize liability in cranial nerve injury malpractice trials; obesity in children with OSA can lead to depression, withdrawal; many otolaryngologists dissatisfied with current sinus CT results
Is Nasal Surgery Effective Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
While there is no evidence that nasal surgery alone will improve objective measures of OSA, patients experience subjectively better sleep and quality of life following corrective nasal surgery
Is Overnight Monitoring Required for Adult Patients Undergoing Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Overnight monitoring is advised for patients with higher preoperative apneic indices, and/or cardiovascular comorbidities, and those undergoing tongue base surgery who may be at higher risk for respiratory complications
Variation in Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) Methods Interferes with Diagnosis, Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
American Academy of Sleep Medicine develops new scoring rule for hypopneas.
Patient Outcomes Can Measure Success of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Surgery
Symptom and quality of life measures such as patient-recorded outcomes may be better ways to gauge the success of OSA surgery than the reduction of a patient’s apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), say otolaryngologists
