To explore the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and the size of oropharyngeal cavity.
The distance from uvula basis to tongue, the distance between anterior and posterior tonsillar pillars and the uvula area were measured for 30 OSAS patients and 30 healthy controls.
The study data indicated that there was very significant difference between patients and healthy controls (P < 0.001). The results of correlation analysis indicated that there was a nagetive correlation between the distance from uvula basis to tongue, the distance from anterior to between posterior tonsillar pillars and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) (P < 0.05), but there was a positive correlation between uvula area and AHI (P < 0.01). The patient's height, weight were measured, the body mass index was positive correlation with AHI (P < 0.001).
These observations suggest that the obesity, smaller pharyngerl area can play an important role in the pathogenesis of OSAS.
探讨阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(OSAS)与口咽腔大小之间的关系。
对30例OSAS患者和30例健康对照者测量悬雍垂基部至舌的距离、扁桃体前后柱之间的距离以及悬雍垂面积。
研究数据表明患者与健康对照者之间存在非常显著的差异(P<0.001)。相关性分析结果表明,悬雍垂基部至舌的距离、扁桃体前后柱之间的距离与呼吸暂停低通气指数(AHI)呈负相关(P<0.05),但悬雍垂面积与AHI呈正相关(P<0.01)。测量了患者的身高、体重,体重指数与AHI呈正相关(P<0.001)。
这些观察结果表明,肥胖、较小的咽部面积在OSAS的发病机制中可能起重要作用。
