Our findings suggest that, in Asian patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), obesity is a better predictor of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) failure than Friedman stage III.
This study evaluated UPPP success rates in obese and non-obese Asian patients treated for severe OSA.
Records of patients who underwent UPPP for treatment of OSA were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative and postoperative apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score, and Friedman stage were compared in non-obese (body mass index (BMI) <27 kg/m(2)) and obese (BMI ≥27 kg/m(2)) patients. Treatment success was defined as >50% reduction in preoperative AHI or postoperative AHI of <20 events/h.
Treatment success was significantly lower (p < 0.0001) in the obese group (24.6%) compared with the non-obese group (62.5%). After adjusting for gender, age, BMI, Friedman stage, and preoperative AHI and ESS score, obesity was a significant independent negative predictor of treatment success (adjusted OR = 0.297, 95% CI = 0.114-0.773, p = 0.013).
我们的研究结果表明,在患有严重阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)的亚洲患者中,肥胖比弗里德曼III期更能预测悬雍垂腭咽成形术(UPPP)的失败。
本研究评估了接受严重OSA治疗的肥胖和非肥胖亚洲患者的UPPP成功率。
回顾性分析接受UPPP治疗OSA患者的记录。比较非肥胖(体重指数(BMI)<27 kg/m²)和肥胖(BMI≥27 kg/m²)患者术前和术后的呼吸暂停/低通气指数(AHI)、爱泼沃斯嗜睡量表(ESS)评分以及弗里德曼分期。治疗成功定义为术前AHI降低>50%或术后AHI<20次/小时。
肥胖组(24.6%)的治疗成功率显著低于非肥胖组(62.5%)(p<0.0001)。在调整性别、年龄、BMI、弗里德曼分期以及术前AHI和ESS评分后,肥胖是治疗成功的显著独立负性预测因素(调整后的OR = 0.297,95%CI = 0.114 - 0.773,p = 0.013)。
