Description

Abstract

- There are four common treatment modalities for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

• CPAP, MAD, UAS, MMA

- Retrospective data was examined to compare efficacies between these treatments for patients treated with one of these four OSA therapies.

• Primary outcome: Mean disease alleviation (MDA) - calculated value based on improvement of AHI adjusted by compliance.
• Secondary outcomes: Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) - ESS, PRAQ, SAQLI

- It was found that the greatest mean disease alleviation was found in patients who underwent MMA. PROMs showed the most significant improvement in daytime sleepiness (ESS) for MMA.
