A Comparative Analysis of Cephalometric data and Drug induced sleep endoscopy in OSA patients – a Sri Lankan perspective

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a growing problem, where the diagnosis and management are rapidly evolving. The investigative tools limited resources in developing countries pose an extra challenge optimally treating patients with OSA.Polysomnography drug induced endoscopy important diagnostic parameters. Cephalometric parameters emerging tool workup, no data available Sri Lankan population surgery features as popular treatment option. Objectives: To identify correlation between DISE, AHI cephalometric common levels of obstruction upper airway , which influence outcomes. Results: CircumferentialVelopharyngeal oropharyngeal aremore prevalent obstruction. Statistically significant collapse SNB angle epiglottic MP-H distance were seen. No DISE findings SNA angles. cephalometry AHI. Post op symptomatic relief based on ESS VAS score statistically significant. Conclusion: complimentary to findings, but not superior our population. Extremes from standard deviations should be treated caution when selecting options.
