Mandibular Plane To Hyoid In Lateral Cephalometry As A Predictive Parameter For Severity Of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Likhit Khattiyawittayakun

Chulalongkorn Medical Journal

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder affect­ing at least 2.0% to 4.0% of the adult population. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce patient burden. A lateral cephalometric radiograph (LCR) is one method to evaluate upper airway obstruction in patients with OSA.

Objective: This cross­sectional study was aimed to investigate the predictive performance of mandibular plane to hyoid (MP­H) in LCR for determining the OSA severity.

Methods: One hundred and three adult subjects were analyzed. LCR was performed under standardized processes and measured twice on separate occasions. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to obtain the …
