Polysonographical evaluation in a case of moderate osas treated with mandibular advancement device.

ABSTRACT: Background:The Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is a clinical picture characterized by partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep, associated with a reduction of oxygen saturation in the blood.The most common symptoms are: apnea sleep, snoring, headache, sleepiness, reduced concentration and memory, irritability, increased blood pressure and dry mouth. Materials and methods:It was examinated a not-smoker man of 54 years that suffers of roncophaty. He did physical examination, rhinoscopyexam, faringoscopy, rhinofibrolaringoscopy, gnathological evaluation and polysomnographic examination performed with multichannel polygraphy (VitalNight). From the performed examinations, it has been diagnosed a moderate form of obstructive apnea sleep syndrome. He was treated with a mandibular advancement device and it was repeated the polysomnographic exam. Results:Comparing the results of the polysonographic examination performed before and after the treatment, the patient's clinical picture clearly improved. It has shown a clear reduction of obstructive apneas, hypopneas and snoring. Conclusions:The use of a mandibular advancement device is certainly a valuable aid in the treatment of moderate type OSAS. The quality of diurnal life is also improved as shown with Sleepness Epworth Scale.

Project description:There is increasing evidence that mandibular advancement devices (MADs) can be an effective treatment for some patients with obstructive sleep apnea, a highly prevalent chronic disease. In this study, the objectives were to objectively assess the effectiveness of MAD therapy using a limited channel recorder, and to develop a model for identifying patients who may be appropriate for MAD therapy as the initial treatment option. Thirty patients were prospectively recruited and studied at two independent dentist offices and the participants' homes. Subjects wore the ARES Unicorder for two nights before insertion of the MAD, and again when the dentist determined that the patient had reached the titration endpoint. Self-reported measures of depression, sleepiness, and quality of life were obtained pre- and posttreatment. The reviewer was blinded to the study status while the physiological signals were being visually inspected. Significant reductions in the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI), hypoxemia measures, and snoring level were observed posttreatment. Twenty-seven of the 30 (90%) patients had a posttreatment AHI (using a 4% desaturation for hypopneas) below a clinical cut-off of 10. All but one patient (97%) exhibited at least a 50% decrease in AHI or had a posttreatment AHI < or = 10. Significant differences in body mass index, weight, and neck circumference in patients with posttreatment AHIs above and below a clinical cut-off of five were identified. The linear regression used to predict the posttreatment AHI using pretreatment data resulted in an R(2) of 0.68. The model correctly predicted two patients who were unable to obtain a posttreatment AHI of 10 or less. This study was designed to demonstrate two models of collaboration between a dental sleep medicine specialist and a sleep medicine physician in the monitoring of a patient treated with a MAD. The outcome data suggest that the limited channel recording system can be used as an alternative to laboratory polysomnography to reduce the cost of MAD treatment, and to improve the quality and consistency of posttreatment patient care.

Project description:Study objectivesIt has been suggested that treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) reduces cardiovascular risk. So far, knowledge is limited about the difference in the reduction of this risk between mandibular advancement device (MAD) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. The aim of this study was to compare the cardiovascular effects of MAD vs CPAP therapy in patients with moderate OSA.MethodsPatients with an apnea-hypopnea index of 15-30 events/h were randomized to either MAD or CPAP therapy. At baseline and after 12-month follow-up, 24-hour ambulant blood pressure measurements and laboratory measurements were performed. Ambulant blood pressure measurements consisted of 24-hour, daytime and night-time systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate measurements. Laboratory measurements consisted of serum lipid values, creatinine, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1c glycated hemoglobin, proinflammatory cytokines, soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products, chemokines, and adhesion molecules.ResultsOf the 85 randomized patients with moderate OSA, data were available for 54 patients (n = 24 MAD, n = 30 CPAP) at 12-month follow-up and showed that apnea-hypopnea index significantly decreased with either therapy. In the MAD group, soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products and glycated hemoglobin were significantly higher after 12 months' follow-up compared to baseline. No significant changes were found between MAD and CPAP treatments for all outcomes.ConclusionsTreatment of patients with moderate OSA with either MAD or CPAP therapy had no profound effects on major cardiovascular risk factors after 12 months.Clinical trial registrationRegistry: ClinicalTrials.gov; Title: MRA Therapy vs CPAP Therapy in Moderate OSAS; Identifier: NCT01588275; URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01588275.CitationUniken Venema JAM, Knol-de Vries GE, van Goor H, Westra J, Hoekema A, Wijkstra PJ.

Project description:Study objectivesObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cardiovascular comorbidities such as left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. Whether OSA is an independent etiological factor for this hypertrophic remodeling is yet unknown. Continuous positive airway pressure partially reverses this hypertrophy, but data regarding the effect of mandibular advancement devices on LV remodeling are scarce. The aim of this prospective trial is to evaluate the effect of mandibular advancement device therapy on LV geometry and function in patients with OSA.MethodsAt baseline and 6-month follow-up, participants underwent a home sleep apnea test, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and a 2-dimensional Doppler and tissue Doppler echocardiography.ResultsSixty-three patients (age: 49 ± 11 years; body mass index: 27.0 ± 3.4 kg/m2; baseline apnea-hypopnea index home sleep apnea test: 11.7 [8.2; 24.9] events/h) completed the 6-month follow-up visit. Overall, blood pressure values and parameters of LV function were within normal ranges at baseline and did not change under mandibular advancement device therapy. In contrast, the interventricular septum thickness was at the upper limits of normal at baseline and showed a significant decrease at 6-month follow-up (11.1 ± 2.1 mm vs 10.6 ± 2.0 mm, P = .03). This significant improvement is only found in responders but not in nonresponders. There was no correlation between the decrease of interventricular septum thickness and the change in blood pressure.ConclusionsIn mildly obese, normotensive patients with OSA we observed significant reverse hypertrophic remodeling after 6 months of successful mandibular advancement device therapy, with maintained normotensive systemic blood pressure. This suggests that OSA is an independent factor in the pathophysiology of LV hypertrophy in these patients.Clinical trial registrationRegistry: ClinicalTrials.gov; Name: Evaluation of the Cardiovascular Effects of the MAS in the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea; URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02320877; Identifier: NCT02320877.CitationDieltjens M, Vanderveken OM, Shivalkar B, et al.

Project description:Study objectivesMandibular advancement devices (MADs) are a noninvasive treatment option for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and act by increasing the upper airway volume. However, the exact therapeutic mechanism of action remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess MAD mechanisms using functional imaging that combines imaging techniques and computational fluid dynamics and assess associations with treatment outcome.MethodsOne hundred patients with OSA were prospectively included and treated with a custom-made MAD at a fixed 75% protrusion. A low-dose computed tomography scan was made with and without MADs for computational fluid dynamics analysis. Patients underwent a baseline and 3-month follow-up polysomnography to evaluate treatment efficacy. A reduction in apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 50% defined treatment response.ResultsOverall, 71 patients completed both 3-month follow-up polysomnography and low-dose computed tomography scan with computational fluid dynamics analysis. MAD treatment significantly reduced the apnea-hypopnea index (16.5 [10.4-23.6] events/h to 9.1 [3.9-16.4] events/h; P < .001, median [quartile 1-quartile 3]) and significantly increased the total upper airway volume (8.6 [5.4-12.8] cm3 vs 10.7 [6.4-15.4] cm3; P = .003), especially the velopharyngeal volume (2.1 [0.5-4.1] cm3 vs 3.3 [1.8-6.0] cm3; P < .001). However, subanalyses in responders and nonresponders only showed a significant increase in the total upper airway volume in responders, not in nonresponders.ConclusionsMAD acts by increasing the total upper airway volume, predominantly due to an increase in the velopharyngeal volume. Responders showed a significant increase in the total upper airway volume with MAD treatment, while there was no significant increase in nonresponders. Findings add evidence to implement functional imaging using computational fluid dynamics in routine MAD outcome prediction.Clinical trial registrationRegistry: ClinicalTrials.gov; Name: Predicting Therapeutic Outcome of Mandibular Advancement Device Treatment in Obstructive Sleep Apnea; URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01532050; Identifier: NCT01532050.CitationVan Gaver H, Op de Beeck S, Dieltjens M, et al.

Project description:STUDY OBJECTIVES:Mandibular advancement device (MAD) outcome varies between patients. We hypothesized that upper airway collapse sites, patterns, and degrees assessed during baseline drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) affect MAD outcome. METHODS:One hundred patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) were included and underwent baseline type 1 polysomnography. MAD was fitted intraorally at fixed 75% maximal protrusion. A total of 72 patients completed 3-month follow-up polysomnography and baseline DISE. Response was defined as apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) reduction ≥ 50%, deterioration as AHI increases during MAD treatment compared to baseline. RESULTS:Adjusting for baseline AHI and body mass index, patients with tongue base collapse showed 3.69 higher odds (1.27-10.73; P = .0128) for response. Complete concentric collapse at the level of the palate (5.32 [1.21-23.28]; P = .0234) and complete laterolateral oropharyngeal collapse (6.62 [1.14-38.34]; P = .0330) related to deterioration. Results for tongue base collapse and complete concentric collapse at the level of the palate were confirmed in the moderate to severe OSA subgroup. Applying these results to this selected subgroup increased response rate with 54% and decreased deterioration rate with 53%. These results were confirmed using other response and deterioration definitions. CONCLUSIONS:Three baseline DISE phenotypes identified during drug-induced sleep were significantly related to MAD treatment outcome: one beneficial, tongue base collapse, and two adverse, complete concentric collapse at the level of the palate and complete laterolateral oropharyngeal collapse. If confirmed in future prospective studies, these results could guide patient selection for MAD outcome. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION:This prospective clinical trial (PROMAD) was registered on Clinicaltrials.gov with identifier: NCT01532050.
