Background: Bimaxillary orthognathic surgery with maxillomandibular setback is often accompanied by changes in airway space. We analyzed the changes in airway space before and after surgery and assessed their association with obstructive sleep apnea. Methods: This study is based on the cohort of 13 adult patients (9 males, 4 females, average age 23.85 years) who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery with maxillomandibular setback. We performed computed tomography and portable polysomnography before and after the surgery to assess changes in airway space and Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) values (total, supine, non-supine). Results: The oropharyngeal airway volume decreased by 29% after the surgery, which was statistically significant (p < .05). The upper airway volume and hypopharyngeal airway volume were decreased, but not significantly (4 and 19%, respectively). The changes in airway surface area were statistically significant at all levels examined (p < .05). Changes in the maximum anteroposterior width of the airway were also significant at all levels (p < .05). However, the changes in maximum lateral width were only statistically significant at C2 level (p < .05). AHI values were increased after the surgery but not significantly at any position. Conclusions: Although bimaxillary surgery with maxillomandibular setback significantly reduces the airway space, it does not affect AHI values or induce obstructive sleep apnea.

This paper proposes a new algorithm for sleep apnea detection based on stroke volume. It is very important to detect sleep apnea since it is a common and serious sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). In the previous studies, methods for sleep apnea detection using heart rate variability, airflow and blood oxygen saturation, tracheal sound have been proposed, but a method using stroke volume has not been studied. The proposed algorithm consists of detection of characteristic points in continuous blood pressure signal, estimation of stroke volume and detection of sleep apnea. To evaluate the performance of algorithm, the MIT-BIH Polysomnographic Database provided by Phsio- Net was used. As a result, the sensitivity of 85.99%, the specificity of 72.69%, and the accuracy of 84.34%, on the average were obtained. The proposed method showed comparable or higher performance compared with previous methods.

Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea (OSAH) is known to be related to nocturnal blood pressure (BP) and hypertension. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of hypertension according to the apnea-hypopnea grading. A total of 2,210 adults with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea were referred to our sleep center from July 2009 to May 2013. Clinical blood pressure (BP) was measured before sleeping (bedtime BP) and immediately after waking up in the next morning (morning BP). Subjects were classified into four groups based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) from PSG as follows: control group (n=470) simple snoring and with AHI<5; mild group (n=577) with $AHI{\geq}5$ and <15; moderate group (n=508) $AHI{\geq}15$ and <30; and severe group (n=655) with $AHI{\geq}30$. The differences and correlations between BP and PSG parameters according to the AHI groups were analyzed. Patient's were classified as nomentensive (blood pressure <120/90 mmHg, n=700), prehypertensive (blood pressure < $140-120{\leq}mmHg$, n=1297) hypertensive (blood pressure ${\geq}140/90mmHg$, n=214) according to the office blood pressure measurements. The comparison of sleep parameters showed that OSA groups had a significantly higher stage N1 (control group vs. moderate OSA, severe OSA; $66.4{\pm}30.7$ vs. $85.5{\pm}36.6$, $128.4{\pm}57.3$, p<0.001) and total arousal number (control vs. moderate OSA, severe OSA; $110.7{\pm}47.7$ vs. $150.8{\pm}56.6$, $236.6{\pm}95.8$, p<0.001) compared to control group. The comparison of sleep parameters showed that OSA groups had a significantly lower stage N2 (control group vs. moderate OSA, severe OSA; $172.6{\pm}47.2$ vs. $150.7{\pm}50.5$, $120.3{\pm}57.4$, p<0.001), stage N3 (control group vs. moderate OSA, severe OSA; $38.4{\pm}33.4$ vs. $27.4{\pm}26.0$, $56.1{\pm}27.5$, p<0.001), REM (control group vs. moderate OSA, severe OSA; $64.3{\pm}25.5$ vs. $56.1{\pm}27.5$, $47.3{\pm}25.9$, p<0.001) and mean SaO2% (control group vs. moderate OSA, severe OSA; $90.0{\pm}3.5$ vs. $82.5{\pm}5.5$, $70.0{\pm}8.8$, p<0.001) compared to control group. The Apnea-hypopnea index was significantly higher in OSA groups, increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure than in the nomentensive group (bed time systolic pressure vs. AHI; <120 vs. 120-139, 140-159, >159; $17.5{\pm}18.6$ vs. $24.9{\pm}21.0$, $31.0{\pm}25.7$, $42.3{\pm}31.7$, p<0.001), (bed time diastolic pressure vs. AHI; 60-79 vs. 80-89, 90-99, >99; $19.3{\pm}19.7$ vs. $22.4{\pm}20.3$, $29.8{\pm}23.3$, $38.8{\pm}28.5$, p<0.001). AHI was positively correlated with morning systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, bed time systolic pressure and diastolic pressure (r=0.314, 0.279, 0.233 and 0.200, respectively, p<0.001). We conclude that BMI, Age, neck circumference and AHI increase with the blood pressure.

Background: Repeated arousals during sleep have been known to be associated with excessive daytime sleepiness and cardiovascular complications. We investigated the relationship between arousal indices and clinical parameters. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 41 patients who performed polysomnography for a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. We defined total arousal index (TAI) as the number of arousals per hour and respiratory arousal index (RAI) as the number of arousals associated with apnea or hypopnea per hour. Results: There were significant positive correlations between arousal indices and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (RAI vs. AHI, r=0.958, p<0.001; TAI vs. AHI, r=0.840, p<0.001). RAI and mean oxygen saturation showed a significant negative correlation with each other (r=-0.460, p=0.002). TAI revealed a significant positive correlation with mean systolic blood pressure (MSBP) and mean diastolic blood pressure (MDBP) (TAI vs. MSBP, r=0.389, p=0.014; TAI vs. MDBP, r=0.373, p=0.019). There was no significant correlation between arousal indices and parameters of sleepiness. RAI had a significant positive correlation with body mass index (BMI) and neck circumference (NC) (RAI vs. BMI, r=0.371, p=0.017; RAI vs. NC, r=0.444, p=0.004). When partial correlation analysis was performed to adjust for other variables, there was significant correlation between RAI and AHI (r=0.935, p<0.001). Conclusion: This study shows that respiratory arousal index could be a useful index reflecting of severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Arousal during sleep would be concerned in the development of cardiovascular complication of obstructive sleep apnea. And some anthropometric factors would contribute to the development of arousals during sleep. Further studies are needed to clarify any cause-effect relationship.

Purpose: Mandibular advancement devices (MAD) are known to be insufficiently effective in all patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study aimed to compare the treatment outcomes of MAD therapy according to OSA severity and to investigate the risk factors for the lack of response to MAD therapy. Methods: A total of 29 patients diagnosed with OSA received an adjustable two-piece MAD treatment. Sleep parameters measured with the home sleep apnea test device, including apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen saturation (SpO₂), and daytime sleepiness using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) were retrospectively assessed both before and after the MAD treatment. Results: The patients were classified into three groups according to AHI severity: mild (n=16, AHI<15), moderate (n=6, 15≤AHI<30), and severe OSA (n=7, AHI≥30). MAD therapy significantly improved the sleep parameters (p<0.001 for AHI and p=0.004 for minimum SpO₂) and daytime sleepiness (p<0.001 for ESS). Furthermore, successful outcomes (reduction in AHI>50% and AHI<10 events/h) were achieved in 83.3% and 71.4% of moderate and severe OSA cases, respectively. Of 13 patients with moderate and severe OSA, 10 were classified as responders and 3 as non-responders. The non-responders had significantly lower baseline value of SpO₂ (p=0.049 for average SpO₂ and p=0.007 for minimum SpO₂) and higher baseline AHI (p=0.049) than the responders. Conclusions: The results of the present study suggest that MAD is effective in the majority of patients with OSA of varying severities. The success of MAD therapy does not seem to depend solely on AHI severity. In addition to AHI, minimum SpO₂ may be a prognostic measure of the efficacy of MAD treatment in clinical dental practice.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has negative effects on health, including increased mortality, risk of cardiovascular disease, and neurocognitive difficulties. OSAS is common in obese patients and obesity is an important risk factor of OSAS. A 41-year-old female OSAS patient with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] ${\geq}35$) who failed dietary weight loss underwent bariatric surgery. After surgery, there were improvements in BMI (from 36.9 to $31.7kg/m^2$) and polysomnographic data, including the apnea-hypopnea index (from 25.1 to 11.2 events/hr) and minimum SaO2 (from 69 to 82%). This case demonstrates that bariatric surgery may be an effective therapeutic option to reduce sleep-disordered breathing in severely obese patients with moderate OSAS. Bariatric surgery as a treatment option for OSAS should be considered in OSAS patients with severe obesity who failed dietary weight loss.

Purpose: The aims of this study were to evaluate the differences of clinical and polysomnographic features between rapid eye movement (REM)-related obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and not-REM-related OSA, and to suggest the pathogenesis according to the REM dependency of OSA. Methods: One hundred ninety consecutive patients diagnosed with OSA were evaluated clinical features and performed full night polysomnography. The patients were divided into REM-related (REM apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] at least two times higher than their non-REM AHI) and not-REM-related (a REM AHI less than two times higher than their non-REM AHI) OSA groups and evaluated the differences in age, body mass index (BMI), neck circumference, Ep-worth Sleepiness Scale score, and parameters of polysomnography. Results: REM-related patients were younger and showed higher sleep efficacy, low percentage of light sleep stage (stage 1 sleep), and low rate of positional OSA. Age was significantly associated with REM dependency of OSA and REM AHI were significant correlated with BMI, neck circumference, percentage of sleep in supine position, and percentage time of snoring. Conclusions: Our results showed that REM-related OSA patients showed less severe polysomnographic parameters than not-REM-related patients. However, significant risk factors were differed depending on the REM dependency and OSA severity, and the clinical features correlated with REM AHI and non-REM AHI were also showed differently. We suggest that the occurrence of OSA according to the REM dependency can be based on different mechanisms.

목 적 : 폐쇄성 수면무호흡 증후군(obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, OSAS)에서 앙와위는 비앙와위보다 수면무호흡을 증가시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 앙와위 자세시간(supine position time, SPT)과 OSAS의 무호흡-저호흡 지수(apnea-hypopnea index, AHI)의 관련성에 대해서 많은 연구가 있었으나, SPT가 OSAS에서 어떤 변수의 영향을 받는지는 알려져 있지 않다. OSAS에서 수면다원검사상 어떤 변수가 SPT과 관련이 있는지를 평가하였다. 방 법 : 수면다원검사로 진단된 치료받지 않은 365 명의 OSAS 남자 환자를 선정하였다. SPT($276.4{\pm}92.3$ 분)가 인구 통계학적 데이터, 수면구조 관련변수, OSAS 관련변수 및 심박변이도(Heart rate variability, HRV)와 상관관계가 있는지 분석했다. SPT에 영향을 주는 요인을 알아보기 위해 SPT에 대해 다중회귀분석을 시행하였다. 결 과 : 전체 대상군의 상관분석에서 SPT는 총수면시간(total sleep time, TST) (r = 0.443, p < 0.001)과 수면 효율(r = 0.300, p < 0.001)과 가장 유의한 상관관계가 있었고, 코골이 시간(r = 0.238, p < 0.001), 산소포화도 90 % 미만시간(r = 0.188, p < 0.001), AHI (r = 0.180, p = 0.001), 산소탈포화지수(oxygen desaturation index, ODI), (r = 0.149, p = 0.004), NN50 count(r = 0.137, p = 0.036)와 SPT 간에 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 다중회귀분석 결과 SPT에 유의한 영향을 끼치는 요인으로 TST (t = 7.781, p < 0.001), 코골이 시간(t = 3.794, p < 0.001), AHI (t = 3.768, p < 0.001), NN50 count (t = 1.993, p = 0.047)가 있었다. 결 론 : SPT는 OSAS 관련변수보다 수면구조 관련변수와 더 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 특히 SPT는 TST과 AHI 뿐만 아니라 NN50 count와도 밀접하게 관련되어 있었다. 이것은 SPT가 OSAS의 심각도뿐만 아니라 수면구조와 심박변이도에 의해서도 결정될 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.
