Abstract

Background

The purposes of this study were to evaluate clinical outcome of mandibular advancement device (MAD) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients and to estimate influencing factors on MAD effect.

Methods

From the patients who were diagnosed as OSA by polysomnography at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from January 2007 to February 2009, the patients who chose MAD as initial treatment option were included. All the patients' data were collected by reviewing and analyzing medical record and radiograph retrospectively.

Results

Eighty-six patients (76 males and 10 females; mean age of 51.5 ± 9.8 years) with OSA were included in this study. Total success rate of MAD treatment was 47.7 % (41/86 patients). Among cephalometric parameters, lower facial height (35.61 ± 4.26 vs. 38.19 ± 4.89) showed significant difference between success group and non-success group. From the polysomnographic parameters, apnea index (19.79 ± 17.32 vs. 30.08 ± 23.28), average oxygen saturation (95.03 ± 1.42 vs. 94.32 ± 1.56), lowest oxygen saturation (81.44 ± 6.64 vs. 76.87 ± 7.98), oxygen saturation under 90 % (4.47 ± 5.90 vs. 9.01 ± 9.29), and oxygen desaturation index (23.58 ± 17.46 vs. 37.16 ± 22.35) showed significant difference between groups.

Conclusions

From the results, it was proved that MAD was an effective treatment option for the OSA patients. Some cephalometric and polysomnographic parameters including posterior lower facial height, apnea index, average oxygen saturation, lowest oxygen saturation, oxygen saturation under 90 %, and oxygen desaturation index could be influencing factors on MAD effect.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
