Analysis of the preoperative predictive factors of Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty

  

  • Received:2019-11-25 Published:2020-11-17

Abstract: Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)is a common sleep-related respiratory disorder. If left untreated, it can lead to cardiovascular and nervous system damage. In addition to continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP), most OSA patients have surgical treatment based on the anatomical obstruction. Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty(UPPP)is the most common procedure performed. This paper reviews the current research on the preoperative evaluation of UPPP, summarizes possible predictors, and screens out more specific predictive factors. The aim is to construct a more efficient predictive system, specify the indications and contraindications of UPPP surgery.

Key words: Obstructive sleep apnea, Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, Efficacy, Prediction

[11] Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)is a chronic disease that is prevalent worldwide. The morbidity of OSA has increased year by year. The primary characteristic of OSA is repeated upper airway collapse, which causes recurrent apnea, hypopnea, and frequent decline of the oxyhemoglobin saturation. This leads to sleep fragmentation and sleep structure disorder. Patients with OSA usually suffer from daytime sleepiness and inattention. Long-term sleep fragmentation and micro-arousal state are related to many chronic diseases, such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, Type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, OSA is also closely related to tumors. With increases in the degree of OSA and hypoxemia, the incidence and mortality of related tumors have also gone up. Such tumors include lung, breast, nasopharyngeal, prostate and central nervous system cancers. To provide a reference for OSA and tumor-related research and clinical practice and develop ideas around further treatment research that could be conducted, this article reviews the profile of OSA and the statistical evidence, moreover, the molecular mechanism and treatment of OSA related to tumors will be discussed..

[12] Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS)and laryngopharyngeal reflux disease(LPRD)are two common diseases in otolaryngology. In recent years, with the increasing incidence, these diseases have affected the health of more and more people. As research on these two diseases continues to expand, the correlation between them has captured the attention of a number of scholars. In this study, we reviewed the recently published literature on the two diseases, concluding that there is a correlation between them. We have also elaborated on the factors and mechanisms of their mutual influence, analyzed the existing treatment methods of OSAS and LPRD, and provided new ideas for further refinement of the diagnosis and treatment..
