Abstract:

The International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD) renamed and redefined the term ′obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome′ (OSAHS) in 2005 and 2014; however, Chinese nomenclature still retains the term OSAHS. The term OSAHS is suggestive of the basic obstructive etiology of snoring, a necessary background of sleep, ａ typical feature of apnea and hypopnea, and ａ manifestation of a syndrome. The naming of OSAHS also reveals the clinical characteristics and diagnostic points of the condition, which seems reasonable. However， the word also reduces some misunderstanding because there are no real obstruction of upper airway, no real stop of breathing, and no clear boundary between apnea and hypopnea. As OSAHS has a clearly defined etiology and mechanism, characteristic symptoms and signs, diagnostic criteria, and effective treatments, it should be considered as an independent disease rather than a syndrome. The nomenclature of snoring disease in traditional Chinese medicine is much more refined and appropriate than OASHS.

Key words: Snoring, Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, Pathological conditions, signs and symptoms

[7] 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..
