Hypoxic burden reduction after lateral pharyngoplasty in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: Beyond the apnea-hypopnea index
The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), traditionally used to assess obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity and surgical outcomes, has limitations in reflecting cardiovascular risk and pathophysiological burden. Although lateral pharyngoplasty has demonstrated favorable outcomes regarding AHI reduction, its impact on hypoxic b...
