Risk of Cerebrovascular Diseases After Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Abstract: Little was known about the beneficial effects of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) on the outcomes after obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of UPPP on reducing risk of cerebrovascular diseases in patients with OSA.Using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of 10,339 patients with new OSA between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2009. The incident cerebrovascular disease was identified during the 1-year fo… Show more

“…UPPP was associated with a significant decrease in the incidence of ischaemic (0.30% versus 1.76%, p<0.0001) and haemorrhagic (0.07% versus 0.47%, p<0.0001) stroke; relative risk reduction after adjustments for age, sex, low income, medical comorbidities and medication was 0.41 (95% CI 0.27-0.62) and 0.53 (95% CI 0.38-0.73), respectively [75]. Limitations of that study include the relatively small number of older patients, unknown OSA severity (insurance reimbursement claims) and absence of data on possible CPAP treatment in the non-UPPP treated population.…”

“…8 PSG is a device that can show brain electrical activity, respiration, oxygen saturation during sleep and the severity of OSAS measured by Apnea-Hypopnea Index (apnea-hypopnea index, AHI). [9][10][11] Apart from all clinical and scientific advances regarding OSAS, most (70-90%) people affected by OSAS remain undiagnosed. 6 Lack of patient awareness, medical personnel have not received the training needed to help speed up case finding, and the high price of PSG examinations as gold OSAS standards are the cause of many undiagnosed OSAS patients.…”

“…In a nationwide cohort study, patients with OSA had a lower risk of cerebrovascular disease 1 year after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty as compared with patients who did not undergo uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. 8 Combinations of palate surgery with various hypopharyngeal procedures were reported to achieve a response for 35% to 73% of patients, resulting in improved but imperfect outcomes for a number of patients. 9,10 The prerequisite for surgical success for OSA is to identify the sites of obstruction in the UA.…”
