Relationships between Airway Morphology and Sleep Breathing Indices in Jaw Deformity Patients

To clarify how sleep breathing indices and airway morphology vary according to skeletal classification and the relationships between airway morphology and sleep breathing indices was the purpose of this study. Forty-four non-syndromic female Japanese patients, who were diagnosed with jaw deformities and underwent surgical orthodontic treatment were enrolled in this study. The apnea hypopnea index (AHI), apnea index (AI), and 4% oxygen desaturation index (4%ODI) were evaluated using the Alice 5 diagnostic sleep system (Philips Respironics; Murrysville, PA),  in each patient before they underwent orthognathic surgery. The following dimensions were measured on 2D CT.
