Role of drug-induced sleep endoscopy in evaluation of positional vs non-positional OSA by Ming-Chin Lan, Stanley Yung-Chuan Liu, Ming-Ying Lan, Yun-Chen Huang, Tung-Tsun Huang, Yen-Bin Hsu

“…Multivariate analysis revealed that oropharyngeal lateral wall collapse (OR = 1.90, p = 0.027) was the only anatomical factor significantly predicted non-positional dependency in OSA patients. AHI (OR = 1.04, p < 0.001), although significant, made only a marginal contribution to the prediction of non-positional dependency. …”

Effect of mild obstructive sleep apnea in mountaineers during the climb to Mount Aconcagua by Alvaro Emilio Ortiz-Naretto, Miriam Patricia Pereiro, Glenda Ernst, Juan Manuel Aramburo, Ana María Tovo, Andres Vázquez-Fernández, Eduardo Borsini

“…The OSA group presented baseline apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) values between 5-15 events per hour, which evidence a mild respiratory sleep disorder with AHI increased by altitude depending of central apneas and hypopneas (p<0.05) as high altitude periodic breathing pattern but no increase in obstructive apneas (p<0.01). …”
