Abstract

Approximately 45% of adults snore occasionally, and 25% snore regularly, with a higher prevalence in men and an increase among postmenopausal women due to hormonal changes. Snoring is a health concern linked to vascular disease and decreased quality of life for both snorers and their bed partners. Effective snoring treatment, which aims to reduce or eliminate the sound, is challenging and depends on factors like age, comorbidities, disease severity, and anatomical features. This review aims to provide a systematic overview of the current literature on the effects of positional therapy (PT) on snoring. Various devices facilitate PT, including anti-snoring pillows and vibration alarms. PT devices maintain head and neck alignment to keep airways open, while head of bed elevation (HOBE) solutions reduce upper airway collapses by elevating the head and trunk. Studies show that PT and HOBE reduce snoring by increasing airway cross-sectional area and decreasing closing pressure. Despite their benefits, these non-surgical treatments have limitations, such as discomfort in certain sleeping positions and intolerance to prolonged head elevation. While reducing snoring intensity is critical for health reasons, further comparative studies between the different devices are needed to enhance snoring management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

(1) Background: Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) enables the three-dimensional and dynamic visualization of the upper airway (UA) during sleep, which is useful in selecting the best treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, particularly for surgical procedures. Despite international consensus statements or position papers, a universally accepted DISE methodology and classification system remain a controversial open question. (2) Methods: A review of the English scientific literature on DISE related to endoscopic classification systems and surgical outcome predictors (3) Results: Of the 105 articles, 47 were included in the analysis based on their content's relevance to the searched keywords. (4) Conclusions: A final report and scoring classification system is not universally accepted; the most internationally applied endoscopic classification system during DISE does not cover all patterns of events that occur simultaneously during the endoscopic examination, highlighting that several configurations of collapse and obstruction at different UA levels could be observed during DISE, which should be described in detail if DISE has to be considered in the decision-making process for the UA surgical treatment in OSA patients and if DISE has to have a role as a predictive factor for surgical outcomes analysis.
