Study objective: To compare the severity of sleepapneic events occurring in the supine
posture vs the severity of sleepapneic events occurring in the lateral posture in patients with …

Purpose We assessed the prevalence of positional patients (PPs) and the main predictors of
positional dependency in severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A simulated effect of …

Study objectives To compare anthropomorphic, nocturnal polysomnographic (PSG), and
multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) data between positional (PP) and nonpositional (NPP) …

Abstract Study Objectives: To test the hypothesis that head position, separately from trunk
position, is an additionally important factor for the occurrence of apnea in obstructive sleep …

Abstract Introduction In Asian population, facial structure may contribute to the primary
pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We hypothesized that sleep position may …

Purpose This study aimed to determine the prevalence of positional obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA) and its subtypes in Korean adults with newly diagnosed OSA and document the …

The aggravating effect of the supine body position on breathing abnormalities during sleep
was recognized from the earliest studies on sleep breathing disorders. Most of the …

We analyzed the role of sleep position in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The
polysomnograms of 120 patients with sleep apnea syndrome were analyzed. We associated …

In patients with obstructive sleep apnea, it is believed that body position influences apnea
frequency. Sleeping in the lateral decubitus position often results in significantly fewer …

Fast-CT scanning was used to study the effects of changes in body position on upper airway
(UA) size and shape in 11 awake subjects with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Six patients …
