TLDR
This new position monitoring and supine alarm device records sleep position accurately and improves OSA but not snoring in patients with supine-predominant OSA.Abstract:
Study Objectives:Approximately 30% of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients have supine-predominant OSA, and simply avoiding supine sleep should normalise respiratory disturbance event rates. Howe...read more

Evaluation of drug-induced sleep endoscopy as a patient selection tool for implanted upper airway stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea.
Olivier M. Vanderveken,Joachim T. Maurer,Winfried Hohenhorst,Evert Hamans,Ho-Sheng Lin,Anneclaire V. Vroegop,Clemens Anders,Nico de Vries,Paul Van de Heyning +8 more
TL;DR: The absence of palatal CCC during DISE may predict therapeutic success with implanted UAS therapy, and DISE can be recommended as a patient selection tool for implantation of a UAS system to treat OSA.
Journal ArticleDOI
The undervalued potential of positional therapy in position-dependent snoring and obstructive sleep apnea—a review of the literature
TL;DR: Long-term compliance for PT remains an issue, and although remarkable results have been shown using innovative treatment concepts for PT, there is room for both technical improvement of the devices and for further research.

Supine position related obstructive sleep apnea in adults: Pathogenesis and treatment
Simon A. Joosten,Simon A. Joosten,Denise M. O'Driscoll,Philip J. Berger,Garun S. Hamilton,Garun S. Hamilton +5 more
TL;DR: Why the supine position so favors upper airway collapse is explained, why the treatment of supine related OSA remains largely ignored in major clinical guidelines is presented and the available data on the management of patients with supinerelated OSA is presented.

TL;DR: The Sleep Position Trainer applied for 1 month is a highly successful and well-tolerated treatment for POSA patients, which diminishes subjective sleepiness and improves sleep-related quality of life without negatively affecting sleep efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term effectiveness and compliance of positional therapy with the sleep position trainer in the treatment of positional obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
TL;DR: Positional therapy using the Sleep Position Trainer effectively diminished the percentage of supine sleep and subjective sleepiness and improved sleep related quality of life in patients with mild to moderate position-dependent obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

A Coefficient of agreement for nominal Scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a procedure for having two or more judges independently categorize a sample of units and determine the degree, significance, and significance of the units. But they do not discuss the extent to which these judgments are reproducible, i.e., reliable.

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative approach, based on graphical techniques and simple calculations, is described, together with the relation between this analysis and the assessment of repeatability, which is often used in clinical comparison of a new measurement technique with an established one.
