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...

Evaluation of drug-induced sleep endoscopy as a patient selection tool for implanted upper airway stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea.

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.

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

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.

The sleep position trainer: a new treatment for positional obstructive sleep apnoea

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.

Statistical methods for assessing agreement between two methods of clinical measurement.

TL;DR: An alternative approach, based on graphical techniques and simple calculations, is described, together with the relation between this analysis and the assessment of repeatability.

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.

Statistical methods for assessing agreement between two methods of clinical measurement

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.
