The diagnosis depends on patient’s clinical symptoms features and polysomnographic examination. Symptoms and signs include repetitive upper airwar obstruction, distruptive snoring and daytime sleepiness. Besides, researchers have published that OSA may be the risk factors of hypertension, ischemic heart diseases and shock, meaning that OSA is a life-concerning generalized medical problem.There are several treatment modalities of OSA and oral appliance is a simple, effective and popular treatment option among them. The etiologic factors and pathogenesis of each patient are different, so the treatment effect of oral appliance varies from each other. However, some specific craniofacial features in successful responders of oral appliances have been reported, but the features varied depending on the samples and study design.he purpose of this study was to evaluate the treatment effect of oral appliance in OSA patients in relation to their basic medical condition, craniofacial features, polysomnographic data and the improvement of self-estimated symptoms. We hope to illustrate an effective and specific method for predicting treatment response of oral appliance. aterials and methods: his was a prospective cross-section study. A total of 83 patients from Sleep Center in National Taiwan University had related clinical symtoms and signs, and were diagnosed as moderate ro severe OSA by polysomnography. Then patients were arranged for adjustable mandibular advancement oral appliance therapy in Special Clinic of Oral Appliance in Dental Department of NTU. Pre-treatment age, height and weight were recored, so the BMI were derived. Besides, baseline cephalometry was performed on each patient. Three months after treatment, patients came back to Sleep Center for follow-ups and received post-treatment polysomnography. In the meanwhile, patients were asked to answer the questionnaire of SF-36 before treatment and 3 months after treatment to assess the self-estimated responses of the treatment. Forty-four patients quit this study due to various reasons, and a total of 39 patients were recruited. The subjects were divided into two groups on the basis of the degree of changes in AHI: responders (>50% AHI reduction) and non-responders (<50% AHI reduction).aired t test was performed to examine the changes after treatment. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used for searching possible variables to predict the response of treatment.esults: The number of responders in this study was 26 and the males were predominant. The success rate of oral appliance therapy in this study was 66.67%. Average weights and BMI of all the samples significantly decreased after treatment. Improvement in polysomnographic findings were noted as well. Predictors of oral appliance treatment outcome were successfully derived in clinically valid regression models. The characteristics of responders were with low mandibular plane angle, larger nasopharnyx and oropharynx and wider inferior upper airway space. However, non-responders usually had retrognathic mandible, inferiorly and anteriorly positioned hyoid bone, longer soft palate, larger basicranial flexure. Besides, the pre-treatment rate of oxygen saturation <90% was higher in non-responders. From the analysis of questionnaire, both physical and mental conditions were better in responders than in non-responders either before or after oral appliance treatment, though only pretreatment mental and total health scores reached statisical difference. Gender difference and some specific craniofacial features seem to be related to the change of self-estimated responses. onclusion: The treatment effects of oral appliance in patients with OSA were related to multiple factors, including gender, age, weight, craniofacial structures and pre-treatment polysomnography. Therefore, clinicians can predict better treatment outcome if proper indication was established for different treatment modalities.圖目錄 iii目錄 iv謝 v文摘要 vibstract viii一章 背景 10二章 文獻回顧 11一節 睡眠呼吸中止症之盛行率與臨床特徵 11二節 睡眠呼吸中止症之診斷 12三節 睡眠呼吸中止症之致病機轉與潛在因素 13四節 睡眠呼吸中止症之止鼾器治療 14五節 止鼾器之治療效果與臨床預估 16六節 研究目的 18三章 實驗材料與方法 20一節 實驗對象 20二節 實驗儀器設備與實驗方法 20、 基礎生理指數(身高、體重、身體質量指數) 21、 測顱分析 21、 多型態睡眠評估 (Polysomnography) 24、 自覺症狀評量表 24、 統計方法 24四章 實驗結果 25一節 實驗對象特性分析結果 25二節 不同性別實驗對象於各變項之差異 26三節 影響止鼾器治療效果之因素分析 27四節 止鼾器治療效果與自覺評量指數之相關性 30五章 討論 32一節 實驗對象之治療效果與屬性分析 32二節 側顱分析量測值之誤差 34三節 性別差異對實驗結果之影響 35.1 本實驗男性及女性病患之樣本差異處理 35.2 不同性別於本實驗治療效果與顱顏結構之差異 35四節 止鼾器治療效果之因素分析 37五節 止鼾器治療效果與自覺症狀之關係 43六章 結論 46七章 未來展望 47考文獻 80錄 一 84錄 二 89application/pdf1018449 bytesapplication/pdfen-US睡眠呼吸中止症止鼾器測顱分析SF-36自覺症狀評量問卷obstructive sleep apneaoral appliancecephalometric analysisSF-36 questionairehttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/184176/1/ntu-98-P95422004-1.pdf
