| Resumo: | ObjectivesThis non-randomised clinical study aimed to identify the phenotypic characteristics that distinguish responders from non-responders. Additionally, it sought to establish a predictive model for treatment response to obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) using mandibular advancement devices (MAD), based on the analysed phenotypic characteristics.Material and MethodsThis study, registered under identifier NCT05596825, prospectively analysed MAD treatment over 6 years using two-piece adjustable appliances according to a standardised protocol. Two response definitions aligned with the latest International Consensus Statement on OSA severity were established. Logistic regression and CHAID models integrated baseline clinical, anthropometric, cephalometric anatomical, soft tissue characteristics and physiological upper airway variables.ResultsA total of 112 patients completed the study: 64 responders and 48 non-responders according to response definition 1, and 81 responders and 31 non-responders according to response definition 2. Responders to MAD treatment had lower body mass index (BMI), neck and waist circumference, Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores, apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI), snoring intensity on the Visual Analog Scale, CPAP pressure, and higher T90% and minSaO2. Patients exhibiting greater anatomical imbalance, smaller airway volume, smaller minimum cross-sectional area (CSAmin) and longer airway length demonstrated a poorer response to treatment.ConclusionsAirway length, initial T90% and anterior facial height collectively formed a highly predictive logistic regression model for response definition 1. Jarabak's ratio, gonial angle, CSAmin, airway length, initial BMI and baseline AHI constituted a highly predictive model for the second response definition. Furthermore, the CHAID regression tree established cutoff values for the variables that form the predictive models. |
