Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome and Tracheostomy: Long-term Follow-up Experience
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), a disabling disorder that leads to life-threatening cardiorespiratory events during sleep, has been treated by tracheostomy. This article reports long-term follow-up data of 50 patients who have undergone this procedure, and the indications for surgery are summarized. Surgery may result in secondary local and general acute and subacute complications, but, on a long-term basis, patients were completely relieved of clinical symptoms, returned to full activity, and adapted normally to social and familial life. Temporary closure of the tracheostomy during sleep led to recurrence of obstructive sleep apnea.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
