Surgery for obstructive sleep apnoea
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnoea is the periodic reduction (hypopnoea) or cessation (apnoea) of airflow during sleep. The syndrome is associated with loud snoring, disrupted sleep and observed apnoeas. Beside conservative treatments there are a range of 8 broad categories of operative treatments for this condition. Surgical treatments aim to relieve the obstruction by either increasing the surface area OBJECTIVES: Surgery for obstructive sleep apnoea aims to relieve the obstruction by increasing the surface area of the airway, bypassing the pharyngeal airways or removing a lesion. The objective of this review was to assess the effects of any type of surgery for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Airways Group trials register and reference lists of articles. We contacted experts in the field, research dissemination bodies and other Cochrane Review Groups. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised and quasi-randomised trials comparing any surgical intervention for obstructive sleep apnoea with other surgical or non-surgical interventions for obstructive sleep apnoea or no intervention. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: No completed trials were identified. MAIN RESULTS: No studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. REVIEWER'S CONCLUSIONS: There is an urgent need for high quality randomised controlled trials to be carried out in the field of surgery for obstructive sleep apnoea. More research should also be undertaken to identify and standardise techniques to determine the site of airways obstructions.

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.
