Abstrakt: The article examines the clinical characteristics of the site of obstruction in sleep apnea in terms of the associations with disease severity, obesity and implications for mechanical interventions. Topics discussed include probability of epiglottic obstruction, drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE), and expected treatment response according to phenotype labeling using DISE.
