Evaluation of sleep position shifts in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with the use of a mandibular advancement device
All the parameters, including respiratory and positional measures, were significantly reduced after the use of a MAD compared to the beginning. Spearman's correlation test revealed a relationship between the total number of sleep position shifts and the sleep position shift index with the oxygen desaturation index. However, no significant correlation was observed between the apnea-hypopnea index and the positional values.
