Predicting patient-reported outcomes of radiofrequency uvulopalatoplasty with tonsillectomy in adult obstructive sleep apnea
Radiofrequency uvulopalatoplasty with tonsillectomy significantly reduces daytime sleepiness and snoring severity in adult patients with sleep-disordered breathing. Baseline symptom severity was the sole consistent predictor for PROM improvements, highlighting the multifactorial nature of subjective outcomes and underscoring the necessity for individualized patient counseling and expectation management.
