Validation of neck circumference and US-guided attenuation parameter for screening of obstructive sleep apnoea in adult overweight and obese patients: a retrospective cross-sectional study
The combined application of NC (response to anatomical features) and UGAP (response to metabolic features) is an effective screening tool for OSA in adult overweight/obese patients, especially for women with severe OSA. Future studies should focus on the application of this combined index for screening for early diagnosis and intervention of OSA.
