阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征与口咽腔大小的相关分析

目的 探讨阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（ＯＳＡＳ）与口咽放大小的关系。方法 对３０例该病患者进行了口咽腔的测量，并以３０例正常人作对照。结果：ＯＳＡＳ患者的悬雍垂基部至舌背间大腭弓间距，咽腭弓间距，悬雍垂表面积均与正常组有显著性差异（Ｐ〈０．００１），其中悬雍垂基部至舌背间距，咽腭弓间距与睡眠呼吸紊乱指数（ＡＨＩ）呈负相关（Ｐ〈０．０５），而悬雍垂表面积与ＡＨＩ呈正相关（Ｐ〈０．０５），同是通过测量受

The correlation analysis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and the size of oropharyngeal cavity

To explore the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea symdrome (OSAS) and the size of oropharyngeal cavity. Method:The distance from uvula basis to tongue,the distance between anterior and posterior tonsillar pillars and the uvula area were measured for 30 OSAS patients and 30 healthy controls. Result:The study data indicated that there was very significant difference between patients and healthy controls P<0. 001 ). The results of correlation analysis indicated that there was a nagetive correlation between the distance from uvula basis to tongue, the distance from anterior to between posterior tonsillar pillars and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) (P <0. 05), but there was a positive correlation between uvula area and AHI (P < 0. 01). The patient'S height,weight were measured, the body mass index was positive correlation with AHI (P < 0. 001 ). Conclusion: These observations suggest that the obesity, smaller pharyngerl area can play an important role in the pathogenesis of OSAS.
