简要总结
In this open prospective study 40 patients who received Mandibular Replacement Appliance (MRA) Therapy as treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) will be included. The patient's sleep will be registered during 2 periods of 2 days: one while the patient does not wear the MRA and, +/- 1 week later, one while the patient wears the MRA. Furthermore, 2 low dose CT scans (one with and one without the MRA device in the mouth) will be taken. These data must allow the investigators to validate the use of functional imaging (segmentation and Computational Fluid Dynamics) as a predictor of the outcome of the MRA therapy in OSAHS patients.

结局指标
主要结局
changes in mean AHI between visit 1 and visit 2
时间窗: visit 1 (AHI of 2 nights without MRA) / visit 2 (AHI of 2 nights with MRA) (visit 2 happens +/- 1 week after visit 1)
evaluate the predictive value of upper airway segmentation and CFD analysis on responsiveness to MRA therapy in OSAHS patients
changes in UA resistance
时间窗: 1 CT scan without MRA (UA resistance without MRA) / 1 CT scan with MRA (UA resistance with MRA)
evaluate the predictive value of upper airway segmentation and CFD analysis on responsiveness to MRA therapy in OSAHS patients
次要结局
- changes in mean ESS between visit 1 and visit 2(visit 1 (ESS of 2 nights without MRA) / visit 2 (ESS of 2 nights with MRA) (visit 2 happens +/- 1 week after visit 1))
