- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The distribution of obstruction patterns in each group was compared through Fisher's exact test. Student's t-test was used to compare DISE findings between analyzed moments. Spearman correlation coefficient was applied to correlate DISE findings to patient's clinical data and to compliance to CPAP. All test were considered with statistical significance when p<0,05%.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Effects of the association of CPAP and jaw thrust maneuver on the treatment of pharynx obstruction. Correlation of the pressure titrated with DISE and the one titrated in a sleep laboratory. Efficacy of CPAP and jaw thrust maneuver association in the pharynx obstruction.
