Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

The research aims to assess the impact on quality of life of surgically maxillary expansion in adult patients followed for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Detailed Description

This assessment will be done using the following elements:

* The score of the Quebec sleep questionnaire (QSQ), developed in 2004 by Lacasse Y. et al. This questionnaire is specific to sleep apnea and may be self-administered. The main interest of this questionnaire is to measure the change in quality of life over time.

* The Epworth Scale Score, developed in 1991 by Murray W. John. This is a self-administered questionnaire developed to measure daytime sleepiness.

* Gender, age group, BMI

* The radiological assessment

* The results of polysomnography

Patients will be followed for a period of 1 year and one month after surgery. The protocol visits correspond to the rhythm of post-surgery follow-up consultations in current practice.

These patients are followed by Dr. Pételle at Saint-Antoine Hospital. During these visits, they will complete the Quebec sleep questionnaire and the Epworth scale, at baseline, at 3 months and then at 1 year.
