Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with high morbidity. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) has become a novel (neuro-) surgical treatment strategy for obstructive sleep apnea, demonstrating good success rates. Beyond predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, no precise data are available, enabling individual preoperative risk assessment. To improve preoperative risk stratification, this study analyzed individual patient factors that affect outcomes of HNS.
