OSA Prevalence
• General population (1993 data1): – AHI>5: 24% of men, 9% of
women
– AHI>5 and sleepy: 4% of men, 2% of women
• Increase in obesity Increase in OSA prevalence2,3
• Estimated 12‐18 million patients with OSA in the US

OSA – Health Care Costs
• Compared annual medical cost prior to Dx of OSA to matched non‐OSA controls – 238 OSA cases: $2720
– 476 controls: $1384
• Conclusions:– OSA patients had higher medical costs (~2x)
– OSA severity correlated with cost
– OSA: $3.4 billion extra cost/yr in US

• Anatomical – Craniofacial structure– Nose – Pharyngeal anatomy– Obesity– Airway edema– Surface tension– Lung volume
• Neuromuscular– Pharyngeal sensation– Central respiratory motor
output– Tonic activity of upper airway
dilator muscles– Arousal threshold– Loop gain (peripheral and
central chemoreceptor response)
Pathophysiolgy of OSA
Dempsey JA et al. Pathophysiology of sleep apnea. Physiol Rev 2010; 90:47‐112.
Pathophysiology of OSA• Neuromuscular feedback loop or
negative pressure reflex
• Defective compensation in OSA patients
• Possible causes?
• Central hypoxic injury
• Systemic inflammation
• Vibrational trauma (snoring)
White DP. Pathogenesis of obstructive and central sleep apnea. Am J Resp Crit Care Med 2005; 172:1363‐70.
Pathophysiology of OSA
• Hypoglossal nerve conduction study• 16 adult OSA patients• Results
– 75% had delayed distal latency– 100% had low motor amplitude
• Conclusions– OSA patients have impaired hypoglossal nerve conduction– Neuromuscular dysfunction of the upper airway may be part of the pathophysiology and/or a consequence of untreated OSA

Treatment of OSA • Positive pressure• Oral appliance• Weight loss• Surgery
• Medications?• Oropharyngeal exercises?• Electrical stimulation?
Phenotyping OSA patient/airway may have therapeutic implications
OSA Treatment
• Options:• CPAP/BIPAP• Oral appliance• Surgery• Weight loss• Adjunctive measures:
– Positional therapy– Smoking cessation– Treating allergies, reflux– Orthodontics
• New/emerging options
Positive pressure therapy (CPAP)

CPAP: Effectiveness
• ↓Snoring, nocturnal awakenings, nocturia, ESS, motor vehicle accidents
• ↑ Neurocognitive function, QOL measures
• ↓CV events, cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, blood pressure

CPAP: Adherence
• CPAP is an effective first‐line therapy for OSA patients who use it consistently
• Results intimately tied to usage or ‘adherence’
• Minimum adherence definition: 70% nights, 4h/night.
• CPAP adherence rates– APPLES Study (2012): 39% CPAP adherence at 6‐months1
– Home PAP Study (2012): 39% (Lab) and 50% (Home) CPAP adherence at 3 months2
• Many factors limit adherence31Kushida CA et al. Effects of CPAP on neurocognitivefunction in OSA patients: the APPLES. Sleep 2012;36:1593‐1602.

Need for New OSA Treatment Options
1. Lack of treatment options targeting the neuromuscular pathophysiology
2. Suboptimal adherence rates with CPAP, oral appliances, and other medical device therapy
3. Morbidity/risk and lack of high quality data for traditional upper airway surgical procedures

• Serious: Device‐related – 1% Device revision
• No permanent hypoglossal nerve weakness• No serious infection requiring device explant• Non Serious: Procedure‐related
– ~ 25% Pain (minimal, most did not require narcotics ‐substantially less than UPPP)
• Non‐Serious: Device‐related– ~ 33% Tongue discomfort / abrasion (time limited)– 1% Mild or Mod Infection (cellulitis)
Summary of relevant adverse events
Fourth Annual ENT for the PA-C | April 24-27, 2014 | Pittsburgh, PA
• 98% (124/126) of implanted participants remained active users of UAS therapy at 12‐month follow‐up. – One participant died unexpectedly due to an unrelated cause
– One participant requested a device removal for personal reasons.
• Self‐reported usage at 12 months:– 86% (106/123) still using the device daily
– 93% (115/123) using device at least 5 days a week.
• The UAS device registers the cumulative hours of stimulating pulses duration since last device interrogation. – Average stimulation time was 2.6 hours/night
– Equates to approximately 5.2 hours/night + delay/ramp time.
Adherence Data
Fourth Annual ENT for the PA-C | April 24-27, 2014 | Pittsburgh, PA
• Long‐term safety and adherence?• Long‐term effectiveness?• Most appropriate patient/airway phenotypes?• Proper stimulation parameters and titration protocol?• New technology development?
– Smaller device– MRI compatibility– Improved patient programmer
• Role of combination therapy?– Upper airway stimulation + oral appliance– Upper airway stimulation + palatal surgery

Conclusions
• Advantages– Sustainable multilevel
treatment of mod-sev OSA in carefully selected patients
– Good patient acceptance/adherence
– Low morbidity
• Disadvantages– MRI incompatibility
– Cosmesis/external incisions
– Possible tongue abrasion
Upper airway stimulation may provide…• Alternative for patients who are CPAP intolerant• Adjunct to oral appliance or airway surgery• More physiological approach to treat OSA• Insight into phenotyping OSA patients

UPPP – Effectiveness
• VA cohort: 18,754 CPAP; 2,072 UPPP
• 31% greater mortality with CPAP than UPPP (Adjusted for age, gender, race, year of treatment, and
comorbidities)
• Supports notion that partially effective treatment may provide benefit compared to therapy with significant non‐adherence

UPPP – Morbidity
• 3130 UPPP VA patients reviewed 1991‐2001– 68% had another procedure– 31% smokers
• Serious complications – uncommon (1.6%): pneumonia, resp failure, MI, DVT, hemorrhage
• Other side effects – common and potentially very bothersome and irreversible: globus/mucous sensation, dry throat, VPI, dysphagia, change in taste

Reduce morbidity
• Reconstructive approach (rather than excisional/destructive)– Maximal mucosal preservation– Minimal thermal injury (less electrocautery)– Uvular preservation
• Improved perioperative medical care– IV tylenol– Carafate suspension– Steroids– NSAIDs/Cox‐2 Inhibitors– Humidifier

Uvula ‐ Function
• Muscle contraction during speech and swallowing– Highest concentration of type II (fast‐twitch) muscle fibers in the human body
– Rapid superior/posterior movement of velum
• Induction of mucosal tolerance to inhaled and ingested antigens

Uvula ‐ Function
• “Highly organized lubricating organ”• Highest concentration of serous glands (rest of soft palate mucous glands)– Large storage ducts– Activated by muscle contraction– Capable of quickly secreting large volume of thin saliva
• Theory: uvula bastes the posterior pharyngeal wall

Phenotype the anatomy:Drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE)

• Phenotype the skeletal and muscle buttress components
• Assess the impact of mandibular advancement or patient’s oral appliance

Fourth Annual ENT for the PA-C | April 24-27, 2014 | Pittsburgh, PA
• “Cookie‐cutter” approach does not work• Different palate configurations and anatomical patterns of
obstruction.• Phenotype OSA patients based on the anatomy and
pathophysiology – not just the AHI.• Muscular and skeletal anatomy (not mucosa) determine
airway structure• Integrate this anatomy into surgical technique• Customize the treatment plan to each individual patient.• Employ more reconstructive and physiologic surgical
techniques to improved effectiveness and reduce morbidity
