Oropharyngeal examination to predict sleep apnea severity


It's good to see a study that validates what is widely held belief among ENT surgeons. While assessing the oropharyngeal airway ALONE is hardly a holistic approach, a finding of a narrowed passage by Friedman Tongue Position in a patient with excessive daytime sleepiness or other comorbids of OSA (eg. refractory hypertension, ischemic heart disease) has been highly predictive of OSA in my own practice.
