Success of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Using Mandibular Advancement During Sleep Endoscopy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) effectively treats obstructive sleep apnea in select patients. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is required for HGNS candidacy. Data suggest that mandibular advancement (MA) devices and HGNS share similar target populations. We aimed to test the association between MA's effect on the velum and lateral walls during DISE in relation to the improvement in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) with HGNS. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective case series METHODS: All patients completed preoperative polysomnography or home sleep study, DISE with MA prior to HGNS implantation, and full-night efficacy sleep tests. Adult patients with body mass index (BMI) ≤ 35 and AHI ≥ 15 were included. Two independent reviewers scored DISE videos. RESULTS: . Patients with a reduced airway response to MA had greater AHI improvement than patients with a robust response (21.7, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 14.4 to 29.0 vs. 4.9, 95% CI: -8.9 to 18.6; P = .03). Patients with complete baseline collapse at the velum and lateral walls (n = 11) had less response compared to those with partial collapse (n = 35) (AHI reduction of 4.4 [95% CI: -8.6 to 17.4] vs. 22.3 [95% CI: 15.1 to 29.6; P = .02]). CONCLUSIONS: Patients having significant airway improvement in the upper pharynx with MA during DISE appear less likely to succeed with HGNS. This phenomenon might be secondary to the worsened baseline obstruction of the upper pharynx in such patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 Laryngoscope, 2020.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
