    We also excluded patients who were transferred to another hospital, to reduce the risk of duplication (see Figure 1 for study flow diagram). The study identified patients with OSA as primary or secondary diagnoses using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes (327.23) as described elsewhere.12,13 We divided the study subjects into 2 groups, OSA versus no OSA.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAU), uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), maxillomandibular advancement (MMA), tracheostomy, and the Pillar Implant and Upper Airway Stimulation are examples of surgical procedures that are utilized to treat patients diagnosed with OSA (Choi et al., 2013; Heidsieck et al., 2016; Murphey et al., 2016; Pavelec et al., 2016). Distinct types of surgical procedures (nasal surgery, palatal procedure, tongue base/hypopharynx, maxillomandibular advancement, tracheostomy, supraglottoplasty, transoral robotic assist) are often applied simultaneously to individual patients depending on their specific healthcare needs (Pathak et al., 2015). Unlike CPAP, daily use of equipment is not needed, and non-adherence is therefore not an issue for most of these surgical procedures (Pavelec et al., 2016).
