Effects of modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty combined with pharyngeal and genioglossus exercises on sleep quality, cognitive function, and quality of life in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome: a retrospective study
To evaluate the effects of modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) combined with pharyngeal and genioglossus exercises on sleep quality in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
Key Findings:
At 6 months postoperatively, the study group showed better outcomes in upper airway remodeling, respiratory pressure, sleep quality, cognitive function, and quality of life compared to the control group (P < 0.05).
The SSS score in the study group was significantly lower than in the control group.
A greater proportion of patients in the study group rated their sleep quality as 'good' or 'very good' compared to the control group.
Interpretation:
Remove unsupported conclusions and rephrase to reflect findings directly from the results.
Limitations:
Retrospective design may introduce bias.
No a priori power analysis was conducted.
Conclusion:
Rephrase to avoid editorial interpretations and focus on the results presented.
