Summary
Prospective, interventional cohort study of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) to evaluate
the upper airway in a cohort of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) surgical patients. This study
has investigated the reliability of this technique, demonstrating moderate-substantial
interrater and test-retest reliability. This research has also compared DISE findings to
those of the lateral cephalogram X-ray and examined DISE findings in individuals who have not
responded to previous sleep apnea surgery. These papers have been published and available
through PubMed. Additional research is ongoing, with examination of DISE findings, comparison
to other evaluation techniques, and the association between DISE findings and surgical
outcomes.
