In order to obtain relatively simple and useful parameters to estimate the severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), cephalometric and fiberoptic studies were performed in 64 clinical cases previously diagnosed with either OSAS or snoring. Fourteen cephalometric parameters, 13 parameters derived from physical examination and 18 fiberoptic parameters were compared with the apnea index (AI), the apnea-hypopnea index and lowest SaO2 values. Statistically significant correlations were found between the Al and the shortest linear distance from the posterior line of the soft palate to the posterior pharyngeal wall measured along a line parallel to the supramentale-Gonion line (PAS-epipharynx distance), the distance from the mandibular plane to the most anterior and superior point on the body of the hyoid bone obtained from cephalometry (MP-H distance) and the degree of redundancy of mucosa in the arytenoid/aryepiglottic fold obtained from videoendoscopy. An increased Al was observed when the PAS-epipharynx distance was < 7 mm and there was 100% obstruction in Muller's maneuver at the palate level (supine), the MP-H distance was > 27.4 mm and the mucosa of the arytenoid/aryepiglottic fold was markedly redundant. As these three parameters are relatively easy to obtain on an outpatient basis, it is suggested that they could be used in an outpatient setting to provide a good prediction of the severity of OSAS.
