One hundred consecutive patients undergoing drug‐induced sleep endoscopy: Results and evaluation

Polysomnography (PSG) is mandatory in the diagnostic workup of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA); drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is a valid addition. DISE is a dynamic, safe, easy‐to‐perform technique that visualizes the anatomic sites of snoring or apneas and guides the making of a tailor‐made treatment plan in individual cases. The aim of this prospective study was to document the results of 100 consecutive DISE procedures and investigate associations between PSG and DISE findings.
