Evidence for the association of DISE with improved outcomes

Study Year LOE Study design Study groups Clinical endpoint Conclusion
Golbin et al.1650 2016 4 Cohort 1) Palate surgery ± tonsillectomy without DISE (n = 40)
2) Palate surgery ± tonsillectomy ± partial glossectomy ± partial epiglottectomy with DISE (n = 64)		 1) AHI
2) Epworth Sleepiness Scale score		 Both groups showed a significant decrease in AHI and no change in the Epworth score. There were no differences between the groups in either endpoint.
Pang et al.1651 2020 2b Cohort 1) Surgery without DISE (n = 156)
2) Surgery with DISE (n = 170)		 1) AHI
2) Systolic and diastolic blood pressure		 Surgical success rate was greater in group without DISE, as were the decreases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
