Association between the anteroposterior obstruction at the velum and AHI grades
| Grade of AP collapse at velum | Grade of OSA as per the AHI | Total (62) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mild OSA (13) (%) | Moderate OSA (16) (%) | Severe OSA (33) (%) | ||
| 0 | 23.08 | 87.50 | 60.61 | 37 (59.68%) |
| 1 | 30.77 | 6.25 | 3.03 | 6 (9.68%) |
| 2 | 46.15 | 6.25 | 36.36 | 19 (30.64%) |
Mild OSA AHI 5–15, Moderate OSA AHI > 15–30, Severe OSA AHI > 30; figures in parenthesis denotes total number of patients in that group; AP Anteroposterior, OSA Obstructive sleep apnoea, AHI Apnea–hypopnea index
