Mean disease alleviation (MDA) is equal to the surface area of the rectangle for which the length is given by the adjusted compliance (objective oral appliance (OA) use/total sleep time), and the height is given by the therapeutic efficacy (AHI baseline minus AHI with OA applied, expressed in percentage). MDA provides a measure of overall therapeutic effectiveness.
