Table VI.
Distribution of patients based on treatment options chosen considering clinical information obtained during drug induced sleep endoscopy and subdivided based on AHI and BMI. In the last column, the number of cases referred to repeat polysomnography due to inconsistencies between DISE and AHI is reported.
