OBJECTIVE To summarize and evaluate the therapeutic studies on obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)in our country. METHODS Articles of therapeutic studies on OSAHS published in major journals of our country from Jan. 1995 to Dec. 2004 were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS A total of 201 articles were recruited. The number of articles published every year was increased with time and most of the articles were retrospective study. There were no standard criteria for evaluating the curative effect,and the cure rate of UPPP were obviously different according to different evaluation criteria. In same evaluation criteria,the short- term outcome were better than long-term outcome,and the patients underwent multiple levels surgery had better outcome than single UPPP. CONCLUSION Multi-center,large sampled and prospective random comparison therapeutic study based on evaluative criteria constituted by Chinese Medical Association should be carried out in the future study. The impersonal methods and criteria for evaluation the upper airway anatomic structure and pharyngeal wall resilience should be established. Individuality therapy should be done. And finally, bring on therapeutic effect of OSAHS to a higher level in our country.
