Abstract:
Objective To investigate the short-term improvement of life quality in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)after temperature-controlled radiofrequency ablation(TCFR).Methods Totally 70 patients with OSAHS were diagnosed by polysomnography(PSG)and received TCRF in our department.The Epworth Sleepiness Scale(ESS)and Calgary Sleep Apnea Quality of Life Index(SAQLI)were surveyed before and after the therapy.The results were followed up for six months after the operation.Results The pre-operative scores of ESS was correlated with body mass index(BMI),apnea hypopnea index(AHI),lowest saturation(LSaO2)and the scores of SAQLI(correlation coefficient:0.410,0.371,-0.441,and-0.411 respectively;all P
