Meta-analysis Of Multislice Spiral Computed Tomography For Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome Adult Pacients About Airway Obstruction Plane Location

Objective: Polysomnography technology has been the golden standard of obstructivesleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, OSAHS)for a long time,but it can not accurately locate the upper airway obstructive plane.Recently,there are many studies using multislice CT evaluation of upper airway obstruction inadults patients with OSAHS.And this Meta-analysis is the systematic reviews aboutaccurate positioning of the diagnostic value of multislice CT for airway obstruction in thethe adult patients with OSAHS. Methods: The articals about the multi-slice spiral CT’svalue in obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome from1990to2012were searchedfrom Pubmed, MEDLINE, Cochran library and China digital periodicals network/wanfangdatabase, and these datas were analyzed by a random effects model statistics. Results:Seven articles about the multi-slice spiral CT’s value in obstructive sleep apnea hypopneasyndrome were qualified for this research, and the sensitivity and specificity wereseparately90%(95%CI:86%-93%) and91%(95%CI:87%-95%). The SROC area underthe curve was0.9594. Conclusions: The multislice CT can a better positioning method ofthe upper airway obstructive plane for adult patients with OSAHS, and it can be used asone of the important examination methods to provide a way for clinical diagnosis andtreatment.
