Course/Activity Information
Oral appliances are an effective therapy for OSA, although outcomes are widely recognised to vary patient to patient and this remains a perceived barrier to therapy. This webinar explores how to predict those people who will have a successful outcome. It was recorded on 25 August 2020 and presented by Kate Sutherland.
This webinar gives an overview of:
- What we consider successful outcomes with oral appliance therapy
- Which types of patients they are associated with, and
- Whether we can use this information for patient selection for therapy, including an overview of prediction methods with a focus on recent advances in the area.
