The preoperative examinations of these patients, including polysomnography (PSG), physical examination, and three\u2010dimensional computer tomography (3\u2010D CT), were obtained for analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The overall success rate was 62.2%. Three factors were found to be predictive in treatment outcomes (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). These were tonsil size, the percentage of time with oxygen saturation below 90% (CT90), and the vertical distance between the lower edge of the mandible and the lower edge of the hyoid (MH). After changing CT90 and MH into level variables, another regression analysis was performed and the result suggested that all three level variables could be included. A scoring system was then created based on these three variables and their odds ratio values. The total scores of all patients were calculated by the following equation: Total score\u2009=\u20092.7 tonsil size (score)\u2009+\u20092.2 CT90 (score)\u2009+\u20091.6 MH (score). The differences in success rates among patients with total scores of\u2009&lt;\u200914, 14 to 17, 17 to 22, and \u2265\u200922 were all significant (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The anatomy of the pharynx and the physiology of OSA are both important in deciding outcomes of velopharyngeal surgery.
