A polysomnography (PSG) was performed in all participants. OSA was defined as an apnea\u2013hypopnea index (AHI) of 15 events\/h or higher or an AHI of 5 events\/h and higher with OSA related symptoms, such as sleeping problems, daytime dysfunction and\/or cardiac\/metabolic comorbidities collected through file review and questionnaires.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Of the 67 participants, 48 (72%, 95% CI 59\u201382%) were diagnosed with OSA. Possible risk factors are male gender, higher BMI, greater neck circumference, more nicotine pack years, cardiometabolic comorbidities, use of medication with sleepiness as side effect, present tonsils, lower T-stage (T3 vs. T4 stage), higher AJCC stage and a HPV-negative tumor.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In this population of advanced T-stage HNC patients, the prevalence of OSA was 72%, which is considerably higher than in the general population (2\u201350%). Given the high prevalence, screening of this entire subgroup for OSA may be indicated. Future studies to identify high risk factors and develop an OSA screening protocol are needed.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-024-08467-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,7]],"date-time":"2024-02-07T18:02:27Z","timestamp":1707328947000},"page":"1941-1952","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea after treatment for advanced T-stage head and neck cancer"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"281","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6761-2401","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R.
