This study aimed to evaluate the utility of oropharynx ultrasonography as a screening tool for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The study sequentially enrolled overweight individuals (body mass index &gt;25\u2009kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) and subjected them to OSA screening tools (Berlin questionnaire, Epworth Sleepiness Scale and STOP\u2010Bang scores), ultrasonography of the oropharynx followed by overnight polysomnography. A total of 30 healthy individuals were also recruited as controls. Detailed dynamic and static ultrasonography measurements of the oropharynx and surrounding tissue were done. The diagnostic ability of various ultrasonography parameters to detect OSA was determined using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. A total of 63 subjects were enrolled, with 33 in the OSA group and 30 in non\u2010OSA overweight group. All baseline characteristics were similar in the two groups. Except for the dynamic measurements of oropharynx (Retropalatal% change\u2010inspiration, retropalatal% change\u2010Muller manoeuvre, retroglossal% change\u2010inspiration, and retroglossal% change\u2010Muller manoeuvre) all other parameters were similar in the OSA and non\u2010OSA overweight subjects. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was highest for retropalatal% change\u2010inspiration: 0.989, followed by retropalatal% change\u2010Muller manoeuvre: 0.988. Both were also significant predictors of OSA with odds ratios of 0.338 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.003; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.164\u20130.696) and 0.346 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.018; 95% CI 0.143\u20130.837), respectively. Ultrasonography provides a near complete picture of the dynamic changes and collapsibility of the oropharynx and can be an effective tool in screening for OSA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jsr.13712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,24]],"date-time":"2022-08-24T01:48:30Z","timestamp":1661305710000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Dynamic assessment of oropharynx with ultrasonography as a screening tool for obstructive sleep apnea"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Manjunath B.","family":"Govindagoudar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences  Rohtak India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lokesh Kumar","family":"Lalwani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Respiratory Medicine Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences  Rohtak India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pawan Kumar","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences  Rohtak India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jyotsna","family":"Sen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences  Rohtak India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5138-2908","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dhruva","family":"Chaudhry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences  Rohtak India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anl.2020.02.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11325-021-02450-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.163.3.9911064"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7860\/jcdr\/2016\/18129.8744"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ultrasmedbio.2014.06.019"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.smrv.2016.10.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2013.05.045"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.163.3.2005065"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sleep.2007.08.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5664\/jcsm.1928"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfma.2020.05.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","first-page":"3","article-title":"The ten\u2010twenty electrode system of the international federation.
