The current study aims to address two key knowledge gaps. First, we prospectively confirm that, among HGNS candidates, reduced HGNS efficacy is associated with oropharyngeal lateral wall (OLW) collapse (Aim 1). Second, given DISE is a resource-intensive procedure and delays treatment, we evaluate whether a recently developed non-invasive method for identifying OLW collapse using airflow shapes is associated with reduced HGNS efficacy (Aim 2).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Patients who underwent DISE, HGNS implantation and follow-up sleep testing were included in Aim 1 (n=369) as part of an observational cohort study.
