Most were subject to high risk of bias and showed heterogeneity in imaging protocols, measurements and outcome definitions, with little adjustment for age, gender or body mass index. Individuals with OSA often had smaller retropalatal minimum cross-sectional area (CSAmin) whereas findings for retroglossal dimensions, total airway volume, skeletal morphology and soft-tissue measures were inconsistent and lacked clear correlation with disease severity. In therapeutic studies, upper-airway volume generally increased, but baseline CBCT- and CT-derived variables and treatment-related airway enlargement did not reliably distinguish responders from non-responders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Available evidence does not support CBCT- and CT-derived airway, skeletal or soft-tissue parameter as useful tools for diagnosing and grading of OSA or predicting treatment response.
