Clinical parameters in obstructive sleep apnea: are there any correlations?
Clinical findings in patients with OSA do correlate with the severity of OSA and polysomnographic findings. The degree of upper airway collapse during Müller manoeuvre does correlate with AHI severity. Accuracy in predicting the presence and severity of OSA allows for greater cost-effectiveness in screening patients prior to polysomnography.
Intracameral dexamethasone given at the end of cataract surgery significantly reduces postoperative AC cells in eyes with and without glaucoma, and improves subjective reports of recovery in nonglaucomatous eyes. There were no statistically significant risks of IOP elevation or other complications in glaucomatous eyes.
