Quality of Life Impact of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation with Inspire ® Device in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Intolerant to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy 15486388 32 Batool-Anwar S., Goodwin J., Kushida C., Walsh J., Simon R., Nichols D. Impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on quality of life in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Inclusion criteria consisted of patients older than 18 years, diagnosis of moderate-severe OSA according to a polysomnography study, with an AHI >15 events/hour, and who did not tolerate CPAP; the exclusion criteria: concentric collapse at the level of the soft palate during the drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE), pregnant women, patients with psychiatric disorders or with a significant component of insomnia, and/or BMI > 35. 2.2. Like those of Kent et al. [[29]], our results support HNS as a viable option in selected patients with moderate to severe OSA who do not tolerate or do not accept CPAP therapy, improving the symptoms and the quality of life of patients.
