Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Age 18–65, no gender limitation; 2.Able to understand the study content and voluntarily sign the informed consent form; 3.Capable of cooperating with the shear wave elastography ultrasound examination of the upper airway during wakefulness and performing the Müller maneuver; 4.OSA subjects must be diagnosed with OSA through PSG or a standardized portable sleep monitoring device. 5.Control subjects had no clear symptoms related to OSA or were excluded for OSA based on sleep monitoring. 6.Possesses complete or substantially complete general clinical data.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Patients who have previously undergone surgery affecting the upper airway structure, such as pharyngeal, tongue, or maxillofacial procedures; 2.Patients with combined head and neck tumors, acute inflammation, obvious structural deformities, or severe temporomandibular joint/oral opening limitations; 3.Patients with neuromuscular disorders, severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency, or other systemic diseases that preclude tolerance of the examination; 4.Pregnant or individuals deemed unsuitable for participation in this study by the investigator; 5.Those unable to perform the Müller maneuver or whose ultrasound image quality does not meet the analysis requirements; 6.Participants who refuse to sign the informed consent form or withdraw from the study midway.
