Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: (1)According to the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea–Hypopnea Syndrome (Primary Care Version) and the Expert Consensus on Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment of Snoring, the diagnostic criteria for OSAHS are as follows. Patients who exhibit typical symptoms such as nocturnal snoring accompanied by apnea and daytime sleepiness [Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score = 9] may be diagnosed with OSAHS. Physical examination may reveal pharyngeal narrowing, adenoid hypertrophy, a thickened uvula, or tonsillar enlargement. A confirmed diagnosis of OSAHS is made when the apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) exceeds 5 events per hour. In cases where daytime sleepiness is not prominent (ESS < 9), OSAHS can also be diagnosed if the AHI is = 10 events per hour, or if the AHI is = 5 events per hour but accompanied by one or more comorbidities such as insomnia, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, coronary heart disease, hypertension, or cognitive dysfunction. The severity of OSAHS is classified as follows: mild OSAHS is defined as an AHI of 5–15 events per hour and/or a minimum nocturnal oxygen saturation of 85%–90%; moderate to severe OSAHS is defined as an AHI greater than 15 events per hour and/or a minimum nocturnal oxygen saturation below 85%. The AHI serves as the primary criterion for determining severity, while the lowest nocturnal oxygen saturation is used as a reference indicator. (2)Patients must be over 18 years of age.
