| Abstract | Background To investigate the relationship between tongue fat content and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its effects on the efficacy of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) in the Chinese group. Method Fifty-two participants concluded to this study were diagnosed as OSA by performing polysomnography (PSG) then they were divided into moderate group and severe group according to apnea hypopnea index (AHI). All of them were also collected a series of data including age, BMI, height, weight, neck circumference, abdominal circumference, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of upper airway and the score of Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) on the morning after they completed PSG. The relationship between tongue fat content and severity of OSA as well as the association between tongue fat content in pre-operation and surgical efficacy were analyzed.Participants underwent UPPP and followed up at 3rd month after surgery, and they were divided into two groups according to the surgical efficacy. Results There were 7 patients in the moderate OSA group and 45 patients in the severe OSA group. The tongue volume was significantly larger in the severe OSA group than that in the moderate OSA group. There was no difference in tongue fat volume and tongue fat rate between the two groups. There was no association among tongue fat content, AHI, obstructive apnea hypopnea index, obstructive apnea index and Epworth sleepiness scale (all P > 0.05), but tongue fat content was related to the lowest oxygen saturation (r=-0.335, P < 0.05). There was no significantly difference in pre-operative tongue fat content in two different surgical efficacy groups. Conclusions This study didn’t show an association between tongue fat content and the severity of OSA in the Chinese group, but it suggested a negative correlation between tongue fat content and the lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2). Tongue fat content didn’t influence surgical efficacy of UPPP in Chinese OSA patients. Trial registration This study didn’t report on a clinical trial, it was retrospectively registered. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
