Background:
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a multifactorial condition requiring collaborative management to optimize outcomes. This research evaluates the effectiveness of interdisciplinary approaches in treating OSA.
Objectives:
To analyze clinical outcomes of OSA management when integrating medical, dental, and behavioral disciplines.
Materials And Methods:
A cohort of 100 patients with moderate to severe OSA was studied over 12 months. Patients were assigned to either interdisciplinary care (Group A) or standard care (Group B). Outcomes measured included Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), patient compliance, and quality-of-life scores.
Results:
Interdisciplinary care significantly improved AHI scores (P < 0.05) and compliance rates. Quality-of-life scores also improved more in Group A compared to Group B.
Conclusion:
Interdisciplinary approaches provide better clinical and patient-centered outcomes in OSA management.
